Few collaborations create such a stir as H&M and whichever big designer label they are partnering with this time round. The annual catwalk meets high street partnership has taken place again; this autumn H&M and Kenzo have joined forces. The combination of the very exceptional and classic garments of Kenzo with the ever popular and more modestly priced H&M make for an irresistible mix. This one off partnership ensures that every item in the collection will be special and, as Kenzo's designers Carol Lin and Humberto Leon stated, "create a once in a lifetime experience".


The collection is a mix and match of colours and patterns, giving the line a fun loving, youthful appeal. The prints-on-prints effect of tiger stripes and leopard spots against the brilliance of an 80s inspired colour palette provides a particularly eye catching design. Royal blues, vivid greens, bright pinks and reds are given a new lease of life when added to loose fitting, casual items such as jogging bottoms and sweaters. Knowing the success of H&M's previous partnerships, this will truly be one to watch.
