H&M Design Awards 2015 Winner – Ximon Lee

Ximon Lee, the first menswear designer to win the H&M Design Award, launches a special eight-piece collection with styles for both men and women. Ximon worked closely with the H&M design team to develop a line that celebrates his passion for structure, fabric and volume.

“I am thrilled with Ximon’s collection for H&M. His bonded fabrics and structured shapes are really exciting, and show exactly why Ximon won the H&M Design Award,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M.

The collection encompasses the theme of denim and embroidery, and each piece can be worn as a full look or styled together to create a unique ensemble. Key items include a cotton top printed with an oversized denim rib, a pair of structured denim trousers with chunky zips, jersey leggings with a denim feel, and a jacquard knit with an all-over print.

Ximon is the fourth winner of the H&M Design Award, an annual prize that was founded to support and encourage design graduates at the very beginning of their careers. In addition to developing his collection for H&M, Ximon also received a prize of €50,000 and showcased his collection at Fashion Week in Stockholm. The young designer is now in the process of setting up his own label and continues to pursue a career within the fashion industry.
