The Train Arrives on November 8, 2007

All aboard!!! The H & M train is speeding through a city near you, and with the world's most renowned designers (much like Karl Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney) you wouldn't believe whose up next to help design some men's and women's clothing for my favorite frugal retailer! Yes Mauve, its true, Roberto Cavalli has jumped on the train and this Italian designer will create a one-off collection for women and men exclusively for H&M! The line will carry the vital touch and the intense sensuality typical of Roberto Cavalli, one of the world's most exciting and creative fashion designers. "Roberto Cavalli has created a world of his own, iconic and full of fantasy, when it comes to colours, prints, and style. There is no place for shyness and no possibility of ending up with a mainstream wardrobe of everyday basics. The Roberto Cavalli collections represents an exuberant, successful lifestyle", says Margareta van den Bosch. "As the first Italian designer in the history of H&M, I enthusiastically welcomed this invitation, proud to bring the lively and positive spirit of my work to a new audience, who will be able to see and interpret my style in an individual way. I love freedom and challenges: breaking down barriers, experimenting in different directions. H&M is all this for me. I will add a dash of festivity and dreams", explains Roberto Cavalli. The "Roberto Cavalli at H&M" collection will be available in approximately 200 selected H&M stores worldwide for a limited period of time starting from November 8th 2007. The line will consist of iconic menswear, 20 pieces, and womenswear, 25 pieces, including lingerie plus matching accessories. Okay Mauve...is anyone else besides me excited about this? I have my Cavalli's strapped up tight and I'm making my way to H&M to grab as much as I can! I am looking forward to what they are going to offer. Can we expect loads of animal print? Take a look at this video of Roberto and Margareta talking about the new collection.

...THAT'S TODAY!! Sadly I can't get to a REAL H&M until Saturday, one that will be carrying the line. Cavalli is my utmost fave designer, LOVE HIM! I'm trying to get about 2-3 pieces. Shai, if you get there before the weekend let your readership know how the clothing looks.

So here is the BAD news...to the entire East Coast. Unless you are in New York, TODAY...there will be no Roberto Cavalli for us because they have only sent the collection to the New York flagship store!!!! So...SEE YOU IN NEW YORK ;-)
