The time has come——- the highly anticipated Alexander Wang H&M capsule collection lookbook is here!!!! I personally was expecting more wearable clothes from this collection- I was a bit disappointed at first, HOWEVER when I shifted my mindset and thought of it as an active lifestyle collection- it seemed much better to me at that point! The collection is super sporty and is very reminiscent of the 90’s Armani Exchange vibe with heavily branded pieces that can be worn in or out of the gym. I am SO SAD that there is no reimagined Rocco bag BUT there are a pair of reimagined Freja boots (widely sold-out) that are priced at $199 compared to the original Freja boots that were $675. They are strikingly similar, which is exciting for all of the boot lovers that never got ahold of any. I personally will not wake up early for this collection- I may buy a sweatshirt or a tank online for fun- we shall see. Will you? What are your thoughts on this collection?
Original Freja boot $675
H&M version $199
The collection includes pieces for men and women and includes everything from dresses to sweatshirts to backpacks to boxing gloves to yoga mats. If you live an active lifestyle, you are covered! Prices range from $13 for a water bottle to $350 for a leather jacket. Collection hits online and in stores November 6.
Rihanna got her hands on the collection a bit early
Attention fashionistas!!!! The next designer to collaborate with H&M will be Alexander Wang! YES! It’s true and the exciting news was officially announced this past weekend at Coachella! The collection is expected to launch online and in stores November 6. I am beyond excited about this collaboration! Mark your calendars!!!!!!!!! YIPPPEEEEEEE!
Fingers crossed that the collection will include handbags!!!!!!!! Wang’s Rocco Bag and its’s smaller sibling the Rockie bag are some of fashion’s most coveted bags and it would be fabulous if fashionistas on all budgets could carry an Alexander Wang bag of their own!
Alexander Wang’s main strength was definitely outerwear. The coats in this collection were nothing short of amazing. There were so many gorgeous button and pocket details! The stiff side swept hair and the “no eyebrow” look created an androgynous feel that left me wanting more.
Jill Stuart’s collection was feminine and flirty. I couldn’t get enough of the sparkles and textures!!!!!!! The models “undone” hair and fresh faces were beautiful as well. So pretty!

Tonight is the night people!!!!!! The CFDA Awards AKA The Oscars of fashion are happening tonight at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center! I am SO ROOTING for Alexander Wang in the womenswear and accessories designer of the year categories!!!!!! I am also ecstatic that Vera Wang is the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement award! For all the nominees and past winners CLICK HERE! Although the awards will take place this evening, they will be digitally broadcast Tuesday June 4 on Style.com. Stay tuned as I will be doing an update on all the night’s winners as well.
Now let’s move on to the good stuff- the reason why Vera Wang deserves the Lifetime achievement award …. her gorgeous masterpieces!
My all-time favorite Vera Wang gowns.
Alexander Wang owned his new creative director role at Balenciaga as he presented his highly anticipated debut collection for the French fashion house today in Paris. Wang played it somewhat safe as he paid homage to the label by “going back to the archive”( a sign of respect among fashion’s elite). The very wearable collection had some of the usual Wang street vibe to it but was very graceful and chic- So Balenciaga! Wang incorporated his own special touches of texture and some marble prints into the mostly black and white palette. The highlight for me was the shoes. I particularly loved the “T” strap and “V” strap heels!
This collection silenced many nay sayers and left the supporters hungry for more, which is exactly what a young designer strives for! Bravo Mr. Wang! Cheers to a job well done!
