H&M News

H&M have revealed who their new designer collaboration is with and it is . . . Alexander Wang! The news was revealed yesterday via Instagram, sorry for not writing about this before but yesterday was my birthday so was out enjoying the sunshine in Brighton. Alexander Wang the current creative director for the brand Balenciaga is said to be planning a collection of both menswear and womenswear and also a number of great accessory pieces.

Instagram has played a huge part in the announcement of the last few H&M collaborations, they clearly know how to use their social media to create a buzz. It is also mentioned that Iggy Azalea is set to perform under a banner about this collaboration today at Coachella festival in the US, maximum promotion already I see.

Now we have to wait a while as this collection is only being unveiled on November 6th 2014, date for your diary there, but I'm hoping there will be a few photographic treats for us of this exciting up and coming collaboration. 

Seeing as we have no images for this I've decided to do my top 3 pieces from Alexander Wang's current collection and top 3 pieces from New Arrivals's at H&M. Starting with Mr Wang my top three pieces at the moment are . . .

Number one we have this awesome asymmetric top. This piece is on trend in this pastel shade and adds something a little different to a top and trousers combo. This cotton-pique top is edgy and modern in its cut and construction, the draped asymmetric overlay also conceals a built in triangle bra so very practical. Number two we have this cute and feminine lightweight cropped cotton top. Again this piece is cut in a lovely pastel blue shade, but this time the design feature is the wonderful pleats that form just on the bust line. The pleat detailing on this top is just so simple but really adds so much to this piece by creating wondrous volume and freedom of movement. A great summer piece! Lastly in third place we have one of Wang's accessories, I chose this back pack, which are in right now, this smooth grey leather 'Prisma' styled backpack is perfect for everyday life. Build and designed for practical use it has a central compartment for all your essentials. It can also be carried by the top handle for maybe when you're dashing on and off the tube in rush hour. Wang designs perfectly for city living and compliments the architecture and structure of the city around us in his pieces. I cannot wait to see his collaboration with H&M!

Now to H&M's new arrival pieces . . .

Number one I just love! This long sleeved dress is just so amazing I love the shape of the wide circular skirt contrasted with the tailored shirt like top of the dress. Cut from seersucker and featuring woven stripes it is just so fresh and fun. It features a seam at the waist and buttons up the centre front and on the cuffs, a great dress this is very much going to the top of my H&M wishlist. For number two I chose this interesting spring take on the trench coat. This sleeveless trench is very feminine and would look great just thrown on top of a dress or trouser / top combo. Fastened with a tie at the waist, this coat also has draped lapels on the front, sewn on shoulder tabs and a vent at the back to allow full movement this is an investment piece. Stunning, elegant and uber stylish this should be on any working girls must have list. Finally for my number three position I chose this dress from their new Conscious collection. This sleeveless number is bright and fun, and with the fabric featuring a slight sheen it also looks very luxurious. The dress is longer at the back and drapes from the neck, the front of the dress also features a decorative metal jewel again adding to the luxurious design. This is the perfect dress for up and coming events, weddings and parties. Accessorize with gold bangles and a gold statement ring or earrings and some gold shoes and you are ready to go. I've got my eye on this piece you might be seeing it on my new buys soon.

Are you looking forward to this collaboration?
