ALEXANDERWANGxHM CELEB EDITION

"It's real, it's true, it's happening: ALEXANDER WANG is the new guest designer for H&M. Our beloved maître of minimalistic street couture is going to launch a collection for women and men in cooperation with the Swedish fashion company on November 6, 2014." That was the headline of my first AWxHM post. Months later we actually got our hands on the long awaited items from this year's most hyped collaboration. Our favourite celebs were lucky enough to get the pieces straight from the manufacture. They spent weeks teasing us with their super exclusive tops and leggings on Instagram and Facebook. Rihanna, Kseniya Sobchak, Elena Perminova... the fashion crew is just as obsessed with the items as we are! ;) So let's recap the best AWxHM looks. Who was the first? Who was the best? Which look made us actually buy the pieces?

Let's go back to... 07.09.2014: Rihanna wearing the cropped tube top and logo print leggings in NYC- The queen of extravaganza and 24/7 sexiness added a lot more hype to the collection. I love how she just stepped out, running around NYC like it's no big deal. It was a BIG deal! Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle and NYLON posted the pics and reached an insane amount of clicks within minutes. What about the look itself? Well, I will never understand the function of the taupe Gucci bag in this outfit. Seriously RiRi, what were you thinking? You could have at least picked a black Chanel. ;) All in all: A worthy and loud debut, thanks to one of the (hands-down) most influential women in 21st century fashion.

It seems like every girl in NYC is head over heels in love with the items. But AW has also a lot of support from the West Coast: Check out Fergie wearing the logo print dress with a Givenchy bag, Dior shades and heels from her own footwear line - This girl is G L A M O R O U S. (IG @fergie)

The Russian queen of AWxHM is definitely the stunning Elena Perminova. Her instagram is full of the desired pieces. Check out @elenaperminova (IG) wearing the amazing sunglasses on vacation with her husband and rocking the backpack while running errands in New York (2nd pic: with supermodel Maryna Linchuk).


Moscow for Wang
Kseniya Sobchak is known for being 'the first'. She was the first to wear Tom Ford for Gucci as a teenager and now she was the first to wear AW for H&M during her workout. Agnia Ditkovskite has a lot to be admired for. She's got the banging body, perfect husband (super beau Aleksey Chadov) and the logo print skirt and top combo. My all time favourite Russian beau and style icon Vlad Lisovets looks unbelievable wearing the collection. I'm so in love with his flawless sense of style. He's got the perfect look to pull the items off like a pro.

Keep your eyes open, there is barely an it-girl without an AW pic in her instagram grid. Alexander Wang for H&M - Believe the hype. ;) I wish you guys a beautiful weekend.

ALEXANDER WANG FOR H&M

Here it is: The long-awaited first preview of Alexander Wang's collaboration with H&M. What do you guys think? I feel like this should be called Alexander Wang's boot camp/ wanderlust chic (by hm.com).

Don't get me wrong, I'm obviously loving 93% of what I've seen so far, but I really hope that there will be a little bit more to the collection than that. Remember when Alexander Wang was THE insider for sexy cocktail wear? There was this one blue/black stretch dress he designed for his SS 2009 runway show. It was the it-piece of every single exquisite get-together from Paris to Tokyo. This dress represented everything I loved about that time: Alexandra Richards' style, Mark Ronson's music and cool NYC parties hosted by Nylon Magazine. I kind of miss that AW and after seeing those H&M pics I just have to raise the question: Where is the sexy Alexander Wang?! Where is the basic asymmetric black dress that works with both Givenchy heels and Celine sneakers?

Ok, I admit I love those stunning laced boots (look Nr. 3), I love that backpack and I can work with that jumper. And for those of you who loved AW's latest collections, this collabo is a real hit. The leggings with the logo print are highly inspired by this year's pieces. The logo wear became a signature part of the current collections.
That's what I've always loved about him, the incredible versatility of his fashion. Alexander Wang can be everything from futuristic and avant-garde to sophisticated and sexy. At the end of the day it's all about the way you style the pieces individually. Speaking of the H&M collection: What about a black slim fit suit, some killer heels and this sporty tube top? Iggy Azalea will make it super hot, Leandra Medine will show us how to do it en Vogue and Kate Bosworth will rock it with her casual hipster wardrobe. Can't wait to see the looks you guys will put together! ;)

Well I guess there is always a way to make it whatever you want to make it. ;) So guys, I really don't want to judge too quickly, let's just wait for the other pieces to hit the Internet. Anyways, the 6th of November is going to be a fashionista's Christmas. ;)
What is your favourite piece? How do you feel about the line? Stay tuned for more updates & have a great weekend! ;)

RIHANNA FOR BALMAIN SPRING SUMMER 2014

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to another episode of my morning news! ;) Today we talk about a great fashion maison. BALMAIN- The Maître of timeless glamour, Parisian party chic, rockstar luxury and hip hop gold. To me, Balmain is absolutely irreplaceable! I feel like every collection makes you say 'That's so Balmain', but there is no repetition, it's different every season. That is the great art of being an established successful couture label. The upcoming collection is a sophisticated and young tribute to the 80's: Houndstooth in soft summery colours, big gold cuffs and necklaces, a little see-through, pointed metal cap toe boots and a lot of denim! ;) So exquisite... so BALMAIN!

But hold on, it gets better. Fashion icon and hit artist Rihanna is the face of the spring summer 2014 ad campaign... gorgeous! Badgal RiRi is a good friend and muse of creative director (handsome genius) Olivier Rousteing. Balmain is perfect for her! I can't wait for this summer, it will be a good one. ;)

Have a beaut' day!
