All stories about "Summer 2008"

Without much by way of explanation, H&M has decided to delay the unveiling of their summer Marimekko line. The debut is now scheduled for tomorrow. According to sales people, the merch will go on display later today, with the first opportunity to buy being Friday at 9 AM. [RackedWire]

Equal parts licensing deal and tribute, H&M's 2008 summer collection featuring Finnish designer Marimekko hits H&M locations today, bright and semi-early at 10 AM. At present the scene is rather quiet up on 5th Avenue and 51st Street (right), and the windows definitely don't have the line on display yet. But, this should be exciting: vivid, retro colors, a gentle price point, and the promise of a collection joyfully fresh like a vitamin injection really should do the trick, non? Get thee to an H&M, see what you think. More to come from the scene. [RackedWire]
