CURIOUSER NEW YORK

Here's another H&M-high fashion collaboration coming your way! This time is the talented and very stylish ISABEL MARANT, the inventor of the wedge sneakers that took over the planet - literally...

  Should I say more?!! It's mine, mine, mine.  Maison Martin Margiela is one extraordinaire fashion designer. He makes clothes, shoes and accessories that are simply crazy - in a funky kinda way. It's just me, I love everything weird when it comes to fashion. I like both classic and weird, to be more correct. 

It's unlikely that you'd think that fashion would need some therapy.  I'm talking about the latest film from Roman Polanski "A Therapy" that is being presented by Prada. I'm dying to see.  And what did you think I meant?

If you don't know it by now, you should know it right now!  Today is the official release day of Marni collection-collaboration with H&M ! Believe it or not, but I've just learned about it today myself, and I'm so glad that the H&M store is just a few blocks away from my work. So, guess what I'm doing after work?

David Beckham has arrived... That is - Beckham's new underwear collection has arrived in H&M stores across the globe, and I happened to stumble over it, while shopping for the store's latest hot items - stretching leather pants and long wool jacket with leather sleeves - [I'm obsessed with them now...] This David Beckham-H&M collaboration has been in the works for a while, and the fans of Beckham's 'forms' couldn't wait to see what he, personally, would come up with aside from his previous collaborations with Giorgio Armani that absolutely wow-ed the females around the world. And I must tell you - he did not disappoint!

I love when I can just stop by a store to look for one thing - [and for someone else...] - and leave the store with a few new finds that I did not expect to get at all...For myself . I thought I spotted Karl Largerfeld 's collaboration with H&M store the other day. I was quite surprised to stumble over what looked like VERY KARL LAGERFIELD - VERY CHANEL clothes, shoes and accessories at an H&M store on Fifth Avenue . I thought I could recognize his signature style, but it wasn't. Although, it did look like HIM... Oh la la...

My Versace... Alright, now that I know Versace is a hit anywhere I wear it , I'm now very tempted to invest in Versace's Cruise 2012 collection, even though I would never ever go on a cruise - [yes, you can ask me WHY...]

Lately, there have been quite a few collaborations between retail stores and top fashion designers. I wonder if that's the result of the economy, when - [finally] - the designers recognize that they've been missing a huge chunk of the potentional customers, who could shop their designer collections at moderate prices. Personally, I do like when designers collaborate with low-end stores, although we all understand that it's not the same to wear Versace from Versace high end collections and Versace from H&M collaboration , but the price of $199 vs. $2,999 does make a difference for the fashionistas, who can't spend all their salaries on a designer's items. So, we succumb to the 'collaborations' because we do want to be fab and stylish. On the other hand, I'm always at owe with the notorious fashionistas - [think the It-Girls of the likes of Chloe Sevigne and Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen] - who wear proudly both Forever21 and H&M items in the com...

They are doing it again! We can't keep up.  H&M is collaborating with Marni for Spring 2012 collection that is set for March 8th - just in time for the International Woman's Day! I wonder if they've planned it on purpose to give a woman such a present?!
