H&M best designer collaborations ever
From Karl Lagerfeld to Balmain
November 4th, 2015
It lands tomorrow in selected H&M stores all over the world the capsule collection designed by the team of the Swedish brand in collaboration with Balmain. The images of the collection have already been unveiled, and reflect completely the style of the Parisian house: structured shoulders with an '80s allure, intense colours, copious brush strokes of gold and of course studs and sequins. A line dedicated to a showed off femininity, the latest in chronological order of a long series of annual partnerships between the fast fashion giant and the most renewed luxury brands.
While we wait for tomorrow's official launch, we retrace the most significant collaborations of the past decade, celebrated last year with a dedicated volume: The first 10 years. A title which makes us suppose there will much more. Who do you bet on for 2016?
