H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) is one of my absolute favorite stores abroad. Not only are the items very reasonably priced, I could go to H&M everyday and always end up finding something that I want. Too bad there are no local retail stores, although there have been rumors that the Philippine franchise of H&M is to open sometime this year. So far though, it has remained nothing but a rumor.
I love how H&M does collaborations with pop icons & designers. The recent H&M and Comme des Garcons (CDG) collaboration was pretty successful. After collaborations with the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Roberto Cavalli among others, here comes another one: Jimmy Choo for H&M. Yes! The famed luxury shoe and bag designer will create a line of shoes, bags, accessories, as well as clothing for both men and women. The collection will be available in H&M stores worldwide starting November 14, 2009. Just enough time to save up! :)
*Sigh!* I adore Jimmy Choos! Who doesn't? Too bad I can't afford a pair right now. For our wedding, I was hoping to get a sexy bejeweled Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik stiletto as my bridal shoes but there was none available in the stores. The closest thing to bejeweled I found at that time were the Print d'Orsay Blahniks which wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I convinced myself that my bridal shoes will be something I can wear again and again, so it would be nice to invest in a good one. ;) But our designer (Frederick Peralta) told me that the bejeweled stilettos for those two brands were order basis, and to me that sounded like too much trouble, not to mention expensive. In the end, I ended up getting a (significantly) less expensive but nice pair of bejeweled stilettos online. No regrets!
Back to the collaboration. According to Tamara Mellon, founder and president of Jimmy Choo, "Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticatd, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!"
I feel giddy and excited just thinking of the collection! This is sure to sell like hot cakes! Now, I wonder if the items will still be reasonably priced? *crossing fingers*

WOW. I'm speechless. I'm drooling. I'm beside myself thinking of all the *affordable* Jimmy Choo goodness coming our way!
I wanted to wear designer shoes for our wedding too but I couldn't justify the expense to myself. Well, if we had money to burn it would have been a different story, hehe. But you're so right, how many opportunities do you get to wear them?
But then again, how many times does one gal get married? And have a reason to buy Blahniks or Choos or Loubutins? Bwahahaha! And the debate continues!
It's like I'm mini-blogging in your comments section these days. :-D
I wish it'll be affordable!!
It's so easy to justify something if you really want it bad enough! Heheh! There will always be "reasons to" rather than "excuses not to".
My love affair with H&M started years years back while in Switzerland... hay, and now the closest we can get it is in HK (and I don't even go there often!!!) Hay buhay....
I love your blog.. very "fashionably" informative :)
hi jehan! thanks :) yep so sad noh that the closest one is in hk. I really wish they open one here soon.
