Discount Designer
Love designer gear, but don’t quite love the prices?

The launch of this amazing collaboration, Isabel Marant pour H&M, includes loads of totally covetable pieces in Marant’s signature rock chick/Parisian chic style; in order to get the goods, you’ll need to join the queues at one of the selected H&M stores or the special Isabel Marant pop-up store in Causeway Bay and snag a coloured bracelet that dictates what time you get to shop! Can’t make it? Never fear, there’s plenty more fab H&M fashion in store – as the pop-up will be transformed into a Vintage Carnival the day after, which will last until 24 November. You won’t want to miss this fab fashion event; elbows out, girls!
