Marni for H&M!

The fashion world is very fast pace as you all probably know, so it's really no surprise that H&M is already planning for their Spring 2012 designer collaboration! Seems like only weeks ago we were drooling over Versace for H&M... oh wait that was!

H&M took to twitter to announce the big news of the collaboration this week on Monday! The tweet featured the hashtag #MarniatHM, and a video to give followers a fast of the action! They are so eager to show it and trust me I think we are all anxious to buy it!

Versace for H&M Collection

H&M has collaborated with some amazing designers in the past from Lavin to Jimmy Choo, but now H&M is welcoming another extraordinary brand to the pack: Versace! The collection features old archives to bring that classic Versace look to the forefront of the collection!

"The Collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've [pulled] from the archives--as well as from more recent collections--some of the icons of Versace such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M's wide audience will make these pieces their own." -  Donatella Versace

Shopaholic: Kate Spade Wedding Belles (and whistles)

Inspired by the NY Times Critical Shopper reviews, The Society will be introducing a new column entitled: Shopaholic, where we go ahead and give our own reviews to stores, introductory collections, new concepts, and all the brick and mortar establishments we love to shop!

I don't know if I'm more confused by the Top Hat or the dress that mannequin's wearing, or that POOF headband...

To kick things off I decided to stroll through SoHo today and discovered something quite interesting, Kate Spade's "bridal' collection. A great place to start I decided, until I actually went in and discovered how puzzling the whole concept actually is in-store!

Rony's Choice: Willow. NYFW Day 1

The parties are about to begin, and the shows are still not over yet! Though Irina Shabayeva and Tim Hamilton are still scheduled to show tonight, I already have my favorite collection for NYFW Day 1, and the award goes to Willow!

With her use of muted colors, and fantastic tailor, this equestrian collection is refreshingly modern.

Kit Willow's inspiration tends to be very nature-centralized, and this season this is what she had to say about the incredible Fall 2011 presented today,

"I'm still interested in the connections between humans and animals, but this season, I wanted to explore the very formal way we dress to ride these beautiful horses."

The inspiration is made clear in the tight cropped riding jackets and pants, along with the way Kit Willow brings modernism to a classical Equestrian look. The materials were spectacular as well, featuring  lazer-cut leather, suedes, amazing silk prints, and blended metallic wools.

THOSE PANTS!! Ugh I need some Kit Willow in my life, I could rock it.

The shapes were also very facinating, featuring some pants that were out of this world! (left pic) Though she is typically known for having more edge than this collection shows, I personally fell in love with her use of clean shapes, perfectly balanced muted colors with splashes of teal, and the well tailored seperates that are bound to bring this woman to stardom one day soon.

Comment below on your favorites of the day! I'm off to some parties and will report back tomorrow!
