VALLI BOYS

The annual high- street- meets- high- fashion Christmas is here once again — or as it’s more commonly known, the hotly anticipated H& M designer

collaboration. This year, Giambattista Valli is the guest designer and although he’s known for his women’s wear ( his fans call themselves the Valli Girls), we’re big fans of the men’s wear pieces he’s created. Just call us the Valli Boys. Flipping the norm of borrowing from men’s wardrobes for women’s clothes, Valli has explored the idea of taking pieces, patterns and

fabrics typically associated with women’s wear. Flesh pink serves as the base colour, with plenty of opportunities to mix and match from across the collection, with animal prints, flower motifs and nods to punk and military glamour across suits, outer wear and every- day wear. Maybe it’

a case of Sweet Valli High.
