Wow this thread is ASLEEP !! WAKEUP..

Ok they released some photos as well this week. Rhianna also stepped out earlier this week with a super cute workout inspired crop and leggings. I was going to pass on this collab but since right now I'm obsessed with laid back workout style, I will be lining up !
 
hmmmm its looking a tad bit too sporty at the moment. I do love the sporty infusion just not when it is crazy overboard..it needs to be just enough so that the pieces are everyday wearable. Marant HM pieces are so everyday wearable for me and thats why i love them. Cmon Wang, dont disappoint.
 
Hmmmm...nothing too inspiring about what I've seen so far. And designer colabs tend to be made with such poor-quality fabrics. Will have to see it IRL when it comes out.
 
I hope the clothing comes in the full range of H&M sizes. These designer collaborations are some of the few times I can find nice designer clothing that actually fits right.
 
new campaign images from the collection :woohoo:

Article with some new details including some price points. Sounds like the one true "inspired" piece will be some Freja booties, which I already own so one less piece I'll be fighting for haha

http://fashionista.com/2014/09/alexander-wang-hm-prices

The pricing is... :hrmm: they cost as much as the original Freja boots on theoutnet
http://www.theoutnet.com/product/242769

My feeling is that this line is priced too close to the T by A. Wang or the original A. Wang line on discount... which is weird because these 'collaboration' lines are meant to be an 'entry' towards the full fledge line.

And these stuff are H&M quality even though his name is slapped all over the place. I would much rather prefer to get the real A. Wang stuff when they are on sale though...

(Edit: Just browsed through theoutnet and discovered this http://www.theoutnet.com/en-US/product/490164 at US$297. May the lucky girl with a pair of size IT35 feet gets really lucky and need not queue outside of a H&M store at 5am in the morning cold for a pair of *ahem*H&M*ahem* quality ones at US$199)

I'm a bit torn I hear what you're saying but there are a couple of pieces I love, and I didn't wait in line for IM and regretted it so I might suck it up this year but none of the shoes interest me and the same with the jackets (I live in LA and rarely get to use them...my IM x HM sweaters barely get used!)....
 
I expected a lot from him as I love his general pieces but can't afford them, I kinda was upset that the prices were fairly high, I can get normal AW for those at some consignment stores.
The Wang written on the majority of the pieces is also a huge turn off as I feel a bit awkward wearing it in public. Its also to a bit athletically for me but I like the sporty bra tops
 
I think I am put off by everything having WANG written all over it in giant letters. And I agree that it is really sporty. I think I am disappointed because this was one H&M collaboration I was super excited about.
