On november 14th, Jimmy Choo is releasing a fall collection for H&M. There will be shoes, bags, clothes, & accessories. H&M is a european company similar to Urban Outfitters, which has lower budget clothing. I think it's fantastic with the economy that a lot of designers are recognizing the struggles which the average person is facing & offering great clothing pieces at great prices. For example: Anna Sui for target, Vena Cava for Gap, Miley's line at Wal-mart and Charlotte Ronson for JCPenny. In my opinion, a person should be able to buy great clothes at whatever price they want to spend, and right now not a majority of people have the funds for expensive clothes. Also, I worked in retail & I realize how much markup is placed on clothes so the brand can thrive and the designer can make a lot of money. So, I think this is a great way for designers to show intrinsic motivation & design because it's their passion, rather than marking their clothes up 300%.
