Fresh off the heels of their wildly successful collaboration with Versace, H&M recently spilled the beans that their next big name designer collabo is with none other than the uber-stylish Italian brand, Marni, for spring 2012.
For those unfamiliar with the brand, expect lots of sophisticated graphic prints, bold pops of color mixed with neutrals and very lady-like silhouettes (think: midi-length skirts and dresses with an almost mod vibe). The diffusion line will go on sale in 260 H&M stores on March 8, 2012.
Check out this video clip featuring Marni’s founder and creative director Consuelo Castiglioni along with fashion journalist Tim Blanks and H&M’s creative director Margareta van den Bosch discussing the upcoming line:
Dressed in party perfect ensembles, these ladies get an A for effort. Emma Watson looked super sophististicated dressed in a winter white, embellished peplum-style top with black skinny belt, a black pencil skirt and ankle strap sandals to the London film premiere of “My Week With Marilyn.”
Liya Kebede is clearly ready for spring. The model was decked out in a monochromatic look in the bright hue with a fitted blazer, sheer blouse, pleated midi-length skirt and matching sandals while at the 8th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in NYC. Kate Winslet’s choice of a red sleeveless body-con dress with color-blocked side panels (to better show off her curves) to the Paris film premiere of “Carnage” was a great one.
**UPDATE** This poll is closed. Liya Kebede and Kate Winslet are the Stylin’ Chicks of the Week.
