Sheer fabrics, lace, lingerie details and pearl embellishment elevate each piece spectacularly, while a neutral colour palette of black, silver, earth tones and off-whites keeps the tone sophisticated. The collection will be launched on September 14 and will be available in stores worldwide and online.

The journey of H&M’s Fall 2023 collection spans the romanticism of the Baroque era but is firmly rooted in the here and now with a fiercely modern attitude. Long lines of power suits and leggings contrast with billowing volume in ruffled hems, oversized tie-necks tops and wide-leg jeans. Transparency is the key, evoking a sensual spirit and employing lingerie details in a new way. Set against sleek faux leather or decorative details, the look is both streamlined and opulent, H&M said in a press release.

“Our main source of inspiration came from visually stunning films. The collection is a stylish mix of historic references but with a fiercely modern attitude. It’s our contemporary interpretation of romanticism,” said Eliana Masgalos, concept designer at H&M.

Key pieces include trouser suits, long dresses, maxi denim skirts and embellished tops. Elevated feminine details such as pearls, bows, flounces and pintucks are juxtaposed with studded and heavy metal detailed accessories and shoes, the release added.
