    Rei Kawakubo for H&M

    from WWD

    H&M Links With Rei Kawakubo


    Published: Thursday, April 03, 2008
    By Miles Socha

    PARIS ? For its next designer collaboration, H&M is trying on something avant-garde for size and teaming up with Japanese fashion maverick Rei Kawakubo.

    A one-time Comme des Garçons for H&M collection is slated to launch in early November as the Swedish fast-fashion giant opens its first stores in Japan: a 10,000-square-foot unit in Tokyo?s Ginza district and a 16,000-square-foot location in hyper-trendy Harajuku. An international rollout will follow.

    Kawakubo ? acclaimed for a fearless, experimental approach to fashion ? will design H&M fashions for women, men and children, as well as accessories and a unisex fragrance.

    H&M has sparked shopping frenzies for its annual designer collaborations with the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Stella McCartney, Viktor & Rolf and Karl Lagerfeld.

              I think I managed to leave out about three words the first time, making the sentence into an un-double negative. I think I've gotten my point across this time.

                        They did a fragrance with the Lagerfeld collaboration, whether it was any good or not I have no clue...

                          I have a feeling Raf Simons for H&M isn't too far into the future...

                            I think it would be genius for H&M to re-introduce a certain mister Hedi Slimane!

                              Hmm...i remember having a discussion about that idea back when Hedi was still at Dior. I don't think it'd work...if it came out it might be a rehash of his latter indie rock themed collections with a lot of casualwear that isn't much different from what H&M puts out already. And no way can one reproduce Hedi's tailoring and finish at that kind of budget, so it'd probably be what Karl Lagerfeld already did for them.
