Earlier we introduced you to **[Madonna's H&M label, M](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonna-hm-fashion-line)**. Now the ad has been released, and... well, it's a little weird... It's not a usual ad, but it's so "electro" that you will fall in love Madonna just as you did with her last album. Madonna continues to reinvent herself and epitomize cool.

**Implications** - Celebrities are increasingly expanding their commercial brand into other industries; musicians, who often become style icons, are the best examples of this cross-branding phenomenon. Madonna, who's made a career out of reinventing herself, joins fellow [musicians-turned-fashion-designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi-lovato-x-amazon) Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, Russell Simmons, Nelly and Travis Barker with this lifestyle-oriented clothing line.
