[Scott]

^no boston,you don't think?

i'm certain per as usual at least one NYC store will have it. maybe san fran and l.a.??

 

[snowqueen]

Love it !!!! im hoping my city gets it.. we have a few h&m's so hopefully at least one will.. isnt they normally out the thirda thursday of november or have i just totaly imagined that haha

I can't really see the number (maybe 15?) but the two-toned asymmetrical long-sleeved top in the 4th picture looks exactly like this Marc by Marc Jacobs top.

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.

Please let SF have it

CDG doesn't really fit LA's aesthete

 

[aldn]

AH!!! Better be at the beverly center... I will die if it isn't.

 

[JuiceMajor]

i hope we get it here in Leeds

its probably going to be same proceedure as always in the Scandinavian stores, H&M being Swedish.. the Nordic countries are favored..
I don't recall with any of the collections that there should have been a reduction in the number of stores that carried it.

^ my locla store has carrried them all bar viktor and rolf i got told that they were reducing the ammount of stores to keep it more elite and stop ebay mongrals

I'm so excited for this collaboration! I simply cannot wait to see what is to come.

well, where do you think marc gets his ideas?

That particular piece looks like the knits that Junya did last fall...

 

[lastyearsdream]

OH MY GOD THAT DRESS. NEED. i sincerely hope the ebay vultures don't buy them all up at the nyc flagship... *weak hope*

Haha that's so trueB)

 

[Casualuxury]

I dunno, I think that the whole CDG universe is more about the message behind the clothes rather than actual aesthetics, these clothes just look like same old H&M stuff. Kinda boring, and kinda trite. But whatevs, I still have respect for Rei, Junya, Tao, and whoever else they have on staff now.

I respect CDG, but I don't know enough about it so I don't wear it. I feel that if I were to wear it, it would be disrespectful.

it's good!

 

[nqth]

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

I also like the tail jkt Scott, and the biker jkt as well. I have heard that the most expensive stuff would cost around 450 euros.

 

[BerlinRocks]

^insane ... the price are going higher higher every season ....
does someone know if the quality is better when it's something designed for their special couturier collections ?
never bought anything yet from those collections ...
it was bad until now for men ....

 

[Scott]

wow 450....but i suppose one can imagine that since obviously this will be a bit more exclusive than the prior designer collections. and judging by that first look posted,there does seem to be more a design element in certain items than some of the others. and perhaps,that might be a good thing for genuine fans too....maybe there won't be such an overwhelming rush as in the past with these designer endeavours.

btw,somebody had mentioned TAO.....that's what this reminds me of,actually. all the shirting elements she did so impeccably.

 

[markie]

i love the coats, especially the tail coat and the trench. there's no H&M here around me, so i'll have to have a friend buy for me. mmm

I'd like to know as well. As much as I want some of the pieces if the quality is on par with H&M's usual stuff it's kind of not worth it at the price

I'm only intrigued by the first dress, and I still would want to see it in person to justify the soaring prices this collection will surely have.
