Alexander Wang is the first American designer to partner with Swedish high street giant for one of its limited edition collections

New York-based Wang launched his own-name collection in 2007 and is also the creative director for Balenciaga. “I am honoured to be a part of H&M’s designer collaborations,” he said on Instagram on Sunday. “The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to push boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.”

The Alexander Wang x H&M collection includes clothing and accessories for women and men and will be in 250 H&M stores worldwide and online on November 6, 2014.

“Alexander Wang is one of the most important voices in fashion today. He understands exactly what people want to wear and does it with an energy and passion that’s infectious. It feels incredible to be collaborating with him this year,” says Margareta van den Bosch, H&M’s creative advisor.
