H&M X Marni: Preview Video

In the midst of fashion week and a crazy work schedule - just wanted to share the new Marni at H&M  video directed by Sophia Coppola!

Seriously - can't wait until this drops!

First Look at Victoria by Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is one of those rare celebrities that made a smooth transition from being a world famous singer into a legitimate and respected designer.  Season after season her sleek and modern dresses embrace a sense of luxury and empowerment that women hunger for.  She is soon to launch a diffusion line called Victoria by Victoria Beckham to be revealed in a full short film next Monday along with a window display at Harvey Nichols.  And unfortunately, although the line is definitely more affordable than her namesake collection, dresses are still priced between £500 and £800 (which translates to $780-$1248 USD).  From this 20 second teaser I get a sense of playful pops of color, silhouettes that are more breezy and bold graphics.

Jason Wu for Target Full Lookbook

After seeing last week's teaser images pop up all over the internet, I was more excited than ever to have a look at what all 53 pieces of the Jason Wu for Target collection would look like. Glad to say that my anticipation was not without reason. The collaboration is simultaneously classic, modern and charming. The pieces look like a welcome addition to any woman's wardrobe and they look more expensive than the under $60 price tag they are retailing for

“By working with Target I was able to create an accessible collection that reflects my sophisticated design aesthetic” said Jason Wu. “As with my main collection, special attention has been considered into every detail and I can’t wait to see girls wearing and enjoying the collection.”

H&M x Versace: Menswear Preview...All of it!

Vogue UK released the images for the H&M x Versace lineup the other day so here's everything from the menswear collection.  Like we've mentioned in the past, there's lots of prints, bold color choices, embellishments and everything that has come to be associated with the Versace brand.  Here's a look at what will be up for grabs on November 19th!

What I like:

While I was sorting through everything I realized that almost all the pieces I liked are black.  I think there's a lot going on in some of the other pieces which isn't bad - it's just not my style.

Everything Else:

 



H&M Versace: Menswear Prieview

A few images have been surfacing on the upcoming H&M X Versace collection. Like the womenswear collection, the pieces look very Versace and incorporate bold colors, graphic prints and embellishments. While I like the pieces from what I see so far - they're not really my style. Hopefully there will some cleaner/more subdued items available.

While I'm digging the cut of the suit above, I don't really know many people who would be able to pull off head to toe fuchsia. If the suit comes in black - I'd be all over it.
