For every download from itunes, H&M will make a donation to UNICEF to enable the purchase of vaccines for children.

“I am so excited to be the face of H&M this fall. I love the street style inspired look, and that we can raise funds for UNICEF at the same time. I hope everyone downloads my song!” says Gisele.

Check out Gisele’s H&M fall campaign in this season’s must-have essentials. The tough but feminine look features “straight from the streets” inspired utilitarian coats and blazers worn with blouses, sweatshirts and pants. Love it all!

H&M Breaks Its Own Record With Enormous Herald Center Store

Rending via H&M

About a year ago, H&M announced plans for their biggest store ever: 57,000 square feet at Fifth Avenue and 48th Street. Well, a lot can happen in a year, including plans to top yourself. 🙂

The Swedish mega-retailer is now plotting a four-level, 63,000-square-foot flagship at Herald Center. Yes, the former site of Daffy’s whose owner was recently “looking for a fashion retailer, not Nordstrom Rack or Loehmann’s. They’re looking for a full-priced retailer. They would try to make a play for Topshop.”

According to a source, WWD reports that H&M wasn’t even looking for a new location but when the space presented itself, it was too good to pass up. This will be the retailer’s third 34th Street unit, joining locations at the intersections of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. As Manhattan’s 14th H&M, the Herald Center location, which will open next fall, will be unique in that it will offer all product categories.

Herald Square has seen something of a retail renaissance as of late. Urban Outfitters is planning an enormous “lifestyle center” for Broadway between 35th and 36th Streets. Meanwhile, Macy’s is funneling $400M into a makeover of its flagship (which is still World’s Largest Store at 1.2 million square feet). The district is pretty much reserved for giant national chains only, though, as retail rents are climbing to numbers typically seen in Soho and Times Square.

The design of the new H&M unit will certainly advance the changing look of Herald Square. The first three floors will be covered in a glass facade with campaign images adoring the windows like billboards. Floors four through ten will have LED light panels. The overall effect will be reminiscent of Times Square; or Tokyo. LOVE!!

Speaking of Times Square, H&M is still opening a massive 42,500 square foot unit at the base of 4 Times Square, replete with skyline-changing signage. That’s in addition to the Fifth Avenue store that’s in the works. In total, the three new units will employ 900 people. I CAN’T WAIT!!

ISABEL MARANT POUR H&M

IsabelMarantpourHM_2

H&M is proud to announce its autumn collaboration with Parisian designer Isabel Marant. With her effortless style, Isabel Marant has created a widely influential and successful take on Paris chic. Mixing urban attitude, boho elegance and rock ‘n’ roll spirit, she delivers a genuine French allure. For H&M, Isabel Marant will create a wardrobe of must-have pieces inspired by her signature style. Available from November 14, 2013, in around 250 stores worldwide and online, the collection features clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.

“I am flattered by this collaboration: H&M works with the best designers and this invitation is an exciting honour. I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one’s own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality” says Isabel Marant.

“We are excited to have Isabel Marant as a guest designer at H&M. The way she mixes different elements in her collections, creating a style that is effortless and urban, makes her very contemporary. She has a fantastic eye for ethnic detail and the rare ability to create something that people really want to wear. We are sure the H&M customers will be enthusiastic about this collection” says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M.

Born and raised in Paris, Isabel Marant started customising her own clothes while still at high school. A graduate of the famed Studio Berçot, Marant worked her way up the fashion system starting with a jewellery line, then adding knitwear, finally launching her eponymous collection in 1994. Today she runs an internationally successful fashion powerhouse with a string of boutiques worldwide. Her Parisian chic style, a mix of bohemia and masculine tailoring, grows in popularity season after season.
