FIRST LOOK H&M X SWEDISH HASBEENS
The great clog debate continues - this time in a fast fashion chain.
When we first brought up the idea of clogs, there was a minor revolt on the site (refresh your memory by clicking here) - but apparently not enough to stop the fashion masses from (sorry) clogging on.
This season, the traditional wooden shoes were all over the runways, as well as on trendy celebs like Kate Moss and Chloe Sevigny. And let's face it, they are super-comfortable, a relief after last season's do-and-die stilettos.
Sensing the next Big Thing, H&M recruited Swedish Hasbeen designers illa Wingård Neuman and Emy Blixt to make three clog styles exclusive to the chain store. They're cute. They're cheap. And they're made from environmentally sustainable materials, an exciting prospect coming from a giant corporation.
We're especially partial to the lace-up wedgies (see Image One), but we're ready to try all of them on in person, when they hit H&M stores on April 20... The snow should be cleared from the curbs by then, right?

I am NOT okay with clogs coming back into "style." I hate them. So much. Absolutely not.

Question about the former exclusive collection for H&M: Thanks!
Did you go to see Lanvin's collection for H&M?
Whether you bought a piece from the collection or not, your opinion interests me!
I'm doing a PhD on this subject and am very interested in what you have to say.
Here is the link to the Questionnaire
http://sphinx.icn-groupe.fr/recherche/lanvin-hm-en/questionnaire.htm
It will take no longer than 4 to 6 minutes and your help is very important for my study.
Thank you for completing this form!

I love clogs (especially those red ones above) but I hate wearing them. The wood is too heavy and loud. I don't want to clop heavily around town.
