Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garcons for H&M Designer Collection

[loverunway]

Ugh you guys are so lucky! I'm thinking of skipping school but then again I think that's really bad just in the name of shopping haha. Maybe I'll fake being ill. :/ hmmm.

Does anyone know ANYTHING about the price range?I want to know how much the coat is going to be. It's probably the most expensive part of the collection!

i was in a curious mood today so after browsing around h&m decided to ask one of the sales assistants if they had any information on the collection yet, due to the confusion on her face, the fear in her eyes for not knowing the answer to my question "excuse me do you have any information on the comme de garcons collection?" at first she looked at me like i was absolutely mad then came up with a stuttering "no we dont"

needless to say she hadnt a clue what i was going on about and the expression on her face led me to come to the conclusion that she had never heard of cdg before in her life.

i couldnt be bothered to ask another sales assistant just incase they really did think i was talking rubbish and going mad. supose i'll have to be patient and see if the signs go up in the window nearer the time or brave asking again.

yea got my time table today .. off all day thursday .. get in am made up

 

[loverunway]

lolol I hate how the staff in H&M never know anything. Like they don't even know about the 20% off voucher from the newsletter... They obviously haven't been trained very well.

this collection isn't going to be sold in all US stores is it?

 

[lucy92]

theres no use asking any H&M assistants about CDG. they arent allowed to know anything..

 

[loverunway]

idk, is there a list that says all the stores it's going to be in? I don't want to go to the H&M flagship in London as I bet it will be the one sold out quickest...

i've asked before about other collections and it never seemed to be a problem. ah well its just going to be a waiting game i supose.

it pretty be in my h&m ...
i want the coat, the dots and maybe the jacket. not really about the shirt. it really looks cheap.
i'm liking some stuff for women.

i wanted to ask, as i'm not an h&m by ... buyer.
but : rei K. did not do a special collection for h&m. it seems she's just taken some stuff from previous season. (i've seen the winter season in shop it's FABULOUS. the coat with kiss or hearts ? is to die for. if i remember well it was styled with some balmain.) ....
is it what the others did, as well ?!

anyway. i have huge expectations for this sort of peacoat. i really do hope the quality is good. and photo won't lie (i've been recently disappointed at h&m by a sort of trench inspired jacket).

oh, saturday was probably my lucky day, but I asked the sales lady at chula vista's H&M exactly the same (if they'd be carrying the comme des garçons line), and she gave me a look and said 'yes, it'll be here by november but there will be a bigger selection at our new store in fashion valley, which opens october 30th'.. she did know what I was asking amd hoping for. lovely woman.

 

[loverunway]

wow, Oct 30 ! Which country do you live in?
I am going to ask because I want to know the exact date. Maybe it is the weekend and I will go and queue really early haha but i doubt it!!

I got told today my store is not carrying it ill have to go to manchester .. aparently its only the flagship uk stores carrying it .. manchester, london, brum and leeds

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

^^^ what 4 stores in the whole country?

i know leeds is the closest but its not like its just down the road pfft.

 

[gossiping]

damn...Brighton in the UK never gets anything! (I have to admit from what i've seen so far this collection isn't really my style anyway though!)

 

[snowqueen]

thats what he said ..he said they are the four flagships, and this is going to be the most exclusive one of the colaberations yet as the last few times had mixed responses in areas..so this one is more limeted etc..also he said theres really smallnumbers to try and create the buzz that was there with the other designers .. as unlike lagerfeld etc. rei isnt really a household name

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

thats really disapointing i know shes not a household name but i believed the concept was to make high end designers designs accesable to us highstreet shoppers. blah i can stop being excited now.

the new store is opening on oct 30th.. the CDG line will arrive at the same time as anywhere else, I suppose.

Gaultier_Bandit, yes, good ol' Fashion Valley .. wait to see your football fans and suburban housewives in H&M from now on.
