I’m a Celebrity Style Editor and these are my top picks from the high-street’s must-have designer collection
RABANNE H&M really is the collaboration we have all been waiting for. The luxury brand has teamed up with high-street favourite to bring us a brand-new collection just in time for party season!
News of the designer collab broke out during Paris Fashion Week in October at a dazzling launch event, where celebrities including Cher, Jared Leto and Ashley Graham were all pictured in custom pieces from the collection.
Spanish designer Paco Rabanne founded the label back in the swinging ’60s, and it soon became popular for its use of unconventional materials and flamboyant designs.
Julien Dossena took over as creative director in 2013 and continues to push the boundaries with futuristic and retro pieces, giving a nod to Rabanne’s iconic designs of the past. “To be able to introduce iconic pieces with an incredible design integrity, at a price that is accessible for a larger number of people, felt inspiring to me,” he said.
This season, the designer brand has chosen to follow in the footsteps of Erdem, Kenzo, Balmain and most recently, Mugler, by collaborating with H&M to design an exuberant, dazzling selection of womenswear, menswear and homeware.
I have already tried on my favourite pieces from the collection and it is safe to say… you won’t want to miss out on this one!
