To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Force 1, Nike has teamed up with Be@rbrick on a new capsule collection including limited versions of the Nike Lunar Force 1, the Nike Destroyer [...]

Marni x H&M

One of my first ever posts for Obsessed with London was on an H&M collaboration (that time it was Lanvin’s), ever since Rei Kawakubo’s collaboration 3/4 years ago, the queuing around the block has been a mainstay on my calendar each year (although that allotted time seems to get longer every year). But if we [...]

Lanvin x H&M

H&M have collaborated with some of the world’s finest, our particular highlight was CDG’s collaboration a couple of years back… still very bitter that an ex girlfriend (http://365daysoftokyo.posterous.com/ – go and give her grief) shrank my CDG x H&M cardigan… but I should probably get over that!
