i just realized that the 350$ dress has long sleeves. STILL not worth it.

awesome, lucy. thanks for posting. I doubt I'd buy the ruffled dress, it's beautiful but I really don't see myself wearing it, though maybe I should make my debut in that visual-pleasure kind of purchases!.
Reading all the anticipation makes me so nervous tbh , I can't stop imagining the place packed with aggressive shoppers.. I don't do well around them.

 

[lucy92]

some prices.
the wool velvet dress with the scalloped hem is $129.90 and the womens trench coat is 199$.

The prices seem a bit excessive to me for a designer collab. I also read an interview with Rei Kawakubo in Elle UK and she didn't give much info away. I'm hoping to get a jacket [anyone know what price range this willl be in? I only want to spend about $100 on it... Also the 2 tone sweater and navy polka dot shirt.
I'm thinking about some of those infamous drop crotch pants but I don't see myself having the confidence to wear them!

more editorials are begining to pop up. this from is from apple daily via http://www.nitrolicious.com

quijano, if you are buying the black ruffle coat it costs HK$3,490.

Thanks for the info Lucy Do you have the complete price list of H&M Hong Kong for the CDG collection?

Will check out the collection in Manchester. Bet will be busy. Although to be honest comme doesn't seem very popular in Manchester as nearest place to buy the mainline stuff is usually in DSM or Pollyanna in Barnsley. Just hope it's not full of the dreaded ebay resellers. would not pay over the odds for the stuff as would rather pay a bit extra and get the mainline collection stuff.

BerlinRocks- does casaco mean coat or shirt? thanks

 

[John W]

Casaco means cloak in portuguese

 

[loverunway]

Thank you that's a relief! It's not actually a bad price.

The Canadian prices for women's line...
They're about the same as US I think, since the dress is 349$.
