Moschino and H&M join forces in latest designer collaboration

H&M announced its latest designer collaboration with Italian fashion brand Moschino at the 2018 Coachella Music festival. “Its humour meets haute couture meets the street” says Jeremy Scott (the creative director of Moschino), when talking about the collection.

Moschino will be H&M’s 18th designer partnership carrying on from previous collaborations with Versace, Alexander Wang, Jimmy Choo, Balmain and Erdem. The collection will feature Scott’s exuberant aesthetic seen in his previous work mixing “pop, street culture, logos and glamour” possibly making this collaboration H&M’s most playful yet. Scott is known for his irreverence and fun play on themes of consumerism and pop culture and will follow in the footsteps of a hugely successful 2017 Erdem collaboration with a collection including menswear, womenswear and accessories.

The collaboration will be different from previous collections but will stay true to the playfulness and humour synonymous with Scott’s designs in the form of cartoon prints, bold colours and avant-garde silhouettes. Scott says it is a “radically innovative TV concept enmeshing social and traditional media to create a multi-platform takeover- a captivating new ‘zapping’ experience for the digital world”. The design and concept behind the pieces are part of what makes the collection so different. “There’s a silver sequined parka dress. Denim pieces are all twisted into something else. Puffers and jackets are reconfigured into cropped things or double-long things”.

The Moschino X H&M collection will be available online and in-store from November 8th.
