JKISSI: H&M’s plan definitely worked the much hyped collaboration is still going strong.  People are still going wild for the CDG X H&M collaboration coming up, it’s release date is November 13, 2008.  The line is very limited and will be hitting only select stores in New York , California and Chicago. I know there will be crazy lines, but if you have nothing better else to do why not wait for these limited pieces.  The folks at refinery pipeline had chance to view the clothing in person here’s their response

Refinery : Remember all those pretty studio shots of the Comme des Garçons for H&M ? Yeah, nice, hunh? Well, you can never really tell what clothes look like until you see them out of the studio. Lucky Racked, they got a look for themselves at a market preview of Rei Kawakubo’s work for the Swedish superstore. in Los Angeles. Their take was quite positive: “We’ll say this, people: The Comme des Garçons for H&M collection lives up to the hype.” Now, generally, we trust Racked in such matters (they’re a good group, them.) And, true, the women’s looks are pretty spectacular (if a bit Harajuku goth.) But in an office that’s half men, we had some doubts about the diagonally patterned men’s suits. The construction looks very good, but, call us crazy, we prefer our stripes on a traditional north/south x/y axis. Nonetheless, we agree that this collection is probably worth the wait on line, even if the prices are a tad higher than we would have hoped for. Sigh. Now, Racked’s Tasha Nita Adams (hi, girl) wasn’t actually able to try the clothes on ( damn those sample sizes) so the final verdict still awaits a full ruling. Mark your calendars for November 13 to slip into some yourself.
