This morning, H&M confirmed its latest designer collaboration will be with Italian fashion brand Moschino. The news was first revealed on Saturday evening at Jeremy Scott’s 11th annual party at Coachella.
“The announcement, which is always one of the most anticipated on the fashion calendar, came via an Instagram live call from Gigi Hadid to the designer. Both were dressed in looks from the Moschino [tv] H&M collaboration, giving a first taste of the playfulness and humour – synonymous with Scott’s designs – that we can expect to see in it.”
Prices will range from approximately $45 CAD to $540 CAD. “There’s a silver sequinned parka dress,” Scott told Vogue. “Denim pieces are all twisted into something else. Puffers and jackets are reconfigured into cropped things or double-long things. There’s a sportswear-with-evening kind of feeling, like a hockey jersey with a train.”
H&M’s creative advisor, Ann-Sofie Johansson says,”the partnership is the perfect collaboration for fashion right now” and mixes “pop, street culture, logos and also glamour”.
The Moschino x H&M collection will be available online and in-store starting November 8th. Now we wait.
We all know the old saying you can’t judge a book by its cover, however it doesn’t mean we’ve never been tempted to buy beauty products based on their packaging alone (and if they work great too, that’s a bonus!) Whether it be a perfume bottle that can function as a vanity display piece or lipstick tube you’ll want to be seen taking out of your purse, we’ve put together a list of 8 new beauty products with packaging so cool you’ll want to Instagram them asap.
Dr. jart+ – Shake & Shot Rubber Masks

Korean brand Dr. Jart+ is known for making some of the best and weirdest-looking skincare products around, and its new Shake & Shot masks are no exception. Sold in bright slurpee-inspired cups with cute (and slightly terrifying) baby faces on the lids, this product packaging gets major cool points.
Buy it: Dr. Jart+ Shake & Shot Rubber Masks, $15.00, at Sephora
MOSCHINO – Gold Fresh Couture fragrance

Sure a cleaning spray bottle is nothing to run home about, but what about if it’s gold? In the third instalment of their Fresh line, Moschino’s Gold Fresh Couture fragrance is definitely more baller than the previous versions. If you want it just to have as a prop in the background of Insta pics, we don’t blame you.
Buy it: Moschino Gold Fresh Couture 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray, $86.00, at Sephora.com
FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA – Starlit Hyper-Glitz Lipstick
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaJ1l1CFLDE/
Imagine how cool you would look pulling this Fenty lipstick out of your bag during a night on the town? With a holographic, octagon-shaped tube, Rihanna definitely delivered with this baby. Oh and FYI it’s limited edition, so go click “add to bag” it before it’s gone!
Buy it: Fenty Beauty By Rihanna Starlit Hyper-Glitz Lipstick, $24.00, at Sephora
TOO FACED – Unicorn Highlighting Stick

Too Faced is a brand synonymous with awesome packaging, and let’s just say they did not disappoint with the Unicorn Highlighting Stick from their new “Life’s a Festival Collection”. Not only is the starry metallic tube super cute, but the stick itself has a whimsical spiral design meant to resemble that of a unicorn horn.
Buy it: Too Faced Unicorn Highlighting Stick, $39.00, at Sephora
MUGLER – Aura Mugler Eau de Parfum
https://www.instagram.com/p/BfBY31nA5ea/?taken-by=muglerofficial
Does this Mugler perfume bottle not remind you of an emerald version of the heart of the ocean from Titanic? Regardless of whether the actual fragrance smells good (it has great reviews), the eye-catching bottle begs to be displayed on your vanity 24/7.
Buy it: Mugler Aura Mugler Eau de Parfum, $85.00, at Sephora
Glossier – You Perfume Solid
https://www.instagram.com/p/Be9CBenBju8/
Glossier’s first fragrance, Glossier You, is now available in a travel-friendly solid format which you’ll never have to worry about leaking in your handbag. Encased in a cute pink compact that has been “sculpted to perfectly fit the curve of your palm and thumb,” the packaging of this fragrance epitomizes the cool, minimalistic vibe Glossier is known for.
Buy it: Glossier You Perfume Solid, $29.00, at Glossier.com
TARTE – Foil Finger Paints Shadow Palette
https://www.instagram.com/p/BfEDk-gguoF/
Featuring turquoise beads and stones along the entire top of the lid, this aquatic-themed palette from Tarte’s “Rainforest of the Sea Collection” is just too pretty to pass up. The shadow selection is also gorgeous, giving us another reason to purchase.
Buy it: Tarte Foil Finger Paints Shadow Palette, $52.00, at Sephora
KKW fragrance – CRYSTAL GARDENIA FRAGRANCES
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbud8KFFWea/?taken-by=kkwfragrance
Housed in frosted geometric bottles resembling quartz crystal, Kim Kardashian’s KKW CRYSTAL GARDENIA FRAGRANCES were made to be shared on your social feeds. Kardashian’s KIMOJI Hearts Perfumes for V-Day had super instagrammable packaging too, but unfortunately, those ones are sold out (obvs).
Buy It: KKW Crystal Gardenia, Citrus or Oud 30mL, $35, kkwfragrance.com

Fashion around the world is constantly changing to be new and different. Designers love to shock their audience — and it’s almost expected. Runway designs are almost always showing off exuberant and extravagant pieces. But when is it too much?
Apparently, household items are becoming a big (yet unusual) trend in fashion these days. Creative director, Jeremy Scott of Moschino has created a clear dry cleaning cape and dress combination that is now deemed “high fashion.” It seems to provide some sort of protection for the garment since it can’t be worn alone. Glamour Magazine reported that this isn’t the first time he has turned regular items into fads; previous examples in his portfolio include Uggs and My Little Pony. The best part is, it only costs $700! Makes complete sense, right?

The dress (or known as the “cape sheer overlay dress”) made its first appearance at Milan Fashion Week as part of a collection inspired by trash. We aren’t sure how far it’s going to go but it seems to be making its way around the internet, at least. The Italian designer isn’t the first to come up with high-end versions of household items; Tiffany & Co. created a luxury section featuring home goods that included a $450 ruler and a $600 silver first-aid box without any first-aid items inside, according to Glamour magazine.
It’s now being sold by popular online retailer ShopBop in black but doesn’t feature the slipcover. Don’t worry, it’s not any cheaper in case you were wondering. Now, we just have to wait and see if it catches with the general public.
Is it FLASH or TRASH?

Gucci may be using memes to sell their latest collection but the internet’s latest reaction to the luxury label’s Sock Heel doesn’t have us sold.
Cosmopolitan featured a stream of Tweets bashing and making fun of the Gucci disaster. Interestingly, I think what partially makes the Gucci Sock Heel and other designers’ shoes ugly is the price – it’s one thing to be an ugly shoe but to have an astronomical price as well, well that makes that same shoe a joke.
Below we’ve compiled a roundup of some of the ugliest (and most expensive) shoes on the market right now.
Boots by Balenciaga (Image: REX Shutterstock)
Who: Balenciaga
What: Spring 2017 Square Toe Thigh High Boots
How Much: $1,895.00 US
I actually like these boots but when shown to a friend of mine, the friend laughed non-stop, going on to say how much she hates them and that if she ever saw someone wearing them in public she would start quacking like a duck for every step they took.
Shoes by Gucci (Image: Saks Fifth Avenue)
Who: Gucci
What: Queercore Brogue Knee Boot
How Much: $1,890.00 US or $2,140.00 CAN
I feel like these boots could have potential but the execution just isn’t there. They look like something Wednesday Adams or Matilda would wear.
Gucci Loafers (Image: Gucci)
Who: Gucci
What: Princetown Slipper
How Much: $840.00 US or $1,005.00 CAN
I think it is so sad that the Gucci Princetown fur loafers for both men and women are a thing. Without fur? They look funky and quirky, but the fur doesn’t even look real – it looks like Donald Trump’s hair! Gucci really must have saved cutting corners and feeding what looks like rat fur to trend-obsessed consumers.
Margiela Boots (Image: The Rosenrot)
Who: Margiela
What: Tabi Boots
How Much: $1,130.00 CAN
These have been around for some time, and to be frank I’ve hated them since laying eyes on them. While they take their inspiration from Japanese tabi which are socks worn with sandals that feature straps that go between your big two and your second toe, they just don’t have the same archaic and cultural charm. This boot reminds me of pig feet, goat feet, camel toes, and just any ungulate in general. They are currently available in black on SSense.com for $1,130.00CAN.
Barefoot Finger Sneakers (Image: Vibram)
Who: Vibram
What: Fivefinger Barefoot Shoes
How Much: $130.00 CAN
How absurd… GQ said it best when they wrote, “We always knew Vibram’s toe-shoes were creepy and ugly, but now we know they’re sinful in other ways, too. The shoemaker recently settled a class-action lawsuit for $3.75 million stemming from claims that their gross shoes for chimpanzees “reduce foot injuries and strengthen foot muscles.” Again, how absurd.
Christopher Kane Crocs (Image: Selfridges)
Who: Christopher Kane
What: Crocs stone-embellished rubber sandals
How Much: 385.00 CAN
So apparently Christopher Kane teamed up with Crocs and I’m just finding out about this and laughing so much. Less at the final product that is the brood of the collaboration and more at the price of the product from this collaboration. $385.00CAN for rubber Crocs?! I don’t care if Victoria Beckham and Rihanna both wore them together enjoying splashes of champagne in St Barths on a super yacht – and that’s $385.00 CAN on sale, for rubber. No, thanks.
Marni Boot (Image: SSense)
Who: Marni
What: Black Velcro Platform High-Top Sneakers
How Much: $1,190.00 CAN
I don’t know if it’s the price that’s outrageous or the shoe itself that is actually outrageous? Shockingly, when considering the price, the entire shoe is comprised of man-made fabrics, which seemingly doesn’t exemplify a state of being luxurious. Appalling.
Prada Sandals (Image: Prada)
Who: Prada
What: Satin Sandal
How Much: $990.00 US
Miuccia Prada, you’re wild for these.
Moschino Pumps (Image: LuisaviaRoma)
Who: Moschino
What: Embroidered leather pumps
How Much: $1,745.00 CAN
Unless it is a themed party and you have $1,745.00 CAN to toss on some clownish clogs, let’s stay away from these. Weird.
Dolce & Gabbana (Image: Luisaviaroma)
Who: Dolce & Gabbana
What: Pineapple Clog
How Much: $2,791.00 CAN
I like pineapple but not this much. Fun fact: When you eat pineapple, it’s eating you. Apparently, the acid of pineapple is quite strong. Who else remembers the French speaking pineapple L’ananas that helped teach us speak French in grade 4?
Balenciaga (Image: Net-a-Porter)
Who: Balenciaga
What: Thigh High Clog
How Much: $2,145.00 US
Balenciaga as a brand is very hit and miss – some collections are a total hit and others are a total miss. While some shoes from this collection were epic, this clog boot is straight clownish, and for those who don’t want the thigh high version, there’s an ankle one too available on Net-A-Porter. #SurgicalMaskEmoji
