It was 2008 when H&M launched it’s first Fashion Against Aids collection. The new items aimed towards raising awareness of HIV/AIDS among youth will be available for purchase in selected stores starting today, April 26th. 25% of the purchase price is donated HIV/AIDS prevention.

In Romania you can shop the collection in Brasov, Constanta and Bucharest (Cotroceni and Unirea). Go for it!

The End – The first issue of Creative For Us Magazine will be available soon. Stay tuned!

“This is a luxurious collection, defined by the same attention to detail, richness and unparalleled level of craftsmanship that has made Marni a cult label among the cognoscenti. In this groundbreaking collaboration with H&M, the same codes are made available, for the very first time, to a new, transversal audience of individually minded explorers of style.”

Here’s a better look at the yet to be released Marni at H&M collection. Already made my wishlist and next week I’ll be in Bucharest to get my hands on my favorite pieces.

The collection will be available for purchase starting March 8th, in selected stores worldwide. Till then enjoy the men’s lookbook photographed by Josh Olins and let me know what do you think about this collaboration.

“I wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all our favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints. As always, I love juxtaposing prints and colours, mixing modern tribal with Bauhaus graphic adding sporty utilitarian elements”.

by Consuelo Castiglioni

“We all love the collection here at H&M and we believe that our customers will do the same. Marni has such a modern touch with everything they do, mixing prints and accessories in a playful but chic way. It’s fantastic to see how Consuelo Castiglioni coordinates her designs, matching new combinations of print and colour, with such incredible craftsmanship behind every piece. The collection will arrive in stores at just the perfect time, as a lovely statement for spring“.

P.S. March 8th, I know were I’ll be!

With a unique and minimalistic design, this is the wallet I’ve been looking for.

Hand-cut from a single piece of leather with nothing but a golden button, you can carry your cash, credit cards and ID (let’s face it, it’s all you need) in your Clean Everything wallet. I love the color and the fact that due to its dimensions you can put it in any pocket without having the feeling that you’re carrying a brick.

You’ve seen the official campaign and lookbook, now here’s a quick look at some of my favorite pieces from the Versace for H&M collection. (wishlist!!)

Though I’m not sure I’m gonna end up buying everything I posted here, these are the items that caught my eye and attention. Still don’t know where the morning of November 17th will find me (Vienna or Bucharest) but I’ll definitely be in front of an H&M store.

Interesting collection, there’s no doubt about it, but Lanvin x H&M is still my favorite collaboration.

P.S. What are you’re favorite pieces from this collection?

“Dominated by colour, print and cut, the brand’s creative director Donatella Versace has gone back to the archives to bring some Versace classics to a whole new audience. Iconic dresses are the focus of the women’s collection, while menswear is centered on sharp tailoring.”

Here’s a better look at the yet to be released Versace for H&M collection. My favorite pieces are not featured in this lookbook, so I’ll post them as a wishlist sometime next week.

Tomorrow, September 18th, one of my favorite Spanish designers, Ana Locking, will present her new SS 2012 collection, Under Beauty, during Madrid Fashion Week. Unfortunately this season I couldn’t make it to Spain to see the show, but hopefully next year I’ll be once again in the audience.

I’ll do my best to post some pictures with my favorite outfits after the show is over.

P.S. Thanks for the invite and see you soon!
