Pre-Shop the H&M Paris Show Collection Online


H&M Paris Collection

Back in February, I told you about H&M's Paris Show Collection (here), and now it's available for purchase on hm.com. This is the first major online-exclusive for hm.com since the fashion giant launched e-commerce for the US earlier this month. The Paris Show collection mixes strong tailoring with delicate dresses, and lush velvet jackets with leather pants for a modern bohemian attitude. Prices range from about $39.95 for a cotton blouse to $179.95 for a fit-and-flare skirt. Hurry, pieces are selling out already. But if you miss out this online sale, you can always shop the collection in stores beginning September 5th.
