Collaborations: Rei Kawakubo for H&M

How excited and surprised I was to find out last week that Rei Kawakubo is working with H&M -Hennes and Mauritz- to create a Commes Des Garcons collection that will debut in stores in November! The line will first premiere in Tokyo, where H&M will be opening its first stores this fall. Rei Kawakubo will be designing not only womenswear - as her guest designing predecessors: Karl Lagerfeld, Victor and Rolf, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli have done- but also menswear and children's wear, as well as accessories and an unisex fragrance. I can't wait to see snatch up some avant garde pieces for my goddaughter and load up on stuff for myself..to finally be able to afford Commes, how lovely.
