Marni for H&M

Last week, H&M released their new collection which they collaborated with designer Marni on. I was kind of excited for this because although Marni isn't one of my favourite designers, they have some good stuff. However, I was really shocked when I first saw the collection. To me it was mundane and shapeless. I can kind of see where the collaboraters are coming from with the whole vintage, tailored effect but for me they have went the wrong way about it.





  Naturally, the collection sold out very fast as H&M designer collections are quite reasonably priced but although the Marni collection seemed to be the cheapest, I definitely wouldn't have bought anything from it. For me they need to inject a bit more colour into their designs. Nothing bold or out there but just a little to liven the collection up. I also feel that S/S is all about showing off your figure and your pins, so by structuring the clothes a little more, they would have worked wonders. So that's my opinion on H&Ms lastest designer collection. Not for me but not a complete disaster.

Alexa who??

So we all remember the craze when Mulberry released their "Alexa"(inspired by tv presenter and model Alexa Chung) bag back in 2012? And at almost £800 it was amazing how crazy long the waiting list was.


Now Mulberry have managed to out-do themselves with the stunning "Del Rey" bag - named after up  and coming American singer-songwriter. The bag which was modelled by the star at the 2012 LFW is set to be part of Mulberry's Autumn 2012 collection which is set to be released in May and will cost a staggering £795. The smooth and simplistic design of the bag just adds to the classic character and *predication alert* will be competing for best bag of 2012. 




Well we better get saving as we've only got a couple of months until May.
