A little reminder that the First Part of the Matthew Williamson collection for H&M hits the stores today, for a change from JCrew.
I always liked Matthew Williamson prints and boho style and I was thrilled to learn about his collaboration with H&M. However, I hadn't really marked this date on my calendar as I feel too old for standing for hours in line waiting for a store opening with teens and fashionistas alike, but I happened to walk by the Fifth Avenue (Uptwon) store yesterday and the main pieces of the new collection were already up in the windows. Looking doesn't hurt, right?
My favorite piece from this collection is the yellow and blue sequined dress that is on sale for $249 (sorry, I couldn't grab the pic but it's viewable on the H&M website, and it's the eight item from the left in the collection). The execution looks beautiful, but I think it's a little bit pricey for H&M. Anyway, I would never buy it because I wouldn't know where to go dressed like that. Pool party, anyone? It looks like this first part is an even more limited edition made of few outstanding pieces for party-goers, while the "summer collection" (in all the stores on My 14th) will be more affordable and maybe more wearable.
Do you plan to check this collection out? Do you own an H&M item from a "designer collection"?
I didn't realize they were queuing up for the release. I saw some of the pieces yesterday. They're very special. Much more exciting than Madonna's collection. One of the SAs told me the next release will have more basics. The current release was definitely a nice, splashy way to kick things off.
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw the ad of the next release with a cool swimming suit, I would check it out but it will go on sale the day of my daughter's bday (May 14th) so I will see if there is anything left afterwards.
