Everyone’s talking about H&M...

There are many other websites mentioning about the collaboration with H&M and Comme des Garcon since April.

Here is a little gist. This fall (November 2008), the Comme des Garcon line will join the list of past contributing collaborators such as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Victor and Rolf. The Comme des Garcon collection will release to the public limited to certain cities.

I doubt I have to elaborate any further…as many other great websites have already mentioned about the arrival of the collection. Here are a few website to mention:

That's Chic: Raych’s has her personal observations about the collection that contains the photos that has leaked out. http://thatschic.blogspot.com/2008/08/collaboration-between-h-and-cdg.html

Fastionista: The sneak peek from ‘W’ magazine (issue will be out on the 19th of August (in the US) with comments from designer Rei Kawakubo. http://fashionista.com/2008/08/comme_for_hm_-_a_sneak_peak.php

Selectism.com: The website provides better views (or for my case better loading time) of the garments. http://www.selectism.com/posts/archive/2008/august/15/comme_des_garcon_for_hm/index.htm

Respectfully Yours: Some opinion about what is seen from the photo leaks of the H&M collection wondering: ‘when looking at comme de garcons' fall 2008 ready-to-wear, i can't help but wonder - what happened?’ http://ryours.blogspot.com/2008/08/comme-de-garcons-for-h.html

Style Bubble: Some comment and what outfit Susie has her eyes on. http://stylebubble.typepad.com/style_bubble/2008/08/you-go-away-for.html


What's my opinion?

I’m a little skeptical about this men’s wear outfit…is it just me or does this look like it came from a sleep wear set?

The styling element of this ensemble catches my eyes. At least the polka dots aren’t as dull as the men’s ensemble mentioned. Perhaps I like it because of the way the scarf is tied around the neck.

I have my eyes on these two jackets. I like the way the shapes and asymmetrical proportion is played around (left) and the placement of the zip (right). However I’m pretty sure I will not be able to get it since there is no H&M in Singapore. Oh well… wishful thinking! Ha ha!
