Famed Japanese designer, Rei Kawakubo, is debuting his highly anticipated Comme des Garcons for H&M Collection tomorrow, November 13th and I have the sneak preview! Comme de Garcons, which is French for "like boys," is adding its awesomely asymmetrical, geometric, monochromatic and deconstructed touch to a collection of womenswear, menswear and accessories (including a unisex fragrance!) for H&M.
The collection first launched in Tokyo on Saturday, where a line began to form as early as last Wednesday. Thousands of excited shoppers were there to witness the Harajuku debut.
“Rei Kawakubo’s intellectual and avant-garde collection for H&M is a success among our fashion-conscious audience in Japan. It is a particularly exciting but also very wearable collection featuring her signature deconstructed tailored garments and well-cut classics in special fabrics. Creating this collection together has been fun and a great experience,“ says H&M’s creative advisor Margareta van den Bosch.
I think my favorite pieces are the jackets and the accessories, must-own pieces for serious fashion collectors... Take a looksee for yourself!

Soooo...what do we think? Will you be lining up at dawn (or sending your assistant) for a piece of your own?
