Matthew Williamson To Design For H & M

Picking up the pace of its designer collaborations, H&M said Matthew Williamson would create a women’s collection for April 23 delivery, followed by another range for women and men in mid-May.

An H&M spokeswoman said the “exclusive” women’s range would be carried in about 200 stores, with the second delivery slated for all of its 1,700 stores.

The news comes only weeks after shoppers picked racks clean of the Swedish firm’s latest joint label, with Japan’s Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons.

Gianfranco Ferre Expands Worldwide


Gianfranco Ferré's newbie designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi received rave reviews for their inaugural Spring 2009 collection, and the company must being reaping the benefits. The brand has plans to add up to eleven new stores worldwide by the end of 2009. First up: three stores in China in Guivang, Zhangzhou, and Changsha. After a store opens in Warsaw, five more Ferré Milano stores will be built in Poland by the end of 2009. In addition to the Gianfranco Ferré boutique in London, the company is planning a Ferré Milano Donna location at Harrods. Dubai is already home to one Gianfranco Ferré boutique, one Ferré Milano and four GF FERRÉ stores, but they will continue their Middle Eastern expansion with the opening of a GF FERRÉ corner at the Dubai International Airport.

Thank you FWD

I know, I need help! But wait a minute before you haul me off in a straight jacket. I spied these

I really do like this purse. Maybe I'm in the minority on this one but I happen to like the way it's styled. I don't think it is too much. Did someone say something about taste? Suffice it to say that what taste good to me may not taste good to you. And you know what? That's perfectly alright.

Chanel To Present Paris-Moscow Collection


T
hough Coco Chanel may be considered the quintessential femme Parisienne, it turnes out that she was fascinated by the near East--and Karl Lagerfeld must agree. Next month, Chanel will debut the Paris-Moscow Collection, a collection using the craftsmanship of the Metiers d'Art. For the yearly fall collection, Lagerfeld has looked to cities like Paris, New York, Tokyo, Monte Carlo, and London; this year, Chanel will take its inspiration from Moscow. The Chanel obsession with all things russe goes back to the days of Coco, who was fascinated by Russian artists like Stravinsky, Diaghilev and Lifar. (She even created a fragrance of Cuir de Russie with Ernest Beaux, the perfumer of the tsars.) The collection will be presented Wednesday, December 3, in the Ranelagh Theatre in Paris.
