COUNTDOWN TO KENZO X H&M

Shop the entire collection here

Another year, another H&M designer collaboration. I'm headed to the pre-launch party tonight to see the collection first off for myself. Check out last year's pre-launch party for H&M x Balmain.

See you on Snapchat for the live action ;)

LA REDOUTE x CORALIE MARABELLE x CHRISTINE PHUNG x ETIENNE DEROEUX

It's been a while since I've done a lookbook post or simply posted pictures of a collection I liked in a kind of an inspiration. Amidst my fashion week diaries I wanted to take a minute and share a special designer collaboration and images of 3 lookbooks with you guys.
Special because it is a collaboration between a giant and three new faces on the horizon of fashion. The french fashion house giant La Redoute known for fashion from shorts to evening robes, has teamed up to support three up and coming fashion talents in a designer collaboration highlighting these young creatives - Coralie Marabelle, Christine Phung and Etienne Deroeux for A/W 2015 collection.
I love seeing big houses collaborating and supporting young designers. It's one of the most refreshing things seeing a new designer at fashion week and thinking about whats next for them. Now they are out in the open, what will they create next? Now that they have the resources and exposure, what will they make? Anyway I very much liked the capsule collections and the lookbooks, which is why I had to share.

K1X x PATRICK MOHR MK4 DCAC SNEAKER LAUNCH PARTY

Last Friday. K1X x Patrick Mohr MK4 DCAC. K1X released one of the hottest sneakers in collaboration with designer Patrick Mohr bringing the 4th installment of their ongoing partnership to the market. The MK4 sneakers are made of premium suede and come in super vibrant red, orange or yellow all covered with Patrick Mohr's signature triangle look as detail. I'm dying for those all red kicks. Believe me when I say they're fly as fuck. Need them. Haven't been so head over heels for a pair of sneaker for a while. Those all white Air Max I recently posted on Instagram are amazing and all but these red kicks are a keeper and they got me trippin'.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA x H&M

It feels like H&M is having cooperations after cooperations after cooperations. We barely had time to digest the Anna Dello Russo collection (which I really didn't like), news were already out that MMM was working on a collection with H&M.  After seeing the posters I was really excited to have a closer look at the collection and when I had the chance to come have a look first hand at the collection last week at the H&M Showroom I knew I wasn't going to miss out.



I'm mostly into the shoes for this collection. Although I have to admit I'm majorly crushing on the oversized coat that seems to be the collection's It piece and Must Have. I'm really into the big silhouette Maison Martin Margiela has created for this piece. But unfortunately it comes in only one size and with my 1 1/2 metres, I'm kidding I'm 159, I'm pretty lost in that coat. Sadly..
I like the way Maison Martin Margiela is reinventing silhouettes and shapes. And along with the blue silk dress my favourite piece are the disco pants. But I'd invest solely in the shoes with the plexiglass heels. Ah those are devine!

The collection hits the stores in less than 24 hours. Some of you wanna set your alarm clocks for tomorrow.
I've got my eyes set on the shoes. All the shoes. Those ankle boots with the plexiglass, the boots and even the heels. Even the Men's sneakers. With my newly acquired fortune it's dangerous.. I'm exposed to a high threat of "spend it all"-aholic
Very Dangerous!
I for one will be majorly avoiding H&M in the next couple of days in attempt to save for a new dslr camera. I'm so close! I cannot let a pair of Margiela's for H&M bring me down. Not even those with the beautiful wine red leather and the see-through plexiglass.
I can already picture myself singing "Easy come, easy go.." to my money as I stand at the cash register and let the cashier scan my credit card. I thank God that my Paypal account hasn't been verified yet. I would've turned into one broke ass nigga over night from the excess amount of online shopping I was doing at the Asos sale last night, which thankfully remained purely window shopping.

Good Night. I'll try not to dream about the Margiela x H&M shoes..

PS.:Wow I really sound like a chick straight from shopaholic when it's really not that bad. I'm simply enjoying using a stylistic device named "purple prose" i.e. putting drama where there's no drama. I'm so getting full marks on my next English creative writing paper! ;) Just kidding. I'm doing everything not to run into H&M first thing tomorrow. Maybe I should icebox my credit card?

PPS: Went to the showroom only with my iPhone, so check out my Showroom fun on Instagram!

MARNI FOR H&M - THE COLLECTION AND MY FAVOURITES

In loooooove! I'm not gonna lie to you, I was definitely anticipating more sneak peaks at H&M's Marni collaboration the closer it got to the releasing date, but I certainly wasn't expecting to like it this much. I was more on the look out for the accessoires, especially the necklaces. And they did not let me down, although these are not the usual Marni necklaces as I was expecting.

•••

Verlieeeeebbt! Ich werde euch nicht anlügen, ich habe schon heiß darauf gewartet, ein paar Blicke auf H&M's Marni Kollaboration zu erhaschen, um so näher es dem Erscheinungsdatum kam, aber ich habe sicherlich nicht erwartet die Kollektion so sehr zu mögen. Besonders weil ich es eh nur auf die Accesoires abgesehen hatte, vor allem die Ketten. Und ich bin nicht enttäuscht, auch wenn es nicht die Marni Ketten sind, die ich erwartet hatte.

MARNI FOR H&M

And so after Versace comes Marni? Uh la la!

When I think of Marni, the first thing that comes to my mind are the perfect necklaces to make a statement. I love their jewelry and the fact that they might be available at H&M make me beyond excited!

The collection will probably be all about graphic and prints, patterns and color.

I'm expecting pretty necklaces. That's one thing I love about Marni. Their necklaces!

Collection hits stores March 8th 2012.

What's your first impression?

•••

Nach Versace kommt also Marni? Uh la la!

Wenn ich an Marni denke, ist das Erste, dass mir in den Sinn kommt, perfekten Ketten, um ein Statement zu machen. Ich liebe Marnis Schmuck und dass dies bald bei H&M erhältlich sein wird, macht mich unglaublich aufgeregt!

Die Kollektion selbst wird wahrscheinlich viel Muster und Farben haben.

Ich erwarte schöne Ketten. Das ist halt die Sache, die ich an Marni liebe. Deren Ketten!

Kollektion wird am 8. März 2012 erhältlich sein.

Was sind eure ersten Eindrücke?
