Be all the fashion blog that you can be!

All of the fashion forward blogs are reporting this, and so will I! British Vogue just reported that Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons has been confirmed as new guest designer in H&Ms ongoing groundbreaking endeavour of hiring actual clothing designers to design their clothing(!). Some truly forward thinking right there.

Never beeing a fan of the de/re-constructed madness of the mainline and multitude of sublines under the CDG umbrella (well, I like the "shirt" line a bit, plain and overpriced, just up my alley), the HM collaboration will atleast be a velcome change from the overtly catchy stuff Lagerfeld and Cavalli chunked out.. Or it might not, and we'll end up with puffy arms and shirt buttons the size of saucers.. well see..

The New York Times style magazine posted an article a couple of weeks ago profiling Rei, the background, and covering most of the sub brands that run under CGD. A pretty interesting read if you have some interest in Japanese fashion.

(I actually just posted this to point out the amusing similarity to pint-sized fashion designer Edna Mode from Disneys The Incredibles, Rei Kawakubo down to a tee, with maybe a little bit of Edith Head thrown in there..)
