My Fashion Life

Traditionally, fashion was associated only with big name designers like Prada, Ghesquiere, Lanvin or Yves St. Laurent. Each season they would dictate what the masses would wear the next season, but it would often take quite some time for these new trends to trickle their way down to the department stores at a price level the average person could afford. H&M, Target and Kohl’s weren’t exactly going to be found on the cover of InStyle or Vogue.

Tis the season to be merry! Well it will be soon. This can only mean one thing…. its time to start thinking of what to wear to all those fabulous parties you’ve been invited to. For the next 10 days we’ll be offering our assistance and recommending some of the hottest party dresses around. Up first is the dazzling sequinned mini dress, £149.99/$249.99, from the Roberto Cavalli at H&M collaboration. We reckon this has got to be the best buy from the entire collection. In true Cavalli style, its glam and sexy! It won’t be available until Nov 8th when the full collection makes its worldwide debut. Visit hm.com to locate your nearest stockist.

Celebrations for the launch of “Roberto Cavalli at H&M” began last night at Rome’s Salone delle Fonatane during which the collection made its debut to the press. Halle Berry and Sharon Stone showed their support and partied with Cavalli, along with most of the models from the campaign and Vogue’s resident TV presenter Louise Roe.

We love an exclusive! Here exclusively for you we have a couple of images from the “Roberto Cavalli at H&M” ad campaign. And what would a Cavalli line be without leopard prints? Judging from the pictures we can expect lots of it!

It looks like Cavalli and H&M have gone all out on this one, enlisting rock ‘n’ roll kids, Theodora Richards and Sean Lennon to model as well as Julia Roitfeld, (daughter of Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld) Jessica Stam, Lydia Hearst and Anouck Lepère.

I know I’m probably aligning myself with the minority when I say this, but not only am I looking forward to Roberto Cavalli for H&M but I believe the line will be a success. Let’s hope I’m not forced to eat my words when the collection hits the stores in November! But seriously… judging from these preview pics I do think we’re in for a treat. In fact as far as collaborations go I’d say we’re in for a lot of treats this season.

It’s about that time for another designer and high street collaboration and H&M has announced that their next partnership will be with….Roberto Cavalli! Cavalli makes his mark as the first Italian designer in the history of H&M producing a one off collection for both men and women. “Robert Cavalli at H&M” will consist of 25 pieces of womenswear and 20 pieces of menswear along with lingerie and accessories. To keep the partnership exclusive the collection will be available in 200 selected H&M stores and only for a limited period of time from date of launch, November 8th 2007

Of the collaboration Cavalli said,

“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”

So what can we expect from the designer who’s become synonymous with glamour? Embellishments, nature inspired prints and colour! (Maybe a little leather?)
