For those anxiously awaiting all of the pink zebra-striped and clashing cheetah-printed splendour of the Kenzo X H&M collaboration, the wait is almost over. The limited-edition collection is set to launch in four H&M stores across the UAE on Thursday, November 3.

The womenswear from the Kenzo X H&M collection will be available at H&M stores in Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall, Mirdif City Centre and Yas Mall, and the menswear will only be available at Mall of the Emirates and The Dubai Mall.

While most of the designs are far too garish for the mainstream customer, there will no doubt be long queues and mad-dashes around the store, as is always the case when designer collaborations hit H&M. Doors open at 8am, and if you're serious about owning a piece from the limited-edition collection, you should be at the store bright and early, because stock — from the vibrant bohemian dresses, to the black over-the-elbow gloves emblazoned with Kenzo in bubblegum pink — is guaranteed to sell out fast.
