Comme Des Garcons for H&M

As most of you might already know by now the much anticipated, yet as of now dreaded by some, collaboration by Comme Des Garcons and H&M is due to come out this November.

I am fairly excited about it myself, though I am well aware of and appreciate what others think. Some say that Rei Kawakubo lost some of herself in this collection because of the translation of her deconstructive style into a mainstream market. I think that those people think too much ... this really is not so serious.

Now, that's not to say that I don't know that some of the mainstream market customers won't understand the collection therefore won't buy it, but I do believe that there are people out there that will appreciate something a little different from what they are use too ... something that they don't have to pay an arm and a leg for that is.











All in all I think that it's a fine idea, and a fine collaboration as well. I like what I've seen so far and I really do think that it'll be a hit, of sorts, when it arrives in stores a short while from now. H&M has always been loyal about bringing us relatively decent knock-off designer fashions, so buying something from them that a designer has actually touched can't be all wrong.

Me? I'm going for the polka dots and the blazers. What do you think?
