Fashion fans – the first looks from the Kenzo x H&M collection have arrived

Check it out.

Fashion fans – feast your eyes on the first images from Kenzo’s up and coming collaboration with H&M.

The high-street brand has a longstanding reputation for collaborating with esteemed designers on limited-edition collections, which tend to sell out immediately.

In case you need any reminding, this will bring you up to speed with the hysteria generated by the #HMBalmaination line, last year’s designer collection brought to fruition by Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing.

This November, Kenzo will launch its collaboration with the brand and as their aesthetic is a fun, playful amalgamation of prints and colours, fashion fans are freaking out about what the collection could involve.

Carol Lim and Humberto Leon are joint creative directors at H&M and today, the first three images from the upcoming line have been revealed.

Instead of working with models, Carol and Humberto asked their friends, influencers and people they admire to wear the designs for the campaign shots.

Pictured below are:

artist and poet Juliana Huxtable; Isamaya Ffrench, a makeup artist and member of the London-based collective Theo Adams Company; Oko Ebombo, a musician and performance artist and Amy Sall, an activist and founder of SUNU: Journal of African Affairs, Critical Thought  + Aesthetics.

The collection drops on the 3rd November (only over three months to wait) and it will be available in over 250 stores worldwide as well as online for the first time in Ireland.

Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
