Be a good sport: Alexander Wang for H&M

Following a heavily loaded fashion season and with all the couture and prêt the industry has to offer we needed a tad break. By being obsessed with sports and of course hints of Wang's eponymous collections like the oversize logos and sharp tailoring we are kicked to say that it’s finally coming out: Alexander Wang for H&M. Reachable or not yet there always comes a time atleast twice a year when we are breathlessly waiting for a seriously cool collaboration to hit the racks (be it Beyonce or Rihanna for whoever).

While sports couture as a phenomenon has never failed, we still want to the see the brilliance created by the highly coveted designer. This time around there is a sense of some undercover urbanesque activity that is surfacing. The vibe’s gone sporty chic mixed with daring boyish hints and some bold footwear. Black to grey being the all hailing colour palette mixed with activity prone accessories and thick textured neoprenes giving life to silhouettes is seemingly refreshing for the retailer. His lookbook is a complete dash into kicking start the sporty autumn season. And now we are waiting to see how quickly these pieces vanish of the racks.

Note: Now when we think of thick scuba jackets and insanely cool sweatshirts only WangxHM comes to mind.  

The collection is going to hit stores and Hm.com on 6^th November. Here’s a sneak peek into what Wang has created for H&M. 

Hermes Spring Summer 2015

Hermes has always aced the art of simplicity. The super fine constructions create an impact and the clothes stand out merely on account of stark minimalism. The highly modest rendition of the Indian tunic that opened the show aligns perfectly to the same. The fit proposition was slouch but dandy as always with a chic and understated edge. The cropped high-waited pants clubbed with a leather shirt and a white one tucked in python shorts being an apposite case in point. The leather wrap skirt ought to be a highly desired entity for those who represent and hold the highest orders in fashion. The inspiration for the season came from African tribal, courtesy of which the collection centered on smocking in silhouettes and some graphics in the print class. It was Christophe Lemaire’s concluding show for the house of luxury supremo, another high-profile exit (another one in reference being that of Jean Paul Gaultier’s). The final bow in the two cases was completely different ends of the continuum. Albeit both stuck to what the labels have represented always, a very similar thing to do if you think of it.
