Here at M.I.S.S. Crew we live and breath fashion so we thought we’d give you a glimpse of what we wear when we’re out on the town. We won’t be taking daily pics and I won’t be posing for the camera - I don’t really like being in pictures. Instead, my man, One Hit Wonder, will be taking detail shots of my outfits as we’re making our way out the door. For my first post I’m showing an outfit I wore to dinner the other night. Check out all the photos after the jump!

What I Wore:
Necklace: Multi-strand, Office Tramp
Jacket: Black Leather Bomber, Keednim
Sweater: Black Cashmere Crew, Banana Republic
Jeans: Black Stretch High-Wasted Jeans, My Lovely Jeans
Socks: Black Socks w/ White Dots, H & M
Shoes: Red Flats, Irregular Choice
Bag: Blue Leather Clutch, Marc Jacobs

H&M has announced their next designer collaborator…and what better than Comme Des Garcons?!

This famous Japanese avant-garde label, will be providing a lovely range of men’s, women’s, and childrenswear, accessories and a new unisex fragrance, all thanks to Rei Kawakubo.

The collaborative line will be releasing in Tokyo (in honor of its Japanese roots) in November and will be launched everywhere else a few days later.

Luckily, I know someone who works at H&M and will be getting first dibs!

The H&M tribute to the Finnish textile company, Marimekko dropped today in stores world wide! Marimekko has been around since the 1950’s designing bold patterned textiles. The H&M design team dove into the extensive Marimekko archive and has created a collection of 70 pieces for men, women and children. See my fav picts after the jumpe and see some of the original goods from the 1980’s here!

The collection features t-shirts and hoodies designed by Rihanna, Timbaland and other well-known designers, musicians and artists and will be available in select H&M stores beginning January 31st.

“Supporting YouthAIDS through the Fashion Against AIDS campaign was a great way to encourage my fans to join me in the fight against HIV/AIDS. I love that H&M is providing a fashionable and easy way for young people all over the world to get involved in this worthy cause,� says Rihanna. via nitro:licious

H&M’s designers have created a beautiful collection with Marimekko’s popular patterns from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s for the summer 2008. The collection of some 50 products will be sold in H&M’s stores on all 28 markets from April 2008.

The collection, which has a graphic overall look, will comprise airy summer favourites such as wide 70s dresses, tunics, skirts and shorts for women. For men there will be classic summer shirts and shorts. There will be some items for children as well and all comes with accessories to match.

With this much anticipation and secrecy being placed on Roberto Cavalli’s capsule collection for H&M, the sneak previews that having been popping up practically every week are stating to get a little annoying , which is why I’ve hesitated to post any images, but these sketches courtesy of French Vogue are too lovely not to share. The outwear pieces look gorgeous and will probably be what I spend most of my money on, but it would be silly not to invest in at least one of Cavalli’s signature animal print garments. The collection, with 20 men’s and 25 ladies’ pieces including underwear and matching accessories, is all about Roberto Cavalli’s expressive and sensual signature style.

The Roberto Cavalli for H&M collection will be available in around 200 selected H&M stores worldwide starting November 8, 2007.

There are some mixed opinions floating around about the upcoming collaboration between Roberto Cavalli and H&M…but HELLO! Who can really afford Cavalli on the real real?! By the look of the pieces in the shots above (and as a fan of black streamlined pieces), I am a bit excited for the drop.

Check the Cavalli x H&M Sneak Peek Video on YouTube.
