Marni, not quite at H&M

Mannequin praying fashionistas won't strip her naked.


Only men's wasn't looted right from the start.


Yes, I'm talking about last night's press preview of the Marni at H&M collection that will be in stores on Thursday.



With sweetheart Tasos of Posh Fashion.

As for the clothes...

...that's what most of us saw and got.

Not that I'm complaining. Partying with lots of friends, 25% off the rest of the collection, free champagne and a goody bag with half a Marni at H&M scarf weren't that bad either.



Good thing I have a sewing machine to hem that poor thing up!

Anyway, the clothes are beautiful, so I won't be the one pointing fingers if you decide to face the queues on Thursday morning. Just do your homework, lock your target and please, don't lose your dignity over a piece of silk. Happy shopping!

Jim Shi at the Marni x H&M party

Hosted by Sofia Coppola and Consuelo Castiglioni in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, last night's Marni at H&M Los Angeles party is already history, press release in my inbox and all. I'm super-excited for this particular collaboration, but press releases usually boring.

However, I opened my eyes this morning to find that fashion journalist Jim Shi was there and has been tweeting amazing pics like crazy! I thought that was a very interesting way of getting the vibe of the night, so I've decided to gather all my favorites here to share.

Clicking on any photo will land you on the original tweet, so you can read Jim's caption.












And if you're hungry for a bit more, there are a few extra pics on Jim's feed not posted here and the official twitter hashtag is #MarniatHM.

Plus the #marniathm hashtag on instagram has some serious eye-candy. Better get those iPhones out.
