Roberto Cavalli for H&M

WHOA. I was taken OFF GUARD when I read this. This can go 50/50. I am waiting to see the proof...
 
This is soooo... strange :shock:

Ohhh... and that animal prints on the background scared me too :ninja:

But I want to be an optimistic :blush: Coz I like more than that 2 outfit from his SS collection that were posted early
 
i just got the email press release and it COMPLETELY caught me off guard. :shock: why the hell did they decide to collaborate with cavalli??? prada or especially marc jacobs would have been SO MUCH BETTER. let's hope we all get surprised in a good way by this when the collection actually releases.
 
Finally, an H&M/designer collaboration the Flavor of Love girls can wear :rolleyes:
 
Unlike us men you women shouldn't be dissapointed becasue your collection might turn out to be fantastic since Cavalli is a master at creating beautiful dresses for celebs.
 
we should wait to see the pictures... cavalli probably knows better than to make trash for the general public... it would really ruin his image for his high-end customers. i'm sure this collection will be somewhat subdued with hints of opulence and glamour... i'm kinda excited!
 
As soon as I saw this thread I literally shouted! This is so very unexpected, such a big brand like Cavalli for H&M?!?!
 
Im so excited to see this collection what cities in the usa are going to get the full collection (menswear)
 
Oh great, I'm going to see even more animal prints at H&M now. :rolleyes:

I'm still curious to see what he comes up with though.
 
Roberto Cavalli to design H&M collection

Roberto Cavalli is set to be the latest designer to create a collection for Swedish clothing giant H&M, he announced Wednesday, following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney.

The Italian will create 25 pieces for women, mainly evening wear, and 20 for men, as well as accessories and lingerie. They will be available in about 200 shops from November 8.

"I hope that on December 8 there will be nothing left in the shops! I am very flattered to be the first Italian chosen by H&M," Cavalli said from the Pitti Uomo fashion fair in Florence, according to Italy's Ansa news agency.

"It is true that our creations are closer to haute couture, but I thought of all the young people who stopped me in the street, and I thought I could finally make them happy," he said.

"I have dedicated this collection to young people, who will be able to wear a Cavalli piece of clothing for the New Year."

Margareta Van Den Bosch of H&M said the most expensive items would be about 150 euros (200 dollars).

In 2004, the Hennes Mauritz group asked Lagerfeld, the designer for the Chanel fashion house, to create a collection for them. He was followed by British designer McCartney in 2005, designers Viktor and Rolf in 2006 and the singer Madonna in spring this year.

Created in 1947, H&M now has 1,345 shops in 24 countries.

Meanwhile, Cavalli, whose business recorded a turnover of seven billion euros last year, said he was considering "taking on an associate so we could be quoted on the stock exchange".

His wife Eva, who works alongside the designer, added: "We are currently in discussion with fashion groups and investment funds. We will need at least a year because these are decisions that need to be taken carefully."

I was just about to post this...

I'm not sure if I like the idea of him doing mostly eveningwear though. I want things I could wear normally.
 
well i never saw this coming and he's not the first designer i'd pick really, but i'm really interested to see what he comes up with.
 
I don't like Roberto Cavalli at all, but like someone said it might be subdued.

I don't think that Marc Jacobs would ever do something like this, even though it would turn out good. He's already got Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, and MbMJ. I wouldn't take on any extra projects if I were him.
