Designer collaborations: Marni and H&M
When: March 8, 2012
H&M designer collaborations are always a huge deal, but no one would have ever guessed that quirky Italian brand Marni would make the roster. A complete opposite from Donatella Versace, designer Consuelo Castiglioni is about sweet as opposed to sexy, bohemian as opposed to flashy. Expect ‘60s geometric prints, tunic dresses, platform shoes, and chunky jewels. On March 8, H&M will see a long, long line — perhaps one filled with the most fashion insiders yet.
Designer collaborations: Diane Von Furstenberg and GapKids and babyGap
When: March 2012
Following Stella McCartney’s beloved Gap collections, Diane Von Furstenberg is set to release her first foray into the world of children’s wear, having recently conquered the world of homeware. The collection will include items for babies and girls from ages two to 14. Expect a colourful array of signature Diane Von Furstenberg prints, with perhaps a little wrap dress or two. It also promises such chic-ness, one might be tempted to try and squeeze themselves into kids’ size 14.
Designer collaborations: Trina Turk and Banana Republic
When: June 2012
Towards the end of the season, West Coast-minded Trina Turk will bring her beach-y attire to Banana Republic this summer with a 60-piece collection, including both apparel and accessories. This collaboration will focus on Turk’s penchant for sunny California style with Palm Springs serving as a key inspiration. Look forward to a colourful collection, with tropical prints touching everything from short shorts, summer dresses, and even beach towels.
