COMME des GARCONS for H&M Collection Preview

On Monday you’ve got a first look at the COMME des GARCONS for H&M collaboration via W’s September issue. Now Fashionista has more images leaked on the web. The collection consists of both women’s and men’s and is clearly very Japanese and stays true to Rei Kawakubo’s avant-garde style. Come November, I’m sure all Rei Kawakubo/COMME des GARCONS fans will invade H&M. Japan is lucky to get the collection before the rest of the world to commemorate the opening of H&M Japan. I’m hoping I will be able get a piece or two- lots of polka dots, the black lolita goth dress is quite interesting, the details are amazing and jackets are all great. They even made the female models look like Rei Kawakubo, how cute- I love it! What are your thoughts? Is it for your or is it too avant-garde?

  • Elle says:

  • Jerr says:

    as for everything else, i dont know…

  • LC says:

    I love the coats and your blog! When does this collection come out? ALso when does the infinity scarf (previous H&M entry) come out?

  • tina says:

    lovee it !
    so many polka dots :)

  • Tiffany says:

    I like those crazy shorts.

  • Felicia says:

    The mens is so stupid- it just looks like average H&M. The womens actually looks like CDG though.

  • greenfairie says:

    As someone who remembers CDG’s deconstructed glory days in the 1980s, I can’t wait!

  • Filipino Maid says:

    Its just so sad that my country doesnt have H&M

  • Federico says:

    Comme Des Garcons IS THE BEST!

    Brilliant idea from H&M.

    BRAVO!!!!

    Lets hope tehre is something for guys

  • Julio says:

    I’m not impressed by the men’s stuff :(
    I guess I’ll have to see it in person.
    I just moved to San Francisco, so I’ve got a nice, big h&m here to stalk.

  • joseph says:

    hmm i agree, the men’s stuff seems a bit lucklustre
    i shall await pics of full collection

  • joseph says:

    & did 1 button fall off from the blue coat in first pic? or was it a deliberate style?!
    never know from CDG

  • Anna-Maria says:

    This looks great! I don’t know how wearable these are in real life but I like the look anyway. The winter jackets are the best I think.

  • Chu says:

    they all look great!! i wanna have them all!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Johnny says:

    ………I’m buying every pieces. The less wearable the better!

  • jshaw says:

    to avant guard…? if you like high fashion you should not even know the term avant guard…. i am looking forward for the release of this line super hard!

  • Linda says:

    “im a lil lad that likes berries and creammmm”
    [ish] =/ lol

  • Hopposheesho says:

    Not exactly ground breaking is it? I wonder what kind of limitations these collaborators have to work within to produce their vision? Do they work within a budget, obviously H&M picks up the tab for manufacturing. Does anybody know? Answer me, now.

  • anna says:

    sorry but,
    the whole stuff looks ridiculous…
    and nobody with self-respect can wears this…

  • konicali says:

    wow, i really love the a lot of the coats in the collection, but the pants are a bit…
    i dunno if the shirts will look as good as in the pictures in real life though.

  • Jerr says:

    h&m updated their site again with a jean preview!

  • Izzy says:

    Unfortunately the men’s line does not live up to the women’s line. It’s very H&M — basic. The collaboration that I felt really brought it for the men by creating wearable pieces but kept true to the designer’s aesthetic was Viktor&Rolf

  • Carla says:

    IEWL it’s ehmm ugly..:$

  • wolf says:

    This collection is launching November 13 on selected H&M and I am glad we have one here in SF. The Collection looks great! I will definitely be the first in line and buy as much as I can with this collection. I know this collection is worth 6K to 25K, so thanks to H&M for the collaboration and I have a chance to own this great collection with a much more reasonable price …just like Cavalli.

  • chris says:

    I really think that the lady’s line is quite interesting, Defenetely a must have for those who dare and can pull it off! , as for the mes collection is boring and quite simple!, i dont think i like any of the pieces:( it looks gap to me, nothing new. thats why i love you hedi slimane!

  • 17 says:

    Because that 2 button suit (with the polka dot shirt) looks nothing like Band of Outsiders from last season.

  • elizadeath says:

    maybe im really poor because this is not affordable for me.
