Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr and Me
This week passed by very quickly, perhaps it was because I was looking forward to the COMME des GARCONS for H&M party that took place Thursday, Oct 23rd at Espace. Before knowing where the event was going to be held, I thought it would be a press preview at the H&M showroom like the one they had in LA. Instead they threw an amazing party with an open bar, yummy hors d’oeuvres and desserts passed around throughout the night. I’m not mad since I’ve already tried on the pieces at the showroom a couple of months back. I’m a huge fan of the tv show Gossip Girl, so when I was happy when I spotted Jessica Szohr (she’s really nice and pretty), COMME des GARCONS for H&M campaign models: Cartwright Lee and Missy Rayder and Richie Rich but you can see the rest here- I didn’t get to see Maggie Gyllenhaal though.
Besides all the distractions, all eyes on the COMME des GARCONS for H&M Collection, you’ve seen it all already but I’ve shot close-ups of the actual garments with detailed pics of the limited $349 piece that everyone is talking about. I personally really really like it, I think the quality and construction of the suit/dress/jacket is amazing- the country manager of H&M was at the party dressed in that piece and it looked good- I want it!! All guests left with a gift bag, inside is the COMME des GARCONS for H&M Eau de Toilette (funny I checked eBay, I knew people would do this haha)! Great event as usual, big thanks to YM for helping me take pics!
H&M has also updated their website yesterday with the collection, prices (very reasonable) and locations of where to get each item- if you haven’t checked you should check out the virtual showroom, pretty dope.

Last week when I went by to the Married to the MOB office, Leah has already shown me this dope pair of Dunk High joints that she designed with Nike. We spent some time talking about her inspirations on designing the Dunks and saw a few other samples that she had before deciding this pair was the “one”. Some of you may know that I’m quite obsessed with Chanel, so once I saw the Dunks I already knew it was inspired by the Chanel tweed jackets. The collaboration is definitely a classic one, keeping it simple in white and black with a touch of patent resembling the patent tip of the Chanel flats. She finishes off with a bit of glam with the MOB golden clips on the lace flaps and MOB lace locks. Super hotness, I love it- def want a pair! Ladies don’t sleep, this ish is fiyah! What are your thoughts?
The Married to the MOB x Nike Dunk High is scheduled to drop at Tier-0 accounts only and will be dropping at Patta this coming October 18th, 2008 on November 8, 2008. Stay tuned for other Tier-0 accounts release dates and locations…

Finally a good look at the COMME des GARCONS for H&M Collection that is slated to release in Japan on November 8th and all other H&M markets on November 13th! You’ve got the first look back in August and a recent post about the limited edition piece from the collection that costs $349 which got the internet debating on it’s worth but here’s the full collection preview from Hong Kong’s Ketchup magazine! The collection consists of women’s, men’s and accessories along with perfume- quite an impressive collection. I’ve seen most of the pieces when I visited the H&M showroom last month and I was quite excited already but after viewing the full collection preview I seriously can’t wait! Love the accessories (bag, wallet and scarf) and most of the women’s pieces- look at the damn jackets (so nice!!), I may need to get up early and wait in line! Are you guys anticipating this collection to release? Will you line up? Don’t sleep on this collaboration!!!

When I first heard about the second collaboration between Jeremy Scott and adidas Originals I jumped to joy, the first images of the collection were super dope already. Today reader Jane sent images over via The Cobra Snake of the Jeremy Scott for adidas Originals Sneakers and I nearly died. I’m especially loving the wing motif pairs (gold and white), the other pairs are dope too. The kicks are AMAZING, I must get my hands on all of them!! Footwear in the collection ranges from about $120 to $250 which is quite reasonable, look at the designs! The collection is scheduled to release on February 1, 2009 and will be first launched in select boutiques and fashion doors and a month later in adidas Originals stores. Do I sense a line forming up when this collection drops? YIKES! Comments?
