for h&m.

so the new marimekko 'designer' collection for h&m comes out this thursday and i have one word for it; barf.


marimekko has such a long tradition of beautiful clothes. with pieces in both classic stripe / dot patterns as well as modern 'fun' prints, i've envied their clothes {and pattern designers} for a long time now and i can understand giving a nod to their popular patterns from the 60's and 70's, {even re-using the 'joonas' pattern} but i think that they veered a bit off course. the following images are from marimekko's s/s '08 collection. why didn't they make cheaper versions of those!!?? i'd pretty much kill for that last dress!

the word is also out that a comme des garcons for h&m collection is scheduled for november. i'm interested to see out that will turn out. also, i'm still crossing my fingers for a 3.1 phillip lim collaboration. please!!!

edit: gap design editions returns april 15th and includes band of outsiders, threeasfour, michael bastian, philip crangi and 3.1 phillip lim!
