Viktor & Rolf H&M

[rocker4life]

just wanted to say that the new collab is online now...shipment drops on the 9th in stores though.i think its pretty good.i like the jackets especially the peacoat, but i think the price is not H&M status. but again it was designed by viktor & rolf.

I wonder what that pea coat will look, and fit like in person. I will have to check it out.

[jo3 b]

well thats a relief. that all seemed to be a bit too hyped up. nothing really inspiring and the last thing i really need is to dress up my undergarment, socks not included.

glad to say theres nothing there i want.

[isdenn]

yeah theres nothing there that would be worth braving the chaos of nyc h&m stores.

[polishmike]

yeah the coat is double the regular h&m price. looks good on that picture. i also want to check out the black shoes. hard to see them on the site.

[polishmike]

yeah theres nothing there that would be worth braving the chaos of nyc h&m stores.

they will have this collection in most nyc stores so i'm not expecting too much chaos.

uniqlo will smash h&m

uniqlo will smash h&m

Truth.

I was actually thinking about that the other day.I like more of the clean cut and simple stuff at Uniqlo more than most of the stuff at H&M.That and every H&M I have been to has been a complete mess.

That and the Uniqlo birthday sales isn't too shabby.

I don't have flash at work so I can't view the site... can someone post pictures here?

[rocker4life]

yep, uniqlo is beating H&M in every department

[mlproject]

uniqlo's going to put a hurt on them, but i'm anxious to see this line once it comes out. is there a list of stores that will be carrying it? i'm guessing 5th ave at least.

those arrows make me think this:

glad to see the strong uniqlo following.

whatever is currently on their site, and prices included is murdering whatever h&m is putting out for V&R

the only thing uniqlo has to step up is their buttoned shirt game. most of them are horrible :\

[chris_n]

where are the uniqlo in california

[shoreman1782]

The arrows reminded me of Built by Wendy's stuff. I kind of like the arrow sweat, and the grey jacket is sweet in spite of the arrows.

[englandmj7]

The only thing I even vaguely like is the trenchcoat......don't think I will be in a frenzy to check the stuff out in person.......Looks like crappy Zara, and that isn't saying much (not that I don't like Zara).

uniqlo will smash h&m

wish they'd open one here in michigan.

[onemancult]

very, very disappointing. very, very overpriced, assuming that the quality of the product is closer to H & M's standards than Viktor & Rolf's.

I like the pea coat, maybe, and the arrow crew neck, maybe.

Is it only coming to NYC stores? This might be worth picking over in lesser-trafficked

H&M's in the suburbs, if it makes it out to LI / NJ.

[polishmike]

i asked in jersey and it's not coming

i want to see it, from the photos it doesn't look bad but the prices are almos double the normal h&m stuff

[rocker4life]

i think its hitting every store by the 9th

[polishmike]

i think its hitting every store by the 9th

there is a store locator and it doesn't list every store. i was told that woodbridge, nj store won't have it.

[rocker4life]

yeah i have observed that too,i mean,i would understand it if their women but they are not.their womens line seems to be better

[super]

god..Uniqlo needs to open up stores in SF and LA. H&M is cheap and stylish but Uniqlo is cheap, stylish and QUALITY (for the price).

[polishmike]

i agree that uniqlo has way better quality but they still don't have the selection. i buy all my basic t's, hoodies, long sleeves, socks at uniqlo but if i want to get cheap, well cut dress pants for work i go to h&m. same with dress shirts, uniqlo has only few to choose from, h&m has many different models. i don't buy blazers at neither but from what i saw h&m ones were better than uniqlo. on the other hand uniqlo has really nice cardigans.

[onemancult]

Is it me or does their women's stuff seem to be always better?

always, no matter what. their womenswear is ten times better than menswear, in every single department. i'm always arguing the point that men have a harder time shopping for clothes not because they hate shopping, but because there aren't as many options for guys out there. a chick can shop in the shittiest, cheapest store and still put together something fashionable. men don't ever have that option.

[jo3 b]

isn't that like a universal truth? if it wasn't for the fun of the hunt, i think i'd much rather be a stylish woman thena stylish man.

oh wait, one man cult said that

[sycamore no more]

Uniqlo doesn't seem to have a lot of variety from what I've seen. I agree with polishmike that H&M has way more models.

[onemancult]

Uniqlo doesn't seem to have a lot of variety from what I've seen. I agree with polishmike that H&M has way more models.

the flagship opening in a week should have the type of variety that rivals H & M.

so far, the capsule stores in NYC have been really basic, and the Jersey stores

aren't considered flagships, so they don't receive as wide a range of clothes, as

far as i know.

Checked out the collection today in Toronto when I saw the huge crowd inside. Madhouse in there but managed to try on the trench and the black suit. Fit and material were terrible as expected and didn't pick up anything.
