Sleek, sophisticated occasion wear foundations get an effortlessly contemporary update for H&M Studio’s Holiday Capsule. Rooted in classic tailoring and glamorous gowns, the collection explores tinsel trimmings and off-beat details to deliver a refined spin on after-dark favorites.

“There’s nothing quite like tailoring to strike a self-assured note when it comes to evening style – nor glistening embellishment to set hearts racing. We distilled sharp silhouettes and edgy details in ways that feel effortless to wear this party season, combining them with covetable accessories that spark desire,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor and head of design womenswear at H&M.

Key pieces emphasize sleek shapes and smooth textures enlivened with custom burnished fastenings. An expertly tailored navy suit and a sweeping black leather coat semaphore sartorial exactitude. A champagne-hued gown is an effortless statement. Day-to-night denim with gold fastenings has a dressed-up sensibility, alongside a pillowy padded-leather bomber jacket. Accessories place the focus on subtle sophistication, with highlights including a gold leather bag, heeled leather booties and gold-tipped loafers as well as rhinestone-studded jewelry. The collection emphasizes high-quality compositions, and contains chrome-free leather, premium wool, organic cotton, Naia™ Renew cellulose yarn and recycled polyester. Several jewelry pieces are made from recycled steel, zinc and brass.

“This season the design team was channelling quiet confidence, creating after-dark pieces that set pulses racing while making you feel at ease. Looking to eveningwear foundations that balance masculine tailoring with feminine draping gives the collection a modern feel, for a party look that will make you feel sensational, year after year,” says Kathrin Deutsch, collection designer at H&M Studio.

The H&M Studio Holiday Capsule will be available at The Avenues Mall, Phase 4 and on kw.hm.com from November 21.
