ARKET

This week the first press images of H&M's new brand ARKET 

has been publiced and  I can't wait  untill the opening of their first 

store (Brussels, Copenhagen, Munich and many more will follow soon)  at  the end of

the summer at London (Regent Street) and to see more of the collection

 after the launch of their webshop!  

All the shops will also include a cafe decorated in Scandinavian style and besides

 their timeless fashion collection (that will last for several seasons)  

the stores will have shoes, accessories and home furnishings selected

 from other brands as Iittala and Duralex.  

The Chair ‘Skedblad’ (crafted from solid oak) designed by Carl Malmsten will be used to 

furnish all the cafés. The chair has been put back into production exclusively

 for ARKET and is based on original drawings from the Malmsten archives.

 fantastic Scandinavian and  industrial atmosphere

Yesterday I visited the amazing & Others Stories shop that

 recently opened its doors in Amsterdam and it felt like entering

 a candy shop when I was a little girl!! 

& Other Stories is launched in 2013 as a luxury brand of H&M 

Meanwhile, the chain has opened shops in Barcelona, 

Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Milan, Paris and Stockholm.

The shop in Amsterdam consists 650 square meters (two floors) 

where you can find the complete fashion, shoe, bag, jewellery and

 beauty collection of the brand but also clothes of guest designers as

 british Sadie Williams, swedish A-S Dåvik and Lykke Li.

definitely worth a visit if you are in Amsterdam  to create your own 

personal style or story - focusing on the whole look - or to be inspired 

by this amazing store with great attention to detail

find the whole storie here

 ps.   we have a giveaway winner :-) congratulations to...  INGRID -   you are the lucky one!
