H&M

On the heels of Matthew Williamson’s boldly printed summer line, H&M has announced its next high-end collaboration with star-favorite accessories brand Jimmy Choo. The luxury shoe line, which is a red carpet favorite of stars like Kate Hudson, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Beyonce and more, will not only be creating a women’s and men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories, but will be extending its range to a women’s clothing line. This marks the first designer accessory collaboration for H&M. Jimmy Choo for H&M will hit stores November 14, 2009 with shoe styles ranging from $60-$200– a steal compared to Jimmy Choo’s $500+ prices. So far, we love what we see.

For this year’s Gap Design Edition collection, the retailer has teamed with CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners Albertus Swanepoel, Alexander Wang, and Vena Cava’s Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai. Instead of the plain white shirt, designers got the chance to revamp another Gap classic– the khaki! The resulting collection offers a variety of khaki pieces ranging from jackets to dresses to hats. Each piece reflects the designers’ creative visions while still retaining Gap’s classic, yet casual, aesthetic. Albertis Swanepoel, Alexander Wang and Vena Cava’s Lisa Mayock and Sophia Buhai join other CFDA winners who have collaborated with Gap including Doo-Ri Chung, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Thakoon Panichgul Thakoon, Phillip Lim and Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders.

Before Amy Adams was nominated for an Oscar, the redheaded actress could be found folding shirts at the local Gap. In a candid interview in the May issue of W, the Doubt star dishes about life before becoming famous and the changes that stardom brings. And while she has since worked with everyone from Meryl Streep to Leonardo DiCarprio, Kirstie Alley, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, landing the Gap job at age 18 was a dream come true. “[It was] a huge deal, because with the 40-percent-off discount I could finally buy things that weren’t on sale!” the star tells W. And for a girl in high school, that meant a lot. “We were defined by the clothes we bought at the mall,” she says. And while Amy now has her pick of labels like Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, her teenage years were more about making do. “I would make fake Guess jeans by buying a cheaper brand with a triangle label and then cutting it off so you could still see the triangle outline. It’s so sad that I did that! But I really wanted to be one of those girls,” Amy recalls about trying to keep up with the cool crowd.

Matthew Williamson’s much-anticipated line for H&M is set to hit stores in just one month. The first shipment will arrive on April 23, followed by a second delivery on May 14 — and we can hardly wait! The British designer — who counts such stars as Eva Longoria Parker, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Sienna Miller and more as fans– is brightening up the affordable retail chain with his bold patterns and bright prints in everything from swimwear to evening gowns. While this collection is certainly more expensive than typical H&M merchandise — prices start at $25 for a pendant necklace to $249 each for this leather jacket and sequin minidress to $349 for this beaded maxidress — they are a fraction of Williamson’s normal prices. For example, a similiar studded belt from his top line retails for $995 (at net-a-porter.com) compared to its $50 H&M price tag. Now that’s a steal!
