I had taken a self-imposed sabbatical from all of the mass-market chain/high-end designer collaborations. They were coming too fast and furious, giving me capsule collection fatigue. But I’m genuinely excited about Matthew Williamson’s work for H&M, if for no other reason than this razor sharp pantsuit in International Klein Blue pictured above. And while Rei Kawakubo’s avant garde dresses, coats and sweaters (which I loved) didn’t exactly sell like Michael Jackson comeback tour tickets, I’m guessing Williamson’s colorful collection featuring some of his greatest graphic hits will fly off store racks.
