I'm quite anticipating the upcoming COMME des GARCONS for H&M collaboration, Rei Kawakubo will design a women’s and a men’s collection, there will also be accessories and an exclusive unisex fragrance
will also be included in the collection. The world launch of the
collection will be at the opening of H&M’s second store in Tokyo,
Japan, on November 8th. Launch date for other H&M
markets will be on November 13th.
“I have always been interested in the balance between creation and
business. It is a dilemma, although for me creation has always been the
first priority. It is a fascinating challenge to work with H&M
since it is a chance to take the dilemma to its extreme, and try to
solve it”, says Rei Kawakubo, COMME des GARÇONS.
The collection consists of both
women’s and men’s and is clearly very Japanese and stays true to Rei
Kawakubo’s avant-garde style. Come November, I’m sure all Rei
Kawakubo/COMME des GARCONS fans will invade H&M. I’m hoping I will be able get
a piece or two- lots of polka dots, the black lolita goth dress is
quite interesting, the details are amazing and jackets are all great.
They even made the female models look like Rei Kawakubo, how cute- I
love it! Check out the men's preview here. What are your thoughts?
