Yes, another H&M collab – this one might not have the hype of H&M x Kenzo, or generate the queues that are the likes of H&M x Alexander Wang, but… this one’s a capsule collection filled with classics that will actually get a lot of mileage.
For Autumn/Winter ’17, the H&M Studio collection – which is the more upmarket range – will take on some French flair, with a tie up with cult French brand Colette. If you’ve ever wandered through its famous store at Rue Saint Honoré in Paris, you’ll know that this clothing and accessory retailer has a signature blue used in its branding – and it’s exactly this “colette blue” that features heavily in this collection.
What immediately stands out is the anorak-poncho hybrid, that mixes two weather-hardy materials as well, wool and nylon. Which makes this piece obviously not meant to be worn in our climes already, but it’ll make you hella fashionable for your next trip to anywhere where a poncho is actually required, that’s for sure.
Everything else can be easily mixed into your Singapore wardrobe, though. A colette-blue mini skirt in a unique texture, complete with the all-essential pockets; a well-cut mini-dress in white; a white blouse overlaid with a subtle graffiti print and with a cut-out uneven hem; and a truly lovely multi-fabric dress with distressed edges.
This capsule collection will be available at the Colette store in Paris as well as the Colette website from end August, so queuing to get your hands on it might be a little challenging. Still, the rest of the main H&M Studio A/W’17 collection, which is actually what this Colette collab is based off, will be available at the Orchard Building store from 14 September.
The H&M Studio x colette edition is available from 21 August 2017 on colette.fr. The H&M Studio A/W’17 collection is available at H&M Orchard Building from 14 September 2017. hm.com/sg
