Alexander Wang x H&M: Sneak Peek

If you’re like THE BRUNETTES and are anxiously awaiting for the November 6^th launch of the sportswear-focused Alexander Wang x H&M collection, which will likely sellout in its entirety on that very same day, then you’ll definitely appreciate these preview pics from the menswear range.

Logo-embossed sweaters and running meggings will give fashionisto gym rats some edge when hitting the treadmill, but it’s the gym gear in the campaign imagery, like the boxing gloves and soccer ball, that THE BRUNETTES are most hoping to see included in the line. So start drafting that must-have list now, because the Alexander Wang x H&M collection is just weeks away.

THE BRUNETTES @ the Moda:ko Launch Event

Moda:ko, the name of the uber-chic, Canadian-crafted iPad and MacBook accessory label, is a conflation of the Italian word for fashion and the Japanese one for child, meaning children of fashion.

Designed by Kelly Ho Chia Lee, the brand currently features cases for Apple tablets and laptop computers that come in a stylish range of iconic textiles, like houndstooth, tartan, and seersucker just to name a few, that are sourced globally from different countries famous for the manufacturing of quality materials.

Tailored in Canada, the line is made up of two collections. The Uptown collection combines the look of  a high-end bag with the protective function of a computer case, while the Downtown collection focuses on a range of cases that incorporate bold prints and fun pops of colour in a variety of stylish options for both women and men.

Having the opportunity to preview the Moda:ko collection last night, and each taking home a Moda:ko case as a gift, THE BRUNETTES can assure you that this is a Canadian label worthy of your attention. Combining fashion, function, and quality into an accessory range for computers is no easy feat, but then making that range so luxe that pieces from it can double as designer handbags is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity behind the founders of Moda:ko.

Back to School Editorials: Tim Schumacher is Captured by Bruno Staub for GQ Style Germany's 'Jersey Boy' Shoot

Nostalgic sportswear makes a triumphant return in GQ Style Germany's 'Jersey Boy' editorial. The image series highlights a range of collegiate fashions that are worn by its fair-haired star Tim Schumacher. Tim is captured by photographer Bruno Staub for the story and is outfitted by wardrobe stylist Tobias Frericks.

In 'Jersey Boy', the model dons vintage-themed styles from Polo Ralph Lauren that include the label's log-printed sweatshirts and athletic trousers along with more tailored styles like its wool suits and collared-shirt garments.

Taking one back to school, this editorial looks to the 90s for its inspiration and proves that nostalgic sportswear is here to stay.
