According to H&M:
1. No kids’ stuff. H&M says, “We wanted something for kids, but she [Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons designer] didn’t feel like it, so we didn’t.”
2. The line is, “mostly black and with Japanese tomboy airs, the H&M collection includes a range of tailored jackets, many deconstructed, along with cropped pants, baggy shorts and a variety of skirts in stretch wool. On the perkier side are polkadot knits in jersey or merino wool, colorful shirts – some with dots – and a “showpiece” coat-dress decorated here and there with dense Victorian ruffles.”
3. There’ll also be a unisex perfume with notes of cedar and patchouli.
The collection has so far failed to muster much online enthusiasm, and I can clearly see why. Comme des Garçon’s avant garde, edgy stylings have been completely watered down, to the point where this has become quite a blah offer. Maybe the remaining collection will bring something new and exciting.
