SAY HELLO TO GIAMBATTISTA VALLI X H&M!

H&M’s next designer collaboration is with none other than the one and only Giambattista Valli, the Paris-based master of beauty and sophistication.

The news was only revealed last night at the amfAR gala in Cannes, where Giambattista Valli and H&M’s Creative Advisor Ann-Sofie Johansson walked the red carpet together with a star-studded entourage of Kendall Jenner, Chris Lee (Li Yuchun), Chiara Ferragni, H.E.R., Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, and Ross Lynch.

In a completely new move for H&M and perhaps the fashion world, fans can enjoy the collaboration immediately (well, almost!). The brand is making the beautiful pieces worn on the red carpet available in select H&M stores worldwide and on the website on May 25^th. If you can’t catch your favorite pieces from the pre-collection launch, you’ll have to wait for the main Giambattista Valli x H&M collection worldwide launch on November 7, 2019. But we think it’s totally worth the wait.

Giambattista Valli, who was born and raised in Rome, headed to Paris in 2005 to launch his namesake line. His universe now encompasses ready-to-wear, haute couture and accessories. The collaboration with H&M is the first of its kind for Valli and also marks Valli’s first foray into menswear.

“I am excited about this collaboration: H&M gives me the opportunity to bring my vision of style and my celebration of beauty to a wider audience. The goal is to share my love for beauty and to be able to be part of everyone’s “happy moments”, to help create love stories all around the world” says Giambattista Valli.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Giambattista Valli. He is the undisputed master of haute couture with a knack for the memorable silhouette. To be able to bring his signature styles to our customers is a dream come true. We can’t wait to see their reactions to this beautiful collection” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor H&M.
