H&M is no stranger to designer collaborations. In the past, the fast fashion label has worked with big names like Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli, Stella McCartney, Kenzo and Balmain.

This year, however, H&M chose to partner with Angel Chen. She is the first designer from China to have the opportunity, and the collection caused quite a buzz when it was released last month.
