Thom Browne for H&M

Never thought this will happen but rumors say that Thom Browne a high-end menswear designer is doing a collaboration with a low-end mainstream store H&M. But there is no surprise, H&M has already did collaborations with brands like Lanvin, Versace and currently with Italian designer Marni. Since H&M is one of the stores that are known in the mainstream, it is nice to see that they are doing collaborations to make there clothing line more interesting and appealing. Lately I have not been feeling this store as much as before, due to the fact that most mainstream store's are known to create replicas and copies of original designs, but what do you expect from large companies like this, they always have to be on trend. Im not bashing on H&M, I like them for bringing affordable styles into mainstream. 2 years ago I remember I got a shirt from there that was very simple and great quality for the price, but now some of their clothes, such as their button down shirts are starting to have extra stitching's, fake pockets, and graphics, which are not practical and not needed at all. Also the quality may not be as great since alot of there clothing are made from imports in third world countries. But overall I am looking forward to Thom Brownes design in H&M capsule collection. Hopefully when I get a chance to go to an H&M store again, I will love to try out or even buy a piece off the collaboration. Too bad collabs always sell out a week after or so the release date. Lets see if this collection happens.....
