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? > Full Look: COMME des GARCONS for H&M Collection edit 11.13.2008: More pics after the jump…

August 15th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

so many polka dots
August 15th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I like those crazy shorts.

The mens is so stupid- it just looks like average H&M. The womens actually looks like CDG though.
August 15th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
As someone who remembers CDG’s deconstructed glory days in the 1980s, I can’t wait!

Its just so sad that my country doesnt have H&M
August 16th, 2008 at 11:36 am

Lets hope tehre is something for guys

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.
August 16th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
hmm i agree, the men’s stuff seems a bit lucklustre
i shall await pics of full collection
August 16th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
& did 1 button fall off from the blue coat in first pic? or was it a deliberate style?!
never know from CDG

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.
August 17th, 2008 at 11:06 am
they all look great!! i wanna have them all!!!!!!!!!!!
August 17th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
………I’m buying every pieces. The less wearable the better!
August 18th, 2008 at 12:38 am
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!

“im a lil lad that likes berries and creammmm”

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.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
sorry but,
the whole stuff looks ridiculous…
and nobody with self-respect can wears this…
August 25th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
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.

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

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

IEWL it’s ehmm ugly..:$

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.

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!

Because that 2 button suit (with the polka dot shirt) looks nothing like Band of Outsiders from last season.
December 4th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
maybe im really poor because this is not affordable for me.
