Matthew Williamson for H&M Spring 2009

In Vogue UK April there is a page about it. It's ridiculously expensive compared to the CDG for H&M collection. Everything is £100 - £150

That's too much. I remember when Viktor & Rolf made their collection for H&M. I bought a t-shirt for 20€, skinny jeans for 50€ (or a bit more) and a pullover for 40€.

Yes and V+R and CDG are much more established and expensive and imo better designers than him yet he is charging about 3x more!


I will scan tomorrow

the leather jacket is the only nice thing.
the printed short sleeve button up is disgusting D=

 

[RedAzalie]

what ? it's even higher priced than CdG ? are they're totally crazy ? CdG was already over priced but thiss....

 

[izanagi]

Barfulous collection.
I would feel very ugly wearing these pieces.

 

[loverunway]

Yes definitely! I thought CDG was expensive at the time but this is extortionate in comparison. You could still buy some drop crotch shorts at CDG for £30 which is pretty amazing tbh.

The Dutch Elle magazine (april 2009) has an article about Matthew Williamson and the H&M collection. There are pics of four outfits:

- a cobalt blue suit (blazer with cigarette pants) and a bright pink top
- a maxi dress with ruffles in a tribal print (purple/green/brown-ish) and a brownish leather jacket with neon yellow accents
- a cobalt blue mini dress with a pink/green peacock feather print on top
- another mini dress with wide sleeves (kimono style) in white, green, blue and yellow, worn with a wide studded belt (a bit like the one Carrie wears in SATC the movie).

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner.......

The article says the first part of the collection will be in stores in april (spring collection), the second part in may (summer collection). The prints he has used are peacocks, butterflies and flowers. The materials are more luxurious than the regular H&M clothes and the prices are also higher.

^Thanks for the description. I'm quite shocked at just how high the prices are but sadly I'm not surprised

Found these four pics today at stylefinder.com, the prices really are up there..
It really doesn't blow me away, not that I really had expected it to either.. I think the second dress is okey though, and the blazer has a lovely color, (I'm really in a colorful moment right now).

The leather jacket looks amazing in real! The peacock feather print dress is really nice as well. I also like the beach wear, especially those bikini that you'll see on Daria in the H&M campaigne!

 

[scara]

omg, the mens leather jacket is sooo hot! is the price of it out?

 

[dumbfairy]

I really like both of those dresses

 

[sill]

I love that blue blazer and the pants!
The beige leather jacket looks nice too

in last issue of TWOJ STYL ( polish magazine ) they use some pieces and i can help it but i just love one dress - it is in rasberry shade of red sleevless with thick straps , fitted corset . Quite short and bodu fitting althought around hips it's kind of puffy. and in poland it will be for 399 so on euros it could be less or more around 100 euros.
