SONIA RYKIEL Spring 2010. Photography by Peter Stigter
Nathalie Rykiel explained the reason for the Sonia Rykiel collab with H&M: they copied her! In an interview, the creative director revealed that she told the chain that if they wanted “[their] girls to wear Sonia Rykiel from H&M, let’s let them have the real thing!” [Nylon via Fashionologie]
Valentino partner Giancarlo Giammetti has learned just how far Facebook networking stretches, especially when it involves negative press. After watching the Valentino spring 2010 show in Paris, Giammetti took to his FB page and changed his status to read “not sad … just surprised. … We have always supported the new designers and we love them, but this time we have to distance ourselves from this ridiculous circus.” After a flood of comments, Giammetti deleted his status, “…because it was becoming [too] heavy.” [The Cut] Read the rest of this entry »
Not surprisingly, Sonia Rykiel’s clothing line for H&M, which hits stores on February 20, has a lot of stripes. The French designer’s signature look is all over this making-of video in classic Breton black and white, wide stripes of yellow, pink and purple, and even sequinned pink and black. The majority of the collection in Rykiel’s stock-in-trade knitwear–dresses, sweaters, jumpsuits–but there are also candy-coloured bangles, diamante brooches and spangled berets and patent belts. Though we’re not sure if it’s going to be for sale, what we really want is the little Sonia doll, decked out in stripes, big red hair blazing. Tell us in the comments which pieces you love!

The two disputed 6126 designs. Images via WWD
Some of the items in Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 clothing line look rather familiar to a couple of designers. Black Milk Clothing’s James Lillis and designer Jen Kao both say Lohan copied their designs. The company disputes this, naturally. [WWD]
But wait! It is apparently LiLo who’s had her designs lifted. [Stylecaster]
A NY Times report surfaced yesterday that H&M in New York’s Herald Square had been mutilating and dumping unsold clothing. H&M responded, saying “We are committed 100 percent to make sure this practice is not happening anywhere else, as it is not our standard practice.” It’s worth noting that H&M is listed as a donor to Windfall, a Canadian new clothing bank.

We know we harp on a little bit about the daily barrage of fast-fashion designer collaborations, but we are quite excited for the Sonia Rykiel for H&M lingerie line that hits stores tomorrow (see hm.com for locations). Like, be at the store when it opens excited. Cute, affordable lingerie can be tough to find in a world filled with over-padded bras and bedazzled thongs, but the Rykiel pieces are so pretty and so French that we almost can’t stand it. Really, we dare you not to buy the sheer rosette bras, adorable multi-coloured stripes and blush pink silks.
