Comme des Garcon for H&M.











Retail giant Hennes & Mauritz said on Thursday the founder of Japanese label Comme des Garcons would design its guest collection this autumn, when the Swedish firm also opens its first stores in Tokyo.

The collaboration with Rei Kawakubo is the latest with the glitterati of fashion and pop that has ranged from Madonna to Kylie Minogue and from Karl Lagerfeld to Stella McCartney.

Kawakubo, who founded Comme des Garcons in 1973, will design a collection for men and women and some children's clothes as well as accessories and a unisex perfume.

WOW, I am Shocked. And Happy.

Good for all. To keep your view wide. To not think small, just something to think about.

The collection will be launched in Japan in November.

H&M's style aimed at the masses is very different from Kawakubo's clothes which is more conceptual art than mainstream fashion, often breaking with many of the traditional rules of design.

H&M has collaborated with a long list of designers recently and they do bring huge amount of the overall sales.

I can't wait.
