Marni for H&M

It seems that H&M just can’t stop partnering up with high end fashion designers. H&M has just announced that their next collection will be with Italian fashion house Marni.

However, the brand revealed in a press release Tuesday, that its spring 2012 designer partnership will in fact be with Marni, and will be available in stores and online as of March 8. more…

The National Ledger says that that the special may not have happened anyway, due to the busy family’s various other commitments, but since the divorce and the entire backlash against Kim, mom-manager Kris Jenner said that Kim should keep a “low profile.” more…
