We are all (not so) patiently waiting for the GIAMBATTISTA VALLI x H&M collection to arrive this November. Our first glimpse of this dreamy collection was when we saw Kendall Jenner in one of the now-iconic dresses with Giambattista Valli at Cannes for the announcement. It was no surprise when the entire limited pre-drop sold out in minutes. Jenner shares her thoughts and feelings on the collection with us.
What is it specifically about wearing the Giambattista Valli x H&M collection that makes you feel fabulous?
I love the dramatic yet accessible silhouettes of Giambattista Valli x H&M collection, they make me feel powerful and effortless, which is what being fabulous is all about in my opinion. It’s also the personal touches throughout the collection that make me really connect to the pieces. It’s like wearing a little piece of Giamba himself!
What are your thoughts about the Giambattista Valli x H&M collection?
It’s all so beautiful. The level of detail is incredible, which is very Giambattista Valli, but there’s also this wonderful high-low mix of pieces that includes embellished sweatshirts and really fun jewellery. And it’s going to be so amazing to see all these people around the world wearing the Giambattista Valli x H&M collection. I love the idea that the Valli universe is expanding and joining forces with H&M.
What are your favorite pieces from the Giambattista Valli x H&M collection?
I can’t help but love the red tulle dress with the asymmetrical hem that I’m wearing in the campaign, but I also could see myself in the leather trousers or carrying one of the handbags.
How would you personally style those pieces from the Giambattista Valli x H&M collection?
The red tulle dress I would wear with my favorite pair of heels, but could also do some flat boots. The red leather trousers would be perfect with a vintage t-shirt and some sneakers. And for the handbags, they could go with anything really!
What was the most memorable or fun moment from the Giambattista Valli x H&M campaign shoot in Rome?
Being in Giamba’s hometown was truly something special. And he had all these amazing recommendations of places to eat or visit. It’s always fun to have an insider’s point of view of a city so we all had a great time with many laughs and memories that I’ll cherish forever.
What do you admire most about Giambattista Valli’s designs?
I admire most the creativity and humanity that Giambattista puts into each of his designs. When you see them and then get to wear them, it really has an affect on you but at the same time, you totally feel like yourself. That’s a special skill and a gift to the rest of us.
The collection will be available on November 7th at H&M 1st Avenue – The Avenues and hm.com. For more info follow @giambattistavalliparis and @hm on Instagram. Featured image courtesy of H&M.
