Comme for H&M - A Sneak Peak

comme for hm small.jpgSo we got a sneak peak of the September W, and it contains a bit of news about Comme des Garcons’ line for H&M (screen shot at left) -

1. No kids’ stuff. H&M says, “We wanted something for kids, but she [Rei] didn’t feel like it, so we didn’t.”

2. The line is, “mostly black and with Japanese tomboy airs, the H&M collection includes a range of tailored jackets, many deconstructed, along with cropped pants, baggy shorts and a variety of skirts in stretch wool. On the perkier side are polkadot knits in jersey or merino wool, colorful shirts - some with dots - and a “showpiece” coat-dress decorated here and there with dense Victorian ruffles.”

3. There’ll also be a unisex perfume with notes of cedar and patchouli.

The issue doesn’t hit stands until the 19th, so you’ll have to wait to read the rest yourself. Until then, rest knowing there will be no Comme kicks for little babes after all.

scans of the entire collection leaked. i'm not sure where they came from originally, but i found them on another blog and then blogged about them myself here:

though the pictures above are far more flattering than the flat scans.

Will this just be available in limited quantities in major cities like the previous collaborations with H&M? Because then I'm not that excited... I'd rather they did a more Target-style thing.

I don't know how I feel

this looks very un-avant garde from the pictures

I guess we will have to wait a little longer to find out

Not impressed with the line, but it sounds like I may like the fragrance.

I'm kind of excited, but the pictures don't look like something I would jump for.
