Yesterday, some of you may have witnessed H&M sending sign-bearing, fashion soldiers clad in white aprons marching through high traffic neighborhoods in your city. 300 people hit the streets of San Francisco in anticipation of this week’s launch of Maison Martin Margiela with H&M. While San Francisco was the only US city that had the demonstrations, eight other countries like Hong Kong and Singapore also hosted similar marches in anticipation of next week’s global launch.
Hong Kong had a pretty cool concept, they had local actor/singer Shawn Yue shoot the demonstration and I spot a couple of celebrities in the mix. Wish H&M did this in NYC! It would’ve been so cool!
The collection consists of apparel and accessories for both men and women. Releasing on November 15th in around 250 H&M stores worldwide and online. Start making your wishlist, see the products and price list here.
In case you’d forgotten about the Maison Martin Margiela collaboration that’s headed for H&M stores on Nov. 15, there’s now a minute-long commercial to remind you just how cool it is.
The ad features four models dressed in the capsule collection, two of who stand in a calm repose on the streets of Paris. Another tries her best to balance on a chair in the Lucite heels from the collaboration, while a male model dances in an intersection.
Luckily, there aren’t any traffic incidents — but the sound of a speeding motorcycle whizzing past one of the models brings a little depth to an otherwise surreal experience. A look at the commercial below.
Yesterday was our first snow day in NYC and today all I still see is beautiful white in Nasty Gal‘s November 2012 lookbook images! The lookbook dubbed, Light Side of the Moon, features model Naomi Preizler, shot by photographer Devyn Galindo at New Mexico’s White Sands. GORG?! The lookbook features both new and vintage pieces, love the styling by Ashley Glorioso. Shop the lookbook at nastygal.com.
Snapbacks, sports bras, and Adidas shell tops meet vintage satin jackets, windbreakers, and sequins in our new look book here at Nasty Gal. The November Gal is a fierce angel thriving in a total eclipse and basks in a brightness that never ends.
The weather is getting chilly in NYC and it’s time to break out the jackets and thick sweaters to keep warm. Currently loving Zara TRF’s November lookbook, everything looks so good, from oversized sweaters to military jackets to casual sweatshirts. Check it out below and get inspired to go shopping!! LOVE THE FALL !

Last night, the Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection was celebrated at 5 Bleeker Street in New York City, the venue was amazing. The event was held across 9 floors at the venue at the historical building in the city’s financial district. Kanye West, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mena Suvari, Chace Crawford, Alan Cumming, Helena Christensen, Julianne Moore, Selma Blair, Doutzen Kroes, and Paul Reubens were some of the 1,000 guests that attended the magical party.
This year there was no fashion show but the collection was shown in an art and dance performance by choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and through specially commissioned art installations by Noemi Goudal and Daniel Arsham. It was pretty amazing and on the 9th floor there was a pop-up shop- LOVE! The collection is releasing on November 15th in around 250 H&M stores worldwide and online. If you can’t wait, there’s a ton of products on eBay already AND the prices are crazy!!
Previously you’ve seen the Maison Martin Margiela with H&M lookbook, now here’s a look at the full collection pieces with prices. As I mentioned before, “the collaboration presents a re-edition of iconic Maison Martin Margiela garments and accessories for men and women. Each piece is labeled with a unique tag indicating the season from which it originated, spanning 23 years since the Maison’s founding.” I love the color chart too, shades of black, white, red, nude and silver. Classic.
The overview of the collection:
– shape & volume: masculine shapes are adjusted to frame the female body.
– oversized: pieces of the masculine and feminine wardrobe are presented in oversized versions of themselves.
– process of tailoring: traditional finishing and tailoring procedures are visible.
– ambiguity: conveyed through the use of trompe l’oeil – optical illusion.
– transformation: this occurs in different ways, to offer a new use and shape for everyday objects and materials.
The collection consists of apparel and accessories for both men and women. Releasing onNovember 15th in around 250 H&M stores worldwide and online. Mark your calendars! Do you like the collection? Are you ready?
