Comme des Garçons Invades H&M

H&M has gone "designer" on us again, this time with Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garçons.

What to expect? Black cropped trousers, tuxedo jackets, almost everything in the darkest of colours. Though it may look boring for those of you prefering colour, this is the key Comme look: black jackets, black dresses, including an extremely sexy black trench-coat for the guys. Also typical of this label, the looks created for H&M are neither obviously for men or women, remaining quite uniform-like.

There are also some nods to current trends with polka dots shirts, blouses, shorts, a handbag and even a pair of trainers.

As with other H&M designer launches, you will have some who will rush to empty the store's shelves, and others who will wait for the next designer to bring something more to their liking. We love the elegance and sharpness of the look, something we don't normally find at H&M. Comme des Garçons is a unique label, with a stunning and dramatic look, and fans of Kawakubo's designs will not be disappointed.
