(talking about Back to School shopping list!) I remember the last time I heard Cindy Crawford doing a collection it was all about the home: bedding & such. But now Cindy has stepped up her design game and she has this cute little collection with C & A all ready to drop into stores!
And you know what? If the lookbook wasn’t convincing enough, there’s this little video where she’s showing more pieces from the collection, talking through why and how she’d wear them – that’s what got to me! I loved more items than I care to admit! After all, who dresses at C & A anymore?
But here’s what I think you should do, before getting all judgmental about it: watch the video after the jump! See what she’s thinking and how she conceived this collection. And then tell me you won’t want to try it!

I want to try some of her basic pieces. No problem. I agree Kpriss.
Since I already decided to get inside C&A at last where I haven’t been since almost 20 years or more! So snobbish…;)
I liked the jackets and that T-shirt-like basic sweater as examples.
C&A has friendly price tags and it’s all about combination right and how to wear it. A friend told me their quality is the same as everywhere. She’s someone who knows this stuff. In our youth it was not that great. C&A is a youth trauma hahaha…her’s as well as mine but I caught her in something nice by C&A.
So back to my youth then when I bought certain C&A stuff and customized it until the anger of the people that paid for it. :)
The sales start tomorrow in 1500 shops worldwide. One is in my home town as I noticed today after 6pm when the shops are closed. All the C&A windows were filled with this collection. So I have a second thought if I want to wear a Cindy Crawford piece. I think not. I am gonna check out the quality though after the weekend. She also have had a line of terrible shoes for Van Haren some time ago. Brrrrr….Van Haren: another childhood trauma ;)
Really? So it doesn’t look as good as it does in the video? I wanted to check it out maybe next week? I’m not such a big C&A fan, but then again, I remember a time when they were shoulder to shoulder with H&M and so I can’t really place them lower than that. Except in their target group age? There’s where I think they aim lower than H&M.
But … my sweet girl is wearing one of my favorite tank tops from my younger days. From C&A. So I’m not the one to cast the stone, really ;).
I do like some of their basic stuff though. For mixing & matching. They don’t hold up the wear & tear test too well, though (that tank top, however, looks like new!).
I dont know if they sell the same products in all Europe. Most probably yes…
Here is Spain the quality of their product is quite bad. Awful finishings.
But in London I had seen some more interesting pieces while ago.
Is this her first ever collaboration ? why did she wait so long ?
I wish her good luck but I am unsure if it will go well.
