Shein Debuts New 'Evolushein X Anitta' Collection Spotlighting Eight Independent Fashion Designers

Shein Debuts New 'Evolushein X Anitta' Collection Spotlighting Eight Independent Fashion Designers

Global fashion and lifestyle online retailer SHEIN has partnered with Brazilian pop superstar and fashion icon Anitta to launch their newest purposeful product collection, evoluSHEIN X Anitta. Anitta selected eight independent designers from SHEIN X, SHEIN's program to support independent brands, artists, and designers to co-design the collection. This collection marks a significant milestone under SHEIN's evoluSHEIN by Design initiative, showcasing the company's ambition to empower creative talent, support inclusive self-expression, and drive sustainable innovation.


Shein Debuts New 'Evolushein X Anitta' Collection Spotlighting Eight Independent Fashion Designers


The 75-piece collection, which was previewed last evening at an intimate gathering in NYC, is available in extended sizes and features dresses, two-piece sets, skirts, bodysuits, tops, and bottoms. The evoluSHEIN X Anitta collection merges Anitta's electric style with SHEIN's trendy designs to create party-ready pieces you can wear to any event. Inspired by Anitta's electric personality, the collection highlights an array of different fabrics, bold patterns, sleek silhouettes, and daring cut-outs.

"Through this collaboration, I wanted to show that fashion can be simultaneously stylish, sustainable, and accessible as a reflection of what's most important to me," said Anitta. "How we dress is an expression of who we are, and it has been so exciting to work with this diverse group of designers, bringing different cultures and artistic visions together to create a stunning collection. I want my fans to feel empowered to express themselves as freely as I do with these pieces."

The collection features styles from eight independent fashion designers from around the world who champion SHEIN X's goal of celebrating the power of creativity and design: Kaori Semaj (US), Lauren Flagg (US), Valeria Cortes (MX), Raúl Orozco (MX), Victor Manuel Fernández Fuentes (ES), Mel Dorey (UK), Maria Silva (BR), Jheni Ferriera (BR).  Anitta selected this international cohort of independent designers to craft styles with SHEIN X following the evoluSHEIN by Design initiative, which requires designers to realize their creative visions using preferred materials and responsible manufacturing processes.

Together, these independent designers at SHEIN X have created a collection representative of Anitta's vibrant style and joyful spirit. The evoluSHEIN X Anitta collection also exemplifies SHEIN's drive to build a more circular fashion future. For the first time, SHEIN has incorporated next-generation viscose materials into a globally available collection, with 22 styles featuring Regracell® - a soft, breathable fiber made from 50% recycled cotton scraps. The collection also showcases limited-edition pieces crafted from rescued deadstock fabrics as part of SHEIN's partnership with circular economy leader Queen of Raw, leveraging their advanced software to source high-quality surplus materials that would otherwise go to waste. All items follow the evoluSHEIN by Design Standard, containing at least 30% preferred materials, among other criteria. The collection's extended size range embraces inclusivity and body positivity, and all pieces are shipped in recycled packaging.

As part of this launch, SHEIN will support with a monetary donation to Central Única Das Favelas (CUFA), an important Brazilian non-profit that Anitta passionately supports. Together, SHEIN and Anitta are excited to contribute to CUFA's mission of empowering children, adolescents, youth, and creating non-profit social programs for thousands of residents of various favelas (slums) in Brazil.

The evoluSHEIN X Anitta collection is now available on SHEIN.com.

COACH Introduces Spring 2025 Collection With Runway Show On The High Line

COACH Introduces Spring 2025 Collection With Runway Show On The High Line

Coach debuted its Spring 2025 collection with a runway show on the Spur of New York City's High Line, a portion of elevated park adjacent to the house's global headquarters. The newest iteration of Creative Director Stuart Vevers' vision of American classics as interpreted by the new generation, the presentation emphasized the appeal of personality and self-expression and offered a new interpretation of what "luxury" can really mean.


 

Continuing Vevers' exploration of archetypal pieces as seen through the eyes of young people today, Spring 2025 mixed elements of classical tailoring and couture-inspired cocktail dresses with more casual pieces pulled from the counter-cultural vocabulary of skate, heavy metal and new wave. American sportswear icons like navy blazers, chinos and pinstripe suiting were tweaked and exaggerated to create unexpected fits and proportions, while '60s inspired dresses in candy-colored palettes were made new with very short, dropped hems. The art of "re-loving," or reimagining the end-of-life for pieces already in circulation, is also prominently featured on the runway. Denim trousers, moto skirts and aviator jackets were crafted from post-consumer garments artfully repurposed to create something new, a celebration of the house's rich legacy of craft, as well as the inherent charm of pieces with history. Vevers expands here on Coach's popular (Re)Loved program, which restores and resells vintage Coach pieces using craft and customization.

Graphic T-shirts with playful interpretations of New York pop and rock 'n' roll iconography were layered under distressed moto jackets and paired with stovepipe denim trousers, while another selection of white T-shirts were embroidered and embellished with hand-crafted words and phrases, emulating both souvenir garments of the 1940s and a DIY punk aesthetic. The collection also evolved on key concepts from the last two seasons, including new interpretations of the cardigan jacket in upcycled leather and suede, and fresh takes on tuxedo jackets and pajama-style pants, this time creased and faded for added character.

In leathergoods, the Spring 2025 collection marked the debut of the Chain Tabby 26, a new interpretation of Coach's iconic Tabby bag. Crafted in soft-grain leather and available in a range of colors, the new bag features a metallic chain strap with details inspired by leathercraft. The collection also featured new variations on Winter's Frame bag, including top handle versions in exaggerated sizes, a menswear-inspired Portfolio shape, an oversized backpack, and several silhouettes that apply iconic Coach Frame hardware, first designed for the brand by Bonnie Cashin in the 1960s, to Vevers' popular family of Shape bags, in heart, star and dinosaur shapes.

The presentation also featured Coach's new Soho Sneaker. Inspired by the cross-training sneakers of the late '80s and early '90s, the sneaker references these classic styles while remaining iconic in its own right. The Soho was distressed specifically for the runway collection and embellished with stickers, as well as a series of resin charms depicting taxi cabs, cassette tapes, and other ephemera. Featuring an upper crafted with regenerative leather, this newest style captures the house's commitment to expanding its vision of sustainability to multiple categories on the runway.

"My vision for Spring was to show real clothes in a real, relevant, urban environment," said Vevers. "But we're redesigning these clothes, keeping in mind the values of a new generation that is discovering these pieces for the first time."

"So many elements of this collection come down to personality," said Vevers. "We've taken very archetypal pieces and made them unique to the wearer, with the proportions, with the styling, and with very playful embellishments that call into question the idea of traditional 'luxury.' I think what's more valuable today is something that's personal."

Inspired by the energy of the New York City, where different people and styles mix and merge, the runway show was held on the High Line's Spur, an elevated park in the beating heart of the city. Guests at the event were able to take in the latest collection within the context of the environment that helped inform it. Show content echoed the presentation's urban theme and setting, with dynamic views of the High Line and surrounding streets and a series of moving portraits with hand-drawn elements. Special guests included stars of Coach's new "Unlock Your Courage" campaign Charles Melton, Nazha, Storm Reid, Jayson Tatum and Youngji Lee.

A curated selection of pieces from Spring 2025, including the Chain Tabby and the Soho Sneaker, are available now to buy online and at Coach Soho and Coach House on Fifth Avenue.

This was the brand's largest ever nationwide model search with more than 11,000 applicants across U.S. and Canada.

"Essence impressed us all from the minute we met her at the Los Angeles Casting Event. Even with zero modeling experience, she is so natural and comfortable in front of the camera—and more importantly her vibrancy and authenticity really emulate the core values of Torrid," said Vivian Alhorn, Chief Marketing Officer. "We are absolutely thrilled to introduce her to the world as the newest member of the Torrid family."

The casting call lasted six months with in-store events at over 100 various mall locations nationwide and a selective review process. Initially narrowed down to a top 30, candidates were publicly voted to the top 10. The finalists traveled to Los Angeles last month for a professional model boot camp featuring a full day modeling mentorship and content creation workshop, where Sugar showcased her modeling abilities and secured the winning spot.

"I feel so overwhelmed with joy and excitement," said Essence Sugar, 2024 Torrid Model Casting Call winner, "to have this opportunity to continue to work with Torrid—and create spaces where I see people that look like me. There's this rare feeling you get when you are able to be comfortable and confident in yourself. If I can contribute to other people feeling this way, what more can I do with my life? I am just so grateful."

Sugar will be featured in a Torrid 2025 campaign photoshoot, receive a $2,000 cash prize and a full year's wardrobe from Torrid (valued at $15,000). She also has the opportunity to be signed with a global talent management agency. To learn more about Sugar and the 2024 Torrid Model Casting Call, please visit Torrid•com/CastingCall2024.

Lane Bryant Celebrates 120 Years Of Dressing Curves

Lane Bryant Celebrates 120 Years Of Dressing Curves

Lane Bryant today announced the kickoff of a celebration to honor the 120th anniversary of the brand. Established in 1904 by founder Lena Himmelstein Bryant, Lane Bryant continues to serve as a beacon of inclusivity, innovation, and fit in plus size fashion and intimate apparel. The brand will honor that legacy with its associates and customers through a number of in store and online events.



Lena Bryant's passion for dressing curves paved the way for inclusive outfitting for women, no matter their means. Her determination to cultivate a space for her customer in society laid the groundwork for Lane Bryant's first store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Starting before women even had the right to vote, Lane Bryant became a welcoming outlet for women to access stylish and thoughtfully designed apparel in one place while inspiring a feeling of true community amongst her customers.

Innovation has always been in Lane Bryant's DNA as Lena moved ahead of the curve. Along with her team, she developed a proprietary size-grading system that prioritized proper fit in each garment no matter the size on the tag. Lane Bryant's recently introduced Fit for You initiative continues to reinforce Lena's commitment to fit today, intentionally designing collections that feel custom made to fit each customer's curves.

A true trailblazer who championed an underserved, well-deserving market, ensuring her customers felt seen and celebrated, Lena's can-do spirit and unwavering focus on the customer remain at the heart of Lane Bryant today, and are threaded throughout the brand's product and plans to celebrate its milestone anniversary.

"While there are several American fashion brands started by women, for women, none have been in existence since 1904," said EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer of Lane Bryant Mary Castilow. "We're here today thanks to the love, loyalty, and support shown to Lane Bryant over the decades by our incredible community of customers, associates, and friends. And we look forward to celebrating with everyone."

Anniversary celebrations begin today in store and on LaneBryant.com, where customers can shop an exclusive Forever Faves Collection: a curated assortment of timeless "wardrobe heroes" loved by customers including an any occasion wrap dress and a feminine satin blouse, all grounded in an autumnal deep green. Lane Bryant also will host an Anniversary Party in stores on Saturday, September 7, 2024, where those who shop will have the chance to win product giveaways and receive a gift – a limited-edition Anniversary bracelet – with a qualifying purchase (exclusions apply).

Lane Bryant invites all friends and fans of the brand to share their favorite Lane Bryant memories and Forever Fave pieces on social media by joining our 120th Anniversary Celebration.

H&M Unveils A/W 2024 Collection with Star-Studded Cast

H&M Unveils A/W 2024 Collection with Star-Studded Cast

A new vision of style. H&M reignites its fashion sensibility with A/W 2024, starring Charli xcx, Arca, Lila Moss, Loli Bahia, Sage Elsesser and Sega Bodega.

A/W 2024 marks a refresh of H&M's fashion spirit. Full of rich tones, intriguing details and design-focused silhouettes, this season brings a very special collection for H&M. The A/W 2024 collection will be available in select stores worldwide and online at hm . com beginning September 12th.

"This collection is full of many special inspirations and quality materials. The leather, the knits, the sparkly separates – together the pieces showcase the strength of H&M's fashion ability. It's all about great clothes: real wardrobe icons. The campaign lets the fashion shine," says Eliana Masgalos, Womenswear Design Director, H&M.

Each piece within the assortment tells a unique story. The collection is inspired by the eternal glamour and versatility of mid-century design, the deep and sophisticated hues of wood and retro interiors, the lingering beauty of Hollywood cinema sirens, and the cycle of styles across key fashion eras.

The A/W 2024 campaign features an array of musicians, models, and cultural leaders. Created by photographer Sam Rock and director Albert Moya, it is a celebration of fashion, individuality, and personal style. The cast of contemporary icons, including Charli xcx, Arca, Lila Moss, Ajus Samuel, Loli Bahia, Wali Deutsch, Okay Kaya, Bibi Breslin, Alewya, Sage Elsesser, Sega Bodega, and Lux Gillespie, embodies H&M's commitment to embracing fashion and self-expression.

A mid-century mood is visible in the suiting, including boxy jackets and micro skirts. There are flashes of vintage-styles seen in the leather dresses and heirloom-style mesh dresses. Premium materials such as leather and suede add to the opulent feel of the collection. Knits include skirt suits in stretch wool, and must-have matching vests and shorts. The color palette features an array of browns, from caramel to deep mahogany. Oxblood and green add to the archival feel, complemented by black and white as accent statements. Accessories include heeled pumps with a round toe, studded loafers, and furry slip-ons. Bags are slick and structural. Jewelry ranges from minimal and angular to offbeat and earthy. Belts help complete the mood of assertive femininity, emphasizing shapes and lines.

For men, the mood is tailored classicism, matched with opulence. Tailoring in oxblood and cool steel tones create elevated statement pieces, such as a leather trench cut at a mid-length and a lurex tweed workwear jacket. Items combine a spirit of utility with individuality – a message central to the H&M ethos of great fashion for everyone.

"The A/W 2024 collection is all about the joy of great fashion. Music is an area where experimentation, individuality and flair have always thrived, so it makes perfect sense for H&M to be paying tribute to the intersection between style, sound and self-expression." - Jörgen Andersson, Creative Director, H&M  

H&M will kick off the global celebrations of its much-anticipated A/W 24 collection with a spectacular party in London. A multi-faceted celebration of music, fashion and individuality, the event will feature a special performance by Charli xcx and DJ sets by Jamie xx and Sherelle. In keeping with the spirit of inclusivity that defines H&M, the invite will be open to all, with customers able to sign up for the chance to attend via social media and through members competitions.
