HYSTN: Erdem x H&M - My Top Picks

Hey guys so I'm back with a new blog post sharing some of my favorite things.  About a month ago, I wrote a blog post on the new Erdem x H&M collaboration collection (here).  Back then only the collection's editorial lookbook had been released, so I posted looks that stood out and gave a little background on the brand.

Now (well as of Nov. 2) the complete collection is available in selected H&M stores, as well as on hm.com, and I have posted my favorite pieces below as well as links for you all to purchase them directly.

Lastly, and just because I thought this was pretty cool, check out the campaign film that was released leading up to the full launch of the collaborative collection.  The film, "The Secret Life of Flowers", created by Baz Luhrman uses the collection to helps to define characters as they portray a very modern love story amongst friends. 

Have You Seen That New....Erdem x H&M Collaboration

Erdem is the latest brand to collaborate with the high street giant, H&M.  The Collection was inspired by Pet Shop Boys music video "Being Boring"...(yea, I had to google it too), but after watching it I totally got it.  As you can tell from the lookbook photos below, there are serious notes and influences from times from the past.  Beautiful gowns covered in winter florals, some even in a beautiful jacquard.  High collars/necklines and beautiful lace which read Victorian romanticism.  The collection is very English.

This collaboration with H&M is the designer's first offering of menswear pieces.  In this category of the collection, there are great heritage pieces, tweed suits, silk pajama inspired sets, pocket squares and shoes, as well as chunky statement knit sweaters.  All of which could actually be worn by women.  The designer shared in an article that "he would take the Harris suit off of the male model, and place it onto the woman model and it would look great.  So yeah for androgyny and gender fluidity in clothing.  I am basically sold at that point.  Boys clothing is just so simple, comfy and overall better sometimes.
