As we gear up for another H&M designer collaboration, I’m listing all designer collaborations we’ve seen from the high street giant since it began teaming up with luxury labels nearly 20 years ago.
It was 2004 when H&M released its first-ever designer collaboration with the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, which set a precedent for the high street brand’s forthcoming designer collabs. Like clockwork, the brandhas continued to release at least one, if not two designer collaborations per year ever since. Each time, the collection sells out within hours and hits the secondary market for two or three times the price of the original. You have to be in it to win it.

Over the years, H&M has collaborated with some of the biggest names in fashion, from the aforementioned Karl Lagerfeld to Versace, Balmain and Stella McCartney to name a few. The most recent designer collaboration came in May 2023, when H&M released teamed up Mugler on an exciting collection of bodysuits, cut out leggings, blazer dresses and more. Before that came the 2021 collab with Irish designer Simone Rocha, which sold out within mere hours.
We’re lucky enough to be treated to two in 2023, as it was recently announced that on a collection in November 2023. The brand confirmed the rumours with a glitzy party attended by stars including Elle Fanning, Tyga, Ashley Graham and Irina Shayk, all of whom were wearing pieces from the upcoming collection.
Who is H&M designer collaboration next?
H&M hasn’t announced their next collaborator yet, so stay tuned for updates! They typically announce their collaborations a few months before the launch date.

It had people rushing out for the couture-inspired ruffled dresses, faux-fur coats, graphic statement T-shirts and elaborate jewellery.
