The creative is tackling that head-on with the new line, which channels her flair for eclecticism, glamour, and a keen eye for tailoring. The collab features vibrant draped skirts, asymmetrical caftans, luxe silk pajamas, and a selection of jewelry made in India using reclaimed metal. “Often, our fashion — in terms of the culture, the heritage of craft, and textile embroideries — is regarded as costume or not wearable or modern enough. Things have changed a lot, and this collection with H&M allows me to take something Indian and make it global and contemporary.” The collection will be available to shop online on September 5. H&MTKEES x LoveShackFancy Footwear brand TKEES is jumping in on the coquette aesthetic trend with its new collaboration with LoveShackFancy. The collection combines TKEES streamlined sandal styles with LoveShackFancy’s ultra-feminine whimsy, resulting in two silhouettes: Mini Bows, a take on TKEES’ classic flip-flop sandal with a metallic gold finish and adorned with small leather bows, and Oversized Bow, which is a pink flip-flop with a large soft satin bow detail. Both shoes are available for $150.
