“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M involves a Fashion Director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorization is essential: it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day”, says Anna Dello Russo.

“Without a doubt, eyewear is an important accessory because it can change your whole look, and I think accessories are the most important part of a woman’s wardrobe. The beauty of Eyebobs is that the price points allow for different frames for different looks,” says Ms. Apfel.
