What do you think of this of mix and match, cropped jacket paired
with peaked cap? For tomboyish and chic look. I was at Carcosa Seri Negara early
this month for H&M Autumn Collection 2013 Preview.
Modern drama is at the heart of the H&M Autumn Collection 2013
was presented first on the catwalk of
Paris Fashion Week and debuting in around 200 stores worldwide on September 5,
as well as online.
Created by H&M’s own design team, the collection mixes
tailoring with glamour to create contrasts and it will be a drama with a tomboy
spirit for women this autumn at H&M.
The key garments for this Autumn 2013 Collection are the tailcoat,
sequin dress, cropped ceremonial jacket, leather jacket, leather trousers,
bohemian embroidered jacket, jersey trousers, chunky sweater, embellished
shoulder piece.
Well, this autumn collection will highlight the utilitarian
shades from black and grey through khakis to off-white, metallic and shimmer
from sequins; pop of red.
You’ll find more wool, cotton, velvet, jersey, fake
fur, leather, silk fabrics this September.
Dramatic silhouette from tailcoats and great coats; glamour from
delicate sequin dresses; ceremonial and utilitarian shape and detailing;
bohemian spirit with embellished velvet; toughness of leather contrasted with
softness of jersey pieces; texture from fake fur are the key details.
Tailcoats create a dramatic silhouette either long or cropped,
while a variety of delicate sequin dresses add faded grandeur. Extra shine
comes from the sequins and fringing of an embellished shoulder piece that can
be worn over any outfit. A ceremonial jacket has a cropped, boxy shape, while
leather jackets have a new vintage feel with mismatched buttons.
Quilted
leather trousers bring toughness, contrasted with the softness of embellished
jersey trousers which are halfway between a legging and traditional cut.
Bohemia comes from a heavily embroidered velvet jacket, while the chunky knit
of a raglan sleeve sweater brings winter comfort.
Accessories complete the
contrasting mood, with mini-rings for every finger and small earrings for a
punk-ish feel. Biker boots or flat shoes add a fresh twist, along with tassel
belts, embroidered collars and vintage-inspired bags.
Check out the accessories such as mini-rings, mini-earrings, biker
boots, flat shoes, tasseled belt, vintage-style bag, decorated velvet bracelets
and embroidered collars too.
So much talking about women’s collection, now we move to men’s
collection. H&M Autumn 2013 Collection For Men highlights contrasting
shapes and new tailoring. Well, with H&M you’ll see something exciting every
season, for Autumn 2013 will be the long coats, shorter jackets for a cropped
look, dress pants even for casual wear, statement textured knitwear, hoods for
urban protection in traditional tailoring cloths such as khaki, urban greys.
Oversized
double-breasted coats come in either melton wool with fluid lapels, or hooded
for a sense of urban protection.
Zip-up Harrington jackets and quilted short
jackets give a neat city shape, while hooded parkas and a contrasting sleeved
peacoat play with menswear’s heritage. You get defined silhouettes and a new
take on traditional tailoring set the mood at H&M for men this autumn.
Pinstripe jackets nod to the traditions of
tailoring, while a jersey blazer updates them, and a slim-fit double-breasted shortened blazer offers a new
suit cut. Utility references add toughness, especially with utility pants,
while tailored trousers give the collection a smartened feel.
All-over prints
have evolved so that the printed tie now matches the printed shirt beneath, and
there’s a big focus on knitwear, especially with a knit hoodie over a matching
knit crewneck. Elsewhere, statement chunky knits provide their own special
texture, with innovations in rib, twisted yarn, cable-stitch and even hairy
sweaters. Accessories also provide updates on classics, with Chelsea boots and
Derby lace-ups, alongside leather gloves, knit hats and peaked caps.
