Luxury lovers may be excited to hear that the KENZO x H&M line is releasing soon and the sneak peek shows how funky the pieces will be. Swedish multinational retailer H&M has a history of collaborating with luxury brands, high-end designers and celebrities. The company has released a new collaborated line early every year since 2004.
The fashion house is known for its vibrancy and color and the KENZO x H&M collaboration is no different. So far the designs seem pretty close to KENZO's Fall/Winter 2016 line, with animal prints in unconventional colors like deep red and teal.
H&M collaborated lines always create a frenzy with fashion lovers lining up on opening day each November. From the looks of it, the KENZO x H&M collaboration will be just as profitable as its funky street fashion vibe directly appeals to the Millennial and Gen-Z masses.
