The first looks of the ex-Pucci designer’s upcoming H&M collection came out some time ago and I must say I am IN. Blast me with that royal blue, the preen-like power dress and the dare to bare all around colorful ensembles. I’ve starting receiving way too many goth references lately so it’s officially time to step up the color game. Giddy up. Beware fellow H&M shoppers, April 23rd the dukes come out.
Matthew Williamson has left no time for rest since his September departure from Pucci. To our pleasure, in addition to focusing on his signature brand, he will also bring his bright and expressive London style to H&M for two collaboration collections. The first, scheduled for a April 23rd release, will be an exclusive women’s line; the second, available in mid-May will include a more diverse lineup of women and men’s separates, just in time for summer.
Might Nylon have uncovered the first images of the Comme Des Garçons line for H&M? We’ll soon find out!

Upon further investigation, it seems the above images are from H&M’s Fall 2008 campaign. Despite this, my excitement has not dwindled. Hot Hot Hot!
H&M is apparently bat-shit crazy during designer releases. The staff wants to kill you and the ladies aren’t afraid to elbow you sans apologies. I’ll take my chances.
Here’s a sneak peak in sketch form of the Roberto Cavalli line, expected to drop November 8, 2007 in 200 selected stores. I hope that includes Toronto.
