Swedish fashion chain H&M and its designer collaborations have always been the talk of the town. And recently, the fast-fashion clothing label, in a statement released on 22 February 2023, has announced its collaboration with French luxury fashion house Mugler.
The Spring 2023 Mugler x H&M collection is conceptualised by Mugler’s creative director Casey Cadwallader. The collaboration will be a win-win for both brands, as an H&M collection will highlight Mugler’s “sexy brand of power dressing” to a larger audience, according to a Newsbreak report.
In 2023, H&M intends to invest heavily in its design partnerships, as the race for market dominance in the fast-fashion industry intensifies.
Although the exact launch date and other collaboration details are yet to be revealed by the brands, H&M‘s website states that the collection will be available online and in select stores in Spring 2023.
