A Diva State of Mind

Earlier this year it was announced that Isabel Marant would be teaming up with H&M for a collection to be released November 14, 2013. Well it’s time to get excited folks! Photos from the collection have been released; you can now view 50+ pictures from the lookbook. Below are a few of my favorite pieces from the collection.

 

Visit vogue.co.uk to view the entire collection.

So who’s waiting in line on November 14th to get their hands on a few pieces?!

It took a LONG time, but we can now shop online at H&M!! The retailer is offering a wide range of clothing and accessories for men, women, teens, children and plus size. There will also be additional sizes and exclusive “online-only” items available all year round.

I like H&M, but depending on which store you visit, it can be too crowded (F Street NW in DC on a Thursday or Friday) or too messy (F Street NW in DC on a Thursday or Friday). Online shopping makes things so much easier and more convenient. You may want to purchase a pair of printed pants, but just don’t have the time to go to a store. Now ordering is one click away!

For those in need of home decor, the H&M Home Collection is also available exclusively online. The collection includes towels, bed linens, curtains, and other home textiles and accessories in trendy colors and prints.

“We are thrilled to launch online shopping in the U.S.,” says Daniel Kulle, U.S. President for H&M. “This significant milestone fully rounds out H&M’s multichannel offering.  Along with close to 300 stores, our U.S. customers will now have twenty four hour access to the best of our fashion and home collections via their computers, smartphones, and tablets from anywhere in the U.S.”

Yep, you can download the H&M app! Sign up for the newsletter HERE to receive coupons and free shipping.

H&M will also offer exclusive online pre-shopping of its Paris Show Collection.  Presented first on the runway during Paris Fashion Week, this collection will debut globally in approximately 200 stores and online September 5th. U.S. customers will have the opportunity to be the first to shop the collection online August 22nd.

So who will be spending time today, while you’re at work, checking out H&M Online? Don’t worry, I won’t tell!

It’s time to get excited about another collaboration!

French designer Isabel Marant, who is responible for making wedge sneakers popular, is teaming up with H&M for a designer collaboration scheduled to hit stores November 14, 2013. The collection will feature clothing and accessories for teenagers, women and men. For H&M, Marant will create a collection of must-have pieces inspired by her signature style: urban attitude, boho elegance mixed with a rock n’roll spirit.

About the collaboration, Marant says:

“I am flattered by this collaboration. H&M works with the best designers, and this invitation is an exciting honor. I aim at creating something real – something women want to wear in their everyday lives – with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: You dress up, but don’t pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be combined following one’s own instincts, and my take on fashion is all about personality.”

I haven’t shopped most designer collections up until this point, but this is one I may be in line outside H&M on F street for in November!

What do you think of the new collaboration?

The legendary Fashion Director and style icon Anna Dello Russo has teamed up with H&M for her own Anna Dello Russo at H&M accessories collection.   In true Anna style, the collection is full of fun and bold statement pieces that you can use to easily elevate a look.   The collection includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces, clutches, shoes and sunglasses.

The collection will be available in select stores on Thursday, October 4th.  My favorite pieces from the collection are the bracelets and a coral and gold statement necklace (not shown above but listed online).  For more information about pieces from the collection, click HERE.

Considering how excited I was in June when I heard about Versace teaming up with H&M, I completely forgot the collection was going to be in stores next month! I guess I should’ve marked my calendar when I did a blog post about the new collaboration.

As it gets closer to the November 17th launch date, pictures are beginning in appear in editorials of the Versace for H&M collection. Check out pictures from Vogue Russia and ELLE UK below.

H&M is at it again! After much success with the exclusive Lanvin Collection for H&M, the major retailer is teaming up with Versace for an exclusive collection made of 40 women’s pieces, 20 men’s pieces and a collection of high fashion accessories, all at H&M prices!

According to H&M Creative Advisor “Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and extraordinary, everything Versace stands for. Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and is perfect for the festive season.”

The collection will launch November 17th and will be available in 300 H&M stores. Versace is also launching a Pre-Spring 2012 collection, available January 19, 2012.

High end fashion at affordable prices available for the masses, LOVE IT!!! Check out a few looks and video of Donatella Versace and H&M Creative Advisor discussing the new collection below:

 

You already know the line outside a H&M store is going to be ridiculous once the collection is launched! I must admit, for this collection, I may be one of the many out there eagerly waiting for the doors to open on November 17th.  Who wants to join me?!

Clearly I need to make a trip to H&M because I am loving the new Spring 2011 looks modeled by the fabulous Gisele Bundchen. She looks gorgeous rocking some of this season’s hottest trends (lace, wide leg pants, florals and wedges).

Designer collaborations are becoming very popular these days. One of the most memorable collaborations this year was the Lanvin for H&M Collection. That collection boosted H&M sales by 8%!!
 
With that type of success, I can understand why mainstream retailers and designers are joining forces. The next duo to release a collection is William Rast and Target. That’s right, William Rast, the clothing line started by Justin Target Timberlake and Trace Ayala in 2005, is teaming up with Target for an exclusive collection that will debut in Target stores December 19th through January 22, 2011; just in time for the holidays. Prices range from $17 to $200.
 
The collection is inspired by classic American style, featuring jeans, tees, button ups and a gorgeous camel leather jacket I think needs to be added to my wardrobe; I love the color!! 

Below are pictures from the lookbook; you can expect to see these items in stores this weekend!   
 

 

 

Will you be shopping at Target to get your hands on the new William Rast Collection? After all, I’m sure many of you will have Target gift cards you’ll need to use after December 25th!

This week fashion lovers flocked to the Pierre Hotel in New York City for an up-close look at the Lanvin for H&M Collection. 

The show looks like it was amazing (I’ll make it to New York for fashion shows one day!).  It was fun, flirty and eclectic.  Full with florals, animal prints and pearls, it definitely looks like high fashion!  What’s great is that H&M has brought high fashion to us all, so there isn’t any reason we can’t all look like a million bucks without actually spending that much.

Looks like I’ll have to take trips to H&M more often!  Check out pictures from the fashion show below. What are some of your favorite looks?
