"Fashion
right now is all about reinventing classic favourites, with a wardrobe
full of perfect pieces that have been restyled and reconsidered to
feel completely new. This season there’s a particular focus on the mood
of the 60s and 70s, with brightly coloured shapes that are short and
sharp alongside a more romantic silhouette that is long and elegant. To
make a modern mix, these pieces are teamed with seasonal trends and
modern essentials with innovative shapes and proportions. There is a
move towards function in fabrics as well as form, with many of the
fibres used being organic or recycled. At H&M we are proud to
continue working with sustainable materials to make fashion forward
clothes that will soon be timeless."
Okay. Well, that's
probably a bit too grandiose a description for our tastes but we have to
say we like this collection much better than the men's. It seems to us
that there are more options for the customer to be found here.
There's
certainly a skirt and pant in every length and cut needed. Like the
men's collection, this one has a practical, utilitarian feel to it but
because it's women's wear, it naturally has a little more flair to it.
Although
we're not sure we're ready to see caftans on the street again. Not
unless the wearer is willing to pair them with a turban, cat-eye
sunglasses, and a cigarette holder.
