Whitney Ambition in Margiela for H&M

Whitney Ambition in Margiela for H&M

This past Thursday

Maison Martin Margiela’s collection with H&M

launched here in Chicago and at select stores across the country.  Folks turned up as they always do to line up the night before. Like the lovely Whitney Middleton of the blog

Whitney Ambition.

She scored all kinds of rad goodies like the crazy

key ring necklace

,

circle shirt,

and the

silver candy clutch

. This last item was the most coveted at stores across the country and was the first to sell out. She was also able to nab the hot pink one for me which pretty much made my millenium.

What's interesting about this particular designer collaboration was that many of the pieces were not new designs but reissues from earlier collections.  Fabulous if you are an aspiring owner of fancy avante garde clothes, not so fabulous if you've already purchased the candy clutch when it cost more than 1000 buckaroos.

Also check out a photo I took of

Whitney over the summer at The Pitchfork Music Festival.
