Radical and aggressive; am I describing the collection or the shoppers? Who knew polka dots and deconstructed lined could cause such a stir.
 
This year’s H&M designer collaboration, which featured the daring designs of Comme Des Garçons founder, Rei Kawakubo, was announced and released in 200 select stores worldwide. And just like all of H&M’s previous collaborations, this one was met with its fair share of shock and excitement.
 
But based on what we all know about Comme Des Garçons, I’m sure you – at some point or another – questioned what …

Hey Hey - it’s the weekend. That calls for hitting the streets, hitting the malls, and fighting with desperate girls for clothing that you probably don’t need or necessarily want. Well, I speak for myself.
The Olympics are on, but what better to watch than the renegade sport of…mall shopping.

With up to 50% branded goods, how could you go wrong? You can also take a look at the goods on sale located here.

The inaugural festival attracted over one million participants to over 100 events, including 10 world premieres, and 3 Canadian premieres. Luminato’s program …
