June 16, 200619 yr Author Madonna has hit back at claims she is too old to represent fashion chain store H+M - her spokesperson insists the 47-year-old has more energy than an 18-year-old. The superstar was recently confirmed as the face of the Swedish company's Autumn 2006 range. But the decision has been criticised by advertising experts, who claim Madonna is too old to represent the company, whose shoppers are mainly young women. Ad guru Jerry Della Femina says, 'These kids trade in stars every two or three years, and many don't know Madonna.' But the singer's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg has hit back, telling PageSix.com, 'I defy any 18-year-old to do a quarter of what Madonna does on stage. I hope Jerry Della Femina takes a nice pill.'
June 20, 200619 yr Author Madonna and some members of her entourage will appear in an H&M ad campaign that launches in August. At the same time, the retailer will begin selling a specially designed track suit< that it created for the superstar artist. H&M stores also will sell her latest CD, "Confessions on a Dance Floor." In addition to appearing in high-end Versace campaigns, Madonna was featured in a Gap ad campaign three years ago. H&M, which has more than 1,200 stores in 22 countries, markets its affordable fashions to all consumers, including couture-conscious fashionistas. Two years ago, the brand tapped Karl Lagerfeld to design a one-off collection for its fall line. It did the same last year with Stella McCartney. This year, Dutch design team Viktor & Rolf will do the fall 2006 honors.

July 5, 200618 yr Author Brand new press release featuring few pics of Madonna and her dancers. From the H&M site... MADONNA AND HER CREW FIND THEIR ’PERSONAL STYLE’ AT H&M Madonna and her entire 150 person crew for the Confessions World Tour each found clothes that reflect their own individual styles while shopping at H&M. The international fashion retailer agreed to provide a complete wardrobe for Madonna and her ’touring family’ as part of a long term agreement that includes an upcoming advertising campaign between H&M and the Material Girl. With H&M and their world famous designers specializing in clothes for all family members, it seemed an ideal combination for the musicians, dancers, makeup artists, management and crew members of Team Madonna to have the opportunity to find exactly what they needed once they got offstage. The entire team was given the chance to choose from H&M’s latest collection which included Victorian romantics, British classics and couture inspired pieces. In addition, Madonna worked with H&M designers to create a unique track suit to wear while she’s on the road. The tracksuit comes in black, white and purple. The top (€29.90) is narrow and feminine with a yoke and gathering and the trousers (€19.90) are fitted at the top with wide legs and detailed with zippers. ’We are pleased to be able to offer this track suit to our customers by mid-August’ stated H&M’s head of design, Margareta van den Bosch. In H&M’s upcoming advertising campaign, the dancer Sophia chose a black shiny nylon jacket with metallic press buttons teamed with loose fit jeans. Fellow dancer Cloud wore a striped and grey melange T-shirt with jeans and a matching hat. Madonna’s very chic makeup artist Gina Brooke wore a black pencil skirt with a matching couture style blouse and sky high heels. Dave the Rigger chose a plain T-shirt and &denim jeans and tour production manager Chris chose a checked cotton shirt to his &denim jeans. Madonna’s manager Angela Becker selected a silk camisole and black slacks under a grey melange wool vest. H&M’s autumn collection is built around four trends: mix and match for a complete look. Retro couture inspiration - chic, coordinated, romanticism with reference from the turn of the century, Classics of the classics - British style tailoring and knitwear updated in unexpected materials and color combinations, 1980’s music scene - sleek rock style. The advertising campaign is scheduled to begin in August.
