Still, the nine-piece collection is costlier than the typical Topshop line: prices range from ₤40 for a pair of printed Blue Jersey leggings to ₤350 for a structured satin dress (below, right).

We’ve recently seen more and more designers pushing the price envelope with their fast-fashion collaborations, but this seems a little out of hand. A mass-market dress should not cost the equivalent of 550 US dollars, no matter who it’s designed by. Even Versace‘s studded leather dress for H&M cost only $299, and it was made out of a famously luxe material by one of the most prestigious design brands in the world.

Please try to shop smart: just because you’re buying from a more afforable retailer doesn’t mean you’re getting good deal.
