Comme for H&M: Hurry Up

Comme des Garcons. Photo Credit: yusunkwon. C.C. License.The woman who designed this now wants you to shop at H&M. Immediately. Rei Kawakubo of the Japanese line Comme des Garçons has created a capsule collection for the high-street retailer, available today at 200 stores worldwide.

The 50-piece collection is heavy on black, white, navy...and polka dots. There's both women's wear and menswear in stock, plus accessories and a unisex scent. Prices peak at £200 but start as low as £15, making Rei's gothic and boundary-pushing style credit-crunch friendly.

Previous H&M collaborations (with designers including Viktor & Rolf and Stella McCartney) have sold out in days. Shoppers went wild when the Comme des Garçons collection debuted at the retailer's new store in Harajuku, Tokyo, on Saturday. Especially those who had been waiting outside since Tuesday.

Get to the Oxford Circus Tube stop immediately.
