This autumn looks set to kick off in iconic style with shoe designer to the stars Jimmy Choo bringing his much adored talents to high street retailer H&M. Offering both men’s and women’s accessories and clothing, the collection will be available from Saturday 14th November in around 200 H&M stores across the world. According to Tamara Mellon, founder and president of Jimmy Choo, the designer “will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out at night.”
Check out this brand new trippy-tastic TV commercial for Matthew Williamson’s recently launched summer collection for H&M. Watch for Williamson’s starring role at the end. We love it (especially the soundtrack).
The fashion pack will be in sartorial heaven when Matthew Williamson’s H&M collection launches on 23rd April. By the looks of these preview pics - as seen in Vogue’s April issue - the designer’s iconic and oh so covetable pieces are bound to fly off the rails.
StyleJunkee is super super super excited about 2009 and for three stonkingly good reasons - Chalayan, Williamson and Chanel:
1) Hussein Chalayan (that’s MBE, twice-crowned British Designer of the Year Hussein Chalayan)’s Design Museum Retrospective (from 22 January). A fashion and style lover’s must-do.
2) The April launch of Matthew Williamson (Red Carpet Designer of the Year)’s capsule collection for high-street fave H&M. Somehow we just know that spring/summer is going to be one long festival of colour and floaty hippy-chic.
3) The upcoming release of not just one but two Chanel biopics. Coco Avant Chanel, starring the very lovely Audrey Tautou and focusing on Coco’s early life… and William Friedkin’s Coco & Igor, about the designer’s relationship with Stravinsky.
Here at StyleJunkee we’re mega excited about the forthcoming launch of H&M’s Comme des Garcons collection. The Japanese label is usually known for kooky cuts and shapes, but they’ve obviously tamed things down a little for the high street, and the outcome is totally wearable. Featuring clothing for men, women and children, as well as accessories and a unisex fragrance, fashionista can expect elaborate tailoring, knits and fitted shirts. Oh… and actress Katie Holmes has already been pictured wearing key pieces, so, if A-list approval is what you’re after, look no further. Prices from £14.99, available at H&M from Thursday 13 November.
