Designer collaborations at H&M are becoming an annual event and one which fashionistas can't help but get excited about. It's the perfect opportunity to get your hands on designer pieces for well under £100! Following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Viktor & Rolf and Roberto Cavalli [1] comes Comme des Garcons who announced their collaboration with the high Street store today. The famously controversial Japanese design house will create a capsule collection for H&M to be released in November.

The collection will not simply include womenswear and menswear but also, for the first time on a H&M collaboration, childrenswear. There will also be accessories and a new unisex fragrance for the retailer. Phew! The line will be available in Tokyo first before being released across the world. Rei Kawakubo spoke to Vogue about the collaboration [2],

"I have always been interested in the balance between creation and business. It is a dilemma, although for me creation has always been the first priority. It is a fascinating challenge to work with H&M since it is a chance to take the dilemma to its extreme, and try to solve it."
