Brace yourselves indies, this may very well be the best new you’ll hear all day week month year! Jimmy Choo is slated to launch a collection of shoes, bags, accessories and a clothing line, for both men and women, due on store shelves November 14th! Oh, H&M, just when I thought you failed with the shoddy Matthew Williamson collection, you totally redeem yourself for this coming holiday season! 

Thanks NY Mag!

I definitely wasn’t the biggest fan of the Matthew Williamson for H&M collection, but moreover, I’m not a fan of the commercials. To promote his summer diffusion line, Williamson let pink ponies, neon astroids, shoddy electronic music and poorly dubbed voices do his selling. This commercial is in no way representative of who Williamson is as designer and is obviously the doing of H&M, attempting to cater to the stimulus hungry American population. 

Things learned from this commercial: If an astroid hits, Matthew Williamson will appear. Rolling around in runoff ground water is not sexy. The diffusion line is still ugly.

Thanks NY Mag!

With the Matthew Williamson for H&M completely ransacked last week, It’s safe to assume that customers want more, more, more. Come May 14th, not only will there be the collab’s summer collection, it will debut many of the men’s pieces. But don’t be fooled boys, Williamson’s menswear is just as vomit-inducing, expensive and gaudy as those awful dresses people went ga-ga over. While the studded bomber jacket and tan sear-sucker suit have potential, I find it hard to believe that either pieces will be of substantial quality to even be impressive. In addition, the pixel prints, rainbow trimmed jackets, zip-ups and scarves are far too feminine for any guy. Oh, and anyone else pick up on the guido vibe? All in all boys, here’s a collection I’d steer clear of…unless of course, tasteless brights are your thing.
