Tragic is well aware that H&M is yet to find a home down under (we’re seriously thinking of mounting a campaign). But, as fashion followers, it’s our duty to keep clued up about the latest from our High St favourite. Following successful collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Viktor & Rolf, Roberto Cavalli is taking the design reigns…
This November H&M will release a seriously limited edition collection especially crafted by Cavalli. Along with all the pizzazz that you’d expect from the Italian master, the range will be launched with an ad campaign starring a who’s who of the underground modeling world. Shot by the tragically cool Terry Richardson at Cavalli’s residence in Florence, the campaign features not one, but over 10 models including:
Theodora Richards (daughter of Keith), Erin Wasson, Julia Restoin Roitfeld (daughter of French VOGUE editor Carine), Jessica Stam, Nicolas Malleville, Sean Lennon (son of John), Jane Schmitt, Lydia Hearst, Astrid Munoz, Anouck Lepere, Ludovico Benazzo, and members of the Cavalli family.
Promising to exude ‘Cavalli’s unique and beautiful world of fashion…glamour and fantasy’, the ads launch early October. Tragic promises to keep you in the loop.
What do you think of the Cavalli/H&M partnership? Would you buy it? Or would you prefer someone else? Let Tragic know and you could win a double movie pass.
Bring on H&M. I have seriously considered trying to bring them down under on my own! I would be happy to join a campaign as they would have a ready market in Sydney.
Posted by: Juliet at October 3rd, 2007 10:17 pmYes I would definately buy it, I have some jeans, shoes & a great distressed leather handbag by Roberto Cavalli that I purchased in Paris at La Fayete. I get many comments from people about all three pieces!

Posted by: Angela Minniti at October 4th, 2007 9:03 amI like the idea of High end designers completing a line for a stores like H&M, TopShop and even Target here is Australia.
Posted by: Amba Nalbantof at October 4th, 2007 9:14 amIt makes it more accessible, opens the brand up to a bigger following and makes clothing feel a little more exclusive without the price tag
I cant wait to see the new collection by Cavalli for H&M! wow - A cavalli dress would be out of my reach but a collaboration with H&M is something I am looking forward to seeing …
Posted by: natalie at October 4th, 2007 9:51 ami love this idea but i hate the idea of not being able to access it …H&M PUHLEASSEEE come to australia we need you!
Posted by: kate jennings at October 4th, 2007 12:54 pmYes, I wish they would bring H&M to OZ loved shopping there when I was in the UK. It’s a shame that we miss out on these good ideas…
Posted by: Cathy at October 4th, 2007 2:55 pmhow cruel to offer us Cavalli for H &M but not for us locals?
