Hello people of impeccable taste,
Something tres exciting is happening this Thursday.
The Comme des Garcons x H&M collection hits stores worldwide.
Yes, we are all very excited, especially Monteith, who is attending the pre-launch viewing at the Regent St. store on Wednesday evening. (Hosted by Vogue and GQ for readers). She will be purchasing the £70 dress she's been harping on about for weeks. Bank account willing.
This is the dress everyone else is after:
We guess it's the natural choice for Kawakubo fans, it has the essence of Comme, but at £200 it's a tad pricey; I mean if I'm gonna spend two hundred quid on Comme, it ain't gonna be carried out in an H&M bag, right? Not when you can pop on over to Dover Street Market.
Still, nice though ain't it?
Anyway, back to the collection. We like it. There's enough signature Comme features to please; wool suits, polka dots and disjointed tailoring galore. But is it for the average H&M customer?
Hmm the thing is, the previous collaborations - Lagerfeld, McCartney, Cavalli et al - have all had very mainstream aesthetics (think Cavalli's leopard print maxi) and subsequently sold like hot cakes. Will it be the same for Kawakubo's collection? Outside the Fash Pack and design students, how many 'normals' (as we affectionately call them) know Comme des Garcons? And, more importantly, will they appreciate the design genius of it?
Of course it'll sell out. It's Comme for fuck sake. LCF students'll be tearing each others lumberjack shirts off to get their hands on the stuff. But that kind of defeats the object of the 'collaboration' and bringing the brand to the masses, no? Our group of 'normals' don't give a shit about 'that Ray kawoookub woman', despite our insistance and admirable efforts of persuasion.
Ahh...who cares. The polka dot cardigans will sell at least.
GIVE IT TO US!
Love you, Miss you.
P.s: YES PLEASE SANTA........
(they're only £975, but you're elves can fix
them right up for me, can't they? I've been
good, I promise.)
Christian Louboutin - bit bored of rred underheel now, but worth it for the heel height - ain't gonna find them on the highstreet....
