High Fashion and High Street Fashion has always some common qualities to each other. And that is to make people look sharp. They might have different markets, but there's always a way to make them one and that is collaboration. I love High Fashion X High Street Collaborations!!!! You can have a High Fashion look in a way cheaper price! High Street Brands like H&M, Uniqlo, Topshop and many more has been collaborating with High Fashion Brands like Viktor & Rolf, Versace, Maison Martin Margiela. This collaborations met a huge commercial success. It even have some really long queue before it releases at stores. I love this idea I will make my personal favourite 5 High Fashion X High street Collaborations. This is my Personal opinion and not others.
So Let's Start
5) Jil Sander X Uniqlo (2009 - 2011)

Jil Sander may be known as very trendy yet wearable pieces And Uniqlo has been known as a lifestyle brand. So It means they have a mutual connection to each other that make this collaboration happen from 2009 - 2011. Very sheek designs by Jil Sander and a perfect execution by Uniqlo that didn't suffer the quality of the pieces. I really wish this collaboration will return. Should I start a petition online now?
4) Lanvin x H&M (2010)

This collaboration hit big! You can just see those coats & dresses and you will know this is gonna be a hit! The designs that the house of Lanvin is not trashy and it's very haute couture which worth every penny. H&M has a lot of collaborations before but this collaborations that really stand out. Just look at the pipeces at the picture below. It may not be priced as your typical H&M item but having one is definetly a steal! I hope they will collaborate again buy this time there's a menswear added.
3) Various Commes Des Garçons Collaborations

The house of Commes Des Garçons has donee a lot of collaborations with various brands from Converse to H&M to Nike. Rei Kuwakubo's Commes Des Garçons has been the favorite of these brands to collaborate with. With massive market sales it only shows how people love Commes Des Garçons and it always collaborates with common brands which is a good thing for both parties. Bringing premium designs to the masses. I'm looking forward to have some more Commes Des Garçons collaborations in the future which is most likely to happen anytime.
2) Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals

This list will not be completed without this hugely succesful collaboration of Moschino's creative director Jeremy Scott which is known for outrageous designs for the house of Moschino. Adidas reinventing their sub brand Adidas Originals is getting some serious attention from the mass since they launch this collabboration. Giving the people the famous high cut wings sneakers and it sells on a low price for a trendy couture like designs. The collaboration maybe focuses on footwear but this collaboration is too good not to mention. I'm waiting for more of their collaboration.
1) Maison Martin Margiela X H&M (2012)

When I learned about this collaboration is going to happen I went nuts! Maison Martin Margiela pieces in low price? I can't pass this out. My favourite house for casual wear Maison Martin Margiela collaborated with High Street brand H&M last 2012. The niche haute couture house is very popular with extravagant fashion shows and collections did this good deed for the masses to finally wear his designs by the common people by this collab. Again this might not be your typical H&M price line but it's very worth the penny.
