The collection’s silhouettes conjure up a sharply tailored black blazer with an hourglass shape, a black bandeau top with wiring that creates curved details, and a black dress with spaghetti straps, a draped top and asymmetric hemline. There’s also an oversized washed black crewneck logo sweater with distressed details, a boxy washed black hoodie with silver foil logo at the back, and four different merch t-shirts featuring graphics of Elphaba, Glinda and the Wicked logo. Different fabrics and techniques emphasise rich textures – mesh, wooly woven, heavy washed jersey, distressed knits, embroidery and pleather. For the accessories, the focus is on the ‘W’ with a curvy handbag, sparkly earring and embossed belt.
Universal Pictures’ Wicked premieres in theatres worldwide on 22 November 2024. The H&M Wicked collection will be available in selected stores and online at hm.com from 7 October.
