yep, it'll definitely be a thursday... it has been the 2nd thursday for the last two collections but i think it could be the 6th or the 13th this year.

that link takes me to the press release about cdg, with 'latest images' at the side just showing h&m's a/w collection campaign images. i can't see any pictures of the cdg collection? i wouldn't have thought they'd be released for a couple of months...?

 

[katsu]

oh, shoot, you're right.

the notcouture blog posted those images this morning and said that they were from the cdg & h&m collection.

i'm actually really relieved that those aren't the pictures then! i was disappointed and confused when i saw those pictures.

sorry.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

im actually excited about this i really want to see images just to plan whether i should actually go mad over this

although through experience after the first two days here of selling the collection if theres anything left they pack it up and ship it to london, or atleast that happened with the V+R stuff here.

i really like the mens trench.

 

[alejandropa89]

I totally hated the collaboration with Vuitton on their aniversary in Tokyo

 

[mishahoi]

wow...very goth loli. The jacket with rounded back is great though! And the spotted shirts...I`m pleasantly surprised!

 

[Scott]

oh it's very cool actually! not that one doesn't expect rei to go into anything completely lacking in cdg aesthetics.

i like that first look rather much. and the frilled shirts are adorable as is the tail-jacket and the polka-dot pieces.

does anybody know the availability of the range yet? meaning,will the line be available in all the main flagships???

 

[MulletProof]

so many gorgeous pieces.. that first dress in particular.. very F/W 06.07.. I'm so thrilled I want to see it already, gah.

*ETA: second that question, scott, I'd really like to know if this will be available in all the stores.. or just the 'big' ones.. I really need to know where to head.

 

[ms-nietzsche]

I need to get my hands on some of those pants

 

[dothewhirlwind]

i'd imagine it would be like all capsules and have the full collection in the flagships, and a few pieces in the other stores.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

wait sorry for asking but whens the exact date it should be released?

 

[gius]

there are a lot of cute pieces here
it seems like a lot would be geared towards girl's wear.. i hope the boy's clothes will also have some fun quirks in them, maybe even from the womenswear

it's interesting it's not super-casual no ???
i mean they are all dress shirts really
it's wonderful to dress up a little more

i agree with misahoi on the gosu-rori

 

[JuiceMajor]

i am so getting the first dress...is like an art....

 

[BerlinRocks]

when is this out ?
> ok it's on the page before ..... early nov. 2008 ....
sorry to bump like that, when everyone else knows already this....
and i third the question of scott and mullet ....

 

[La bordélique]

I hope this collection comes out in one of the H&M's in my city. Polka dotted shirts? I was wondering how I would style those... the overview of this collection is giving me a few ideas now. I like how it looks very Japanese though I don't think it would appeal to the masses here, maybe it's too androgynous... I'm not sure... secretly I'm just hoping all will be left for me.

anywho, my take: i LOVE it. I set my hopes a notch below high, and am not disappointed at all. I looks like a lot of the line will be unisex. Loves it.

No, every year H&M decreases the amount of stores the designer collections are in. i think the collection will be out in a lot of japanese stores but NOT in a lot of american ones. last year cavalli was only in FIVE american stores. maybe this year only 3 or 4 will have CDG.

it wont be out in all the flagships.
