Three key looks from the highly-anticipated Kenzo for H&M collection have been revealed and they are purrfect.
The Kenzo for H&M collection won’t be hitting Dubai H&M stores until November, but we managed to get the first glimpse of Carol Lim and Humberto Leon’s loud and proud collaboration which feature plenty of animal print.
Not for the wallflowers among us, the three looks, which give us an insight into the collection will offer, features the signature elements synonymous with the label – vivid print and vibrant colour.
As if the collaboration wasn’t exciting enough, the look book images have been shot on a variety of artists, young creatives and activists not your usual Instagarm stars and catwalk favourites.
