Jimmy Choo and H&M, Can this really be true!

Nothing like an announcement of an insane collaboration to brighten up even the rainiest of days. Jimmy Choo and H&M have just announced that they are launching a collection of bags, shoes, and accessories for men and women plus wait for it, he is also releasing a clothing line. This collaboration is hitting stores November 14. This is one of the first high-end shoe lines to ever do one of these low mass marketing pairings. Could this be a sign of the times? Regardless, we will definitely be lining up for this one.

Divided We Stand

As I walked into H&M Eaton centre last Tuesday I was taken back by a new section featured on the Divided sales floor. H&M has introduced a divided exclusive line in limited quantities and I must say I am very impressed. Perhaps H&M is feeling the economic pressure or the pressure to step it up in terms of fashion but regardless we will be shopping this new collection. My personal favorite is the 80's inspired leather cuff with studded silver detailing. 

These images are a sneak preview of the fall 09 collection. This 80's inspired collection defiantly has some hints of Alexander Wang, Balenciaga and Balmain.

Vena Cava & Alexander Wang's Gap Collaboration Revealed

Here are some of the first photo's from the Vena Cava for Gap collaboration. Were loving the amazing khaki dress with exposed front zip detail. Sophie and Lisa have proved that they can work wonders with boring khaki material like no other.

Also, presenting the Alexander Wang pieces below. We must say that we are underwhelmed by this collection and are more excited for the Vena Cava collection. Will you check out the collection in stores on June 16?

Victoria Beckham Spends 1.5million on Berkin bags

What rescission? An American financial website has just reveled that V.Beckham has spent over 1.5 million on Hermes Berkin bags. The waiting list which opens for only one to two days annually is up to four years long for your most basic canvas Berkin bag that will run you a cool $4000-. Posh has quite the extensive collection as she has bagged one in every color and configuration ever created. Of her most elaborate bags is the one encrusted with a three-carat diamond, which costs a cool $80,000. I would love to have just one let alone posh's extensive collection. 

Lauren Conrad presents L.A Candy

Weather you love her or love to hate her Lauren Conrad has proved that she is here to stay. Lauren Conrad has just published her debut novel entitled LA Candy. The book available June 16 but teen vogue is offering a sneak peak and special excerpts of the book. Our feeling after reading this is that she should just stick to what she does best- not so reality TV.

Fashion Insider: The Model as Muse at the MET

This new exhibit is defiantly on my must see list. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is holding a new exhibit, The Model as Muse: Embodying fashion, which focuses on iconic models and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion and their respective eras. The exhibit examines a timeline of fashion from 1947 to 1997. The exhibit will officially be unveiled on May 6, 2009 and runs until August 9, 2009.  

"You look at those women and you understand what it meant to be modern in that time," said historian and co-curator Kohle Yohannan.

Missoni for H&M?

Speculation is already mounting about the next designer collaboration for H&M. In a not-so-subtle shout-out to H&M, 55-year-old Angela Missoni has said she'd like to design something that would reach Britain's ‘younger' market: ‘I would like to do something with H&M because I think it is a very powerful way to reach younger girls now.' And considering H&M's veteran designer Margareta Van den Bosh said last month she was looking into the next collaboration, we reckon she'll be picking up the phone soon. After all, the opportunity to bag a piece from Missoni – famous for its colourful rainbow-stripe prints – on the high street is too good to miss. I can hardly wait.
