History of H&M Limited Edition Designer Collections

H&M has always been thought of as the go-to store for people looking to stock up on stylish essentials at affordable prices. However, in 2004, the company really took "affordable style" to a whole new level by collaborating with Chanel's creative director and one of the world's most renowned designers, Karl Lagerfeld, to create an exclusive, limited edition collection of clothing and accessories for H&M. The result was a huge success, with high-traffic stores reporting that inventories of the collection were depleted within hours of its launch.

Following on the heels of the uber-successful Karl Lagerfeld for H&M collection, the trend-savvy brand has made it a point to routinely pair up with one successful designer after another to develop chic, limited edition collections for H&M that made these designers' highly coveted clothes accessible to those of us who would not be able afford them otherwise.

Ever since the inception of this brilliant concept, we have seen H&M bring in collections designed by Stella McCartney (2005), Viktor & Rolf (2006), Madonna (2007), Roberto Cavalli (2007), Matthew Williamson (2009), Jimmy Choo (2009) and Sonia Rykiel (2010).
