And over at Copping’s former gig, Louis Vuitton will stream its show live at 2:30 p.m. on its Facebook page. (That’s 8:30 a.m. EST [...]

The Jimmy Choo collection is still a month-plus away from landing at H&M, but plans for the next guest designer are under way: Sonia Rykiel will take on the masstige market not once but twice, first with a holiday assortment of lingerie in stores December 5, followed by a knitwear collection in February.

And it happened a few hours earlier in London—that is the Kawakubo-crazed throwing up elbows to get their hands on the Comme des Garçons line for H&M. There is something about the Swedish retailer and its collaborations that bring out the inner [...]
