Now this is a collaboration worth talking! I love Marni (own 0 Marni pieces) and I love H&M (own 256,864 H&M pieces). This is a collection that will mostly definitely be worth taking out my camping chair from the "camping stuff" reserves and nicely placing it outside the H&M store at 9PM before the next day's store opening. Kidding of course, I'd come at 7AM :) (And that's another lie).
I am loving Consuelo Castiglioni's green pants on the picture above, I hope something like that will be in her H&M line.
For all the H&M monster-fanatics -- this collection will hit 260 stores worldwide on March 8th, 2012. Oh, isn't a great gift on the International Woman's Day?
And that is what the creative minded Castiglioni says about her collection:
"I wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all our favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints," explains Consuelo Castiglioni. "As always, I love juxtaposing prints and colors, mixing modern tribal with Bauhaus graphic adding sporty utilitarian elements."
According to the collection's press release: "For women, the colors are vivid and the prints are bold, be they African inspired or simpler color blocks. The silhouettes are all Marni staples, with full pleated skirts, dresses, cropped trousers and jacquard knit, and fabrics range from silk to crisp cotton poplin. For men, the colors and fabrics are softened for a relaxed take on menswear staples that is truly Marni. The use of print is subtle, often as a lining or as a contrast detail for shirts, the silhouette a modern and relaxed take on masculine classics."
