H&M has tapped Sonia Rykiel as guest designer for their Winter 2009 and Spring 2010 collections. This will be H&M's eighth partnership with a high-end designer.
The winter collection will consist of lingerie and accessories, making this the first time H&M has ventured into the world of lingerie. The line will launch on December 5th, and will be available in 1500 H&M stores worldwide. The lingerie collection will simultaneously be available in Sonia Rykiel boutiques worldwide.
The Spring 2010 collection will consist of Rykiel's infamous knitwear for women and girls, as well as accessories. This collection will launch in 250 H&M on February 20, 2010.
“Sonia Rykiel is a true fashion icon who invented a signature style around femininity, Parisian chic and modernity - as well as functional, comfortable, wearable clothes", says Margareta van den Bosch, H&M's creative advisor.
Nathalie Rykiel, president and artistic director of Sonia Rykiel says, "The Sonia Rykiel pour H&M lingerie collection is the ideal way to offer the essence of Rykiel to a great number of women around the world, and a beautiful way to close the year. The knitwear collection is perfect for welcoming a colourful new season".
