TOGA ARCHIVES x H&M 2021

H&M x TOGA Fall Winter 2021

Collaboration between H&M and TOGA has been decided. The "TOGA ARCHIVES x H&M" collection for men and women will be released at some H&M stores and H&M online store from Thursday, September 2, 2021.

H&M's next collaboration is a team with Japanese fashion brand TOGA. Designer 古田泰子 Yasuko Furuta started the brand in 1997, and TOGA provided unique fashion with experimental arrangements.

The women's collection arranges classic tailoring with three-dimensional beaded decorations, silk scarf cape details, and has a calm palette such as navy, gray, and black. In addition, the bold floral dress and gingham check skirt have been reconstructed by combining them with knitwear.

On the other hand, the menswear items included sweatshirts, shirts, reversible bomber jackets, and hybrid trench coats.

The TOGA ARCHIVES x H&M collection includes a women’s and men’s line (this due to size and body shape), which both strive to break gender conventions when it comes to the design. From covering trench coats and belted wool blazers to recycled zink earrings and black belts.
