H&M is launching a gorgeous new designer collection in partnership with Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz - and we predict a sellout.
Spring’s just around the corner - days are already getting a bit longer and we can’t wait for temperatures to start rising at least a bit.
And to keep you dreaming of sunny and warmer days, H&M has just unveiled what we’re sure it’s going to be one of the brand’s most successful collabs of the year.
Johanna Ortiz x H&M: What you need to know
Designer Johanna Ortiz has brought her colourful signature prints to the high street brand. Think florals and botanical patterns in different shades of mustard, red, pink, green… Just what you need to lift your mood!
With prices starting at £12.99, you’ll be saving a lot as it's not even close to the £400 that’s the usual starting price for the designer’s collections.
Johanna Ortiz has said about the collection, "I’m thrilled to be able to infuse this H&M collection with effortless glamour and introduce some Latin American festivity to the H&M customer’s wardrobe. I hope customers wear the pieces barefoot and with a beautiful flower in their hair.”
The collection is comprised of amazing flouncy dresses in lively colours, which are great for spring and summer weddings, and also tops and swimwear (start packing for your summer holidays!). Of the 19 pieces, we’ve chosen our favourites, and that was a pretty difficult task…

The versatile dress
If bright tones are a bit much for you, this rose print maxi dress is your best bet. It can be worn on chilly days with tights and over a roll neck or just as it is, weather permitting (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Although we’re mad about the whole collection and can’t wait to get every single item in our shopping basket, if we had to choose one piece this would definitely be the one. Its flouncy shape and frills, the high neck and the top detail, not to mention the lovely floral print - it got us dreaming of a summer wedding in Tuscany.
