H&M @ Fall 2013 Collection

H&M Fall 2013 Women Collection is a drama with a tomboy spirit which also presented first on the catwalk of Paris Fashion Week earlier and will be debut in around 200 stores worldwide from 5th September as well as online. Tialcoats 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 punkish feel. Biker boots or flat shoes add a fresh twist, along with tassel belts, vintage-inspired bags and a velvet peak cap with leather visor.

The Men Fall 2013 Collection defined silhouette and a new take on traditional tailoring. 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 bombers give a neat city shape, while hooded parkas and a contrasting sleeved peacoat play with menswear's heritage.

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 foucs on knitwear, especially with a knit hoodie over a matching a knit crewneck. Elsewhere, statement chunky knits provide their own special texture on classics, with Chelsea boots and Derby lace-up, alongside leather gloves, knit hats and peaked caps.
