Divided And Conquered

So here I am randomly searching t-internet for a dress from H&M I saw in a magazine recently, whilst I wait for some PDF's to download. I can't remember if the dress is just an H&M dress or Divided or a collaboration. I never go into the actual store so my Google searching is pretty random.

During the course of my browsing I find myself on a swedish site which has up a collection called H&M Divided Exclusive. I have never heard of Divided Exclusive. Like I said, I'm never in the shop so it might have been on the go for ages, but as I looked at the images, I admit - I was pretty shocked they were H&M. There are things in there I want. No, I need.

I may be wrong here, but is that not some mighty fine looking stuff right there? A skirt with attached suspenders? Eh yes please! Velvet Victorian style dress? I'll have some of that. It doesn't stop there - a beautifully structured Balenciaga-esque dress; ripped jeans that even I would wear (I never got on board with that whole ripped jeans thing); some fine knit leggings and the prettiest little black shorts I ever did see.

I thought the Divided stuff was for teenagers - I truly had no idea they produced stuff that looks like this. Of course, what ends up being produced and whether they end up this quality is quite another matter. However, come September it's maybe worth checking out.

Was in a couple of H&M's today, bid ones, didn't spot nothing of a sort. But I did see a short, tight, fringed dress, in purple and black, a top half of a fringed legging. And thought of you...

[dust]

I think Divided Exclusive is for the US stores, their like version of Topshop 'Unique' ??? Don't hold me to it :)

[Corrie]

They better carry those tweed studded shorts in the US or I'm gonna cry.

[Louise]

woweee, H&M! Its like finding a rather prim friend out on the town in hotpants...

[Shini]

yuh I was actually reallly surprised these were H&M, I'm looking forward to Autumm/Winter 09 now, ungrateful to Summer as it sounds... hopefully they won't be ridiculously overpriced.

[WendyB]

LOVE the jacket and velvet dress.

[sophia]

that dress with the puffed sleeves is amazing!

[Allyson]

Excellent! This is much more in the vein of Topshop than H&M, glad to see my favorite store has started to try to catch up. Can't wait until this hits stores... I'm sure I'll be tempted to buy every single piece! I particularly love the dresses, and the skirt with the garter straps...

[Ms. Smart]

I need most of those things

[twentythirtyforty.net]

OMG, can't even believe this stuff is H&M. There is some seriously fabulous s**t in there! Really gonna have to have those leggings, the vest and the jeans. And the shorts -- well, when they're that cute, I just may have to step outside my comfort zone!

[Sushi]

[Anika]

And you're right...these are ALL covetable. Mmmm
