Get a Sneak Peek at the Versace For H&M TV Commercial

H&M hasn’t yet released the TV commercial for its upcoming Versace collaboration, but a behind-the-scenes look at the set — complete with a few quick clips from the commercial was released. Lindsey Wixson runs on a hamster wheel, and Daphne Groeneveld is floated off a staircase by a wire — both while dressed like teenage Donatella Versace. As for the set itself, H&M’s creative director describes it best: “I think we actually used all the gold paint in London that was available for this job.”

H&M Announces New Collaboration with “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”

Designer collaborations with H&M are commonplace and even expected now. But collections based on fictional characters? Not so much, until now. Lisbeth Salander, the edgy, troubled, goth protagonist in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, has inspired a new capsule collection, WWD is reporting.

Trish Summerville, the costume designer for the US movie version ofThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (she also outfitted the Black Eyed Peas, No Doubt, Ricky Martin and Janet Jackson on their tours), designed the 30-piece collection, which will be a part of the Swedish retailer’s Divided line. For H&M, the collection was a no-brainer. “It was really great that H&M is a strong company that can afford and wanted to do some sort of collaboration with us, because it is a very controversial book,” Summerville said. “They were just like, ‘Yeah, she’s Swedish, she’s amazing, and we want to be a part of this.’”

The collection will be a more fashion-friendly version of Salander’s “dirty, worn down” look. Think hoodies, leather motorcycle jackets (in black and burgundy), boots, and a version of the Swedish/American flag hybrid t-shirt that Summerville styled Rooney Mara in for her Wmagazine shoot (at right). The prices will range from $3.95 for earrings up to $199 for the leather jacket, with the boots ringing in at a super-reasonable $59.95. The collection will debut at Colette in Paris on November 28, and then widely on December 14 to coincide with the film’s opening on the 21st.

6 Weird Fall Trends You Might Actually Like

The last thing you want to be is a fashion victim, but sometimes, trends are an opportunity to test your sartorial boundaries. Because what’s fashion without a little risk, right? Last February’s fall runways had a wide variety of wackadoo looks that left us scratching our heads, as per usual. But, now that I’ve had a few months to mull them over, I’ve decided on six that I feel good about trying out. Leave your inhibitions in the closet… here are the six weirdest fall trends worth trying out. Who knows, you might end up loving them!

Pilgrim-Chic — Stoic, modest, and sleek…the pilgrims knew a thing or two about minimalist dressing. We like the idea of a floor-length body-con dress paired with a killer pair of buckled shoes.

Lodis Tanzania Buckle Belt, $48, available at Lodis; Topshop Twist Front Maxi Dress, $100, available at Topshop; Fluevog Britta Shoe, $189, available at Fluevog.

Overalls — These ain’t your Cabbage Patch Kids’ coveralls. Think about the overall as an updated version of the jumpsuit, and pick pairs that have tapered legs, a close-fitting shape, and a fun fabric.

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Overalls, $276, available at Opening Ceremony; Steven Alan Atticus Overall, $288, available at Steven Alan.

Oversized Coats — Choose a too-boxy option, and an oversized coat will look more comical than chic. A good rules- Coats should still fit you in the shoulders and armpits. Only the body and sleeves should have volume.

Cheap Monday Egg Coat, $194, available at ASOS (also available for $158 at Oak)- Diesel Black Coat, $549, available at Coggles.

Crafty Crochet — Doilies, afghan blankets, quilts…your grandma’s crocheting habit should remain in her home, and not on your body. Instead, play toward this trend with an intricately crocheted top in a silky thread.

Miss Selfridges Pink Top, $51, available at Miss Selfridge; M Missoni Crochet Skirt, $645, available at Net-a-Porter.

Jeeves’ Uniform — We’re obsessed with the idea of wearing a slim tuxedo to this season’s holiday parties. Choose a bright jacket in a slim silhouette for a fun twist on the look.

Elliot Tux Pant, $248, available at Barneys.

The Formal Pajama — Instead of the literal pajama details, opt for silhouettes that are less boxy and more high-fashion. Just make sure the prints match… that’s all part of the fun! Or, break it apart and wear the silk pajama top as a cardigan. In a fun print, it’ll be a cheeky way to layer this fall.

VF Leaves Pant, $285, available at DVF; DVF Arianda Top, $398, available at DVF; Alexa Chung for Madewell Pajama Top, $200, available at Madewell.

Forever 21′s Hologram Fashion Show was Amazing–Is It the Future of Fashion?

On Tuesday, Forever 21 presented their fall collection on the runway. Models walked the catwalk, as they do, strutting, smiling, and then, they started walking upside down. On the ceiling. And then down invisible stairs. These are things you can do when the models are holograms.

Forever 21 is growing globally, with new stores in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, so what better way to introduce the brand to new customers then with a dazzling hologram fashion show? And really, it was dazzling. At one point neon rain started to fall and models sprung up out of the raindrops.

What’s even sweeter about Forever 21′s hologram fashion show is that it’s for their customers–it’s not, as shows and previews generally tend to be, for press and buyers only. The show has already toured Europe (Vienna, Brussels, and London) and last week in LA at the Grove they presented the seven minute runway show 64 times to approximately 1600 people.

After the show at the we heard some folks buzzing about this being the “future of fashion.” Nicola Formichetti seems to think it is–he designed clothes for Zombie Boy’s avatar for a new video game he’s working on. And Burberry did a hologram fashion show to celebrate their store opening in Beijing back in April. The only thing is, while the shows are visually stunning, you can’t really see the clothes the way you’d need to if you were critiquing them or deciding whether to put them in a magazine. Of course, the exception to the rule is Alexander McQueen’s famous hologram dress, modeled by Kate Moss for his fall 2006 show.

Sure, it’s a gimmick, but if you want to create some hype around your brand and have dough to spend, this is an awesome trick.
