H&M Collaborates With Anamika Khanna And Brings Contemporary Indian Style And Craft To A Global Audience

The new H&M collaboration with Anamika Khanna celebrates the Indian designer's signature eclecticism and flair for fusing glamour and craftsmanship with contemporary tailoring and luxe loungewear. Inspired by the sartorial codes of India, Anamika Khanna reimagines traditional silhouettes with a fresh and modern take. The collection comprises of womenswear, menswear, jewelry and accessories and will launch online at hm•com on September, 5th 2024.

 

"I've always felt Indian fashion gets lost when interpreted by the rest of the world. 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," said Anamika Khanna.

The eye-catching collaboration is replete with vibrant and unique styles, alive with vivid colour, pattern, and hand-embroidered embellishment. The womenswear collection is underpinned by an effortless elegance, with draped skirts, airy kaftans with asymmetrical and high-low hemlines, and silk pyjama ensembles. For men, traditional cuts are refreshed with graphic prints, painterly motifs, and carefree sportswear shapes.

Anamika Khanna's dazzling adornment featuring an array of intricate jewelry, including earrings, cuffs and necklaces cast from reclaimed metal and made locally in India, will also be available.

"Anamika designs clothes to encourage the wearer to express themselves. The silhouettes are fluid and draped, often in a way that can be personalized. The prints are also intriguing. She integrates many fully printed looks, combining traditional colour elements with something more graphic," said Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M.

Stonyfield Organic Drops a SWEET THREADS Back-to-School Apparel Collection

Stonyfield Organic Drops a SWEET THREADS Back-to-School Apparel Collection Made of... Sugarcane as they Celebrate First-Ever Kid's Zero Grams of Sugar Added Dairy Yogurt Pouch Offered in the Industry.

Stonyfield Organic, the country's leading organic yogurt maker, is launching Stonyfield Kids ZEROg Sugar Added Pouches just in time for back-to-school season. With the launch of their new Kids ZEROg Sugar Added Pouches, the only Kids' dairy yogurt pouch with zero grams of added sugar on the market, Stonyfield is releasing Sweet Threads, a limited-edition clothing collection made from sugarcane textile to emphasize that while your kid's back-to-school wardrobe may be made of sugarcane, your kids' lunch shouldn't be.

Stonyfield's Sweet Threads collection features four thoughtfully designed pieces for parents and kids made of 100% sugarcane textiles. The collection includes three kid's short sleeve tee shirts printed with colorful graphic designs and playful text, and an adult long sleeve tee shirt perfect to wear to school drop off. All pieces are created using sugarcane textile which is derived from sugarcane plants.

The limited-edition clothing collection is made of 100% polylactic acid (PLA), a plant-based bioplastic that can be made from renewable materials like sugarcane plants. The production process involves extracting cellulose from sugarcane stalks, which is then spun into fibers and woven into fabric, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional polyester.

Stonyfield's brand-new Kids' ZEROg Added Sugar Yogurt Pouches are a convenient, affordable, and nutritious option this back-to-school season. Perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, lunch boxes, or after-school snacks, parents can feel confident they are providing kids with a nutritious, organic yogurt without sacrificing taste, so even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy. The organic ZEROg Added Sugar Yogurt Pouches come in delicious flavors like Blueberry Apple Carrot and Banilla (Banana and Vanilla) and are available now at select grocery stores nationwide for $1.99 (single serve) and $6.99 (4-count pack).

"When August rolls around, you can expect to find Stonyfield pouches in kids' lunchboxes but this year, and we want to be an even bigger part of your back-to-school routines," said Elizabeth Conover, Stonyfield Brand Director. "With the launch of Sweet Threads, Stonyfield is calling attention to the importance of our nutritious, ZEROg Added Sugar offering in a fun, interactive way that both parents and kids can enjoy. Parents shouldn't have to worry about how much sugar is in their kid's yogurt. So, we put sugarcane in their clothes instead as a fun way to remind parents about our new zero grams of sugar added offering."

2024 T-Shirt Trends: From Groovy to Grunge, We Got You Covered

 

Calling all T-shirt enthusiasts, design dabblers, and merch moguls! It's that time again – time to dust off your design software (or grab some markers, we don't judge) and get ready to create the next 'Best-selling tees of 2024'! This year's trends are a wild mix, from blasts from the past to futuristic visions, so get ready to unleash your inner creative weirdo (in the best way possible).

Here at my T-shirts Shop, we're known for our uncanny ability to predict T-shirt trends with the accuracy of a psychic cat (minus the hairballs). Remember that whole "glitter explosion" thing in 2022? Yep, predicted that one. So, trust us when we say these 20 trends are gonna be YUGE.

 

2024 T-Shirt Trends

Abstract Painting Prints: Let your inner Jackson Pollock loose and splatter some artistic chaos onto your tees. Think bold colors, unexpected shapes, and enough drip to make a faucet jealous. Remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents (and maybe a few confused laundry machines).

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Materials: Feeling guilty about your cotton habit? Us too. That's why eco-friendly tees made from recycled materials or organic cotton are going to be a major hit. Save the planet, look good, feel good – it's a win-win!

Rom-Comcore: Channel your inner Meg Ryan or Hugh Grant with playful designs inspired by classic romantic comedies. Think pastel colors, hearts, cheesy quotes – anything that screams "happily ever after" (or at least a hilarious meet-cute at the coffee shop).

Futurecore: Buckle up, Marty McFly, because the future is neon! Think sleek metallics, holographic accents, and space-age graphics. These tees are perfect for anyone who wants to look like they just stepped off a spaceship (hopefully one with functioning air conditioning).

Grunge is Back, Baby!: Get ready to unleash your inner angst with a resurgence of grunge vibes. Think ripped tees, band tees, and flannel-worthy plaid prints. Just remember, this time around, pair it with chunky sneakers instead of Doc Martens – your knees will thank you.

Repeated Words? You Betcha!: Simplicity is key with this trend. Take a word (love, peace, tacos – you get the idea) and repeat it endlessly across your tee. Bonus points for using a funky font or unexpected colors. It's like a mantra for your shirt (and maybe a conversation starter at the grocery store).

Black and White Designs: Can't decide on a color scheme? No problem! Black and white is a timeless classic that will never go out of style. Think bold graphics, minimalist typography, or even photorealistic portraits – the possibilities are endless (well, almost endless).

Vintage Graphics: Feeling nostalgic? Dust off those old photos and turn them into cool vintage-inspired tees. Think faded prints, retro fonts, and anything that screams "remember the good ol' days?" Just be sure to get permission from Grandma before slapping her high school photo on a T-shirt (unless you're going for the "awkward family photo" vibe, that is).

Barbiecore Takes Over: Life in plastic, it's fantastic! Channel your inner Barbie with a splash of pink (or hot pink, or neon pink – the pinker the better). Think sparkly embellishments, playful patterns, and anything that would make Barbie herself say, "Wow, that's fetch!"

Blast from the Past: 80s & 90s Prints: Get ready to rewind time with a resurgence of 80s and 90s graphics. Think neon colors, geometric shapes, and pop culture references that will make you say, "Whoa, dude!" Just be careful not to rip a hole in the space-time continuum with your sheer awesomeness.

Warm Minimalism: Less is more with this trend. Think clean lines, muted tones, and simple designs that let the quality of the fabric speak for itself. It's the perfect trend for those who appreciate a more understated look (but still want to stand out from the crowd, you rebels you).

Metallics are Metallic-ing Up the Place: Shine bright like a diamond (or a disco ball) with metallic tees in gold, silver, or even holographic finishes. These tees are perfect for making a statement, whether you're hitting the dance floor or just grabbing coffee (because who says you can't be a dazzling ray of sunshine at Starbucks?).

Botanical Elements are Blooming: Bring the outdoors in with botanical elements! This trend features floral prints, nature-inspired illustrations, and anything that makes you feel like you're frolicking through a field of wildflowers (without the pesky allergies). Think calming greens, earthy browns, and pops of vibrant color for a touch of floral flair.

Roses are Red... and Totally on Trend: Roses are a classic symbol of love, but this year, they're taking center stage on tees. Think single roses, rose bouquets, or even rose-patterned backgrounds. This trend is perfect for the romantics at heart, or just anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of a rose (minus the thorns, obviously).

Sunny Shades of Yellow: Feeling a little gloomy? Brighten your day (and your wardrobe) with sunny shades of yellow. This cheerful color is a guaranteed mood booster and is perfect for those who want to spread a little sunshine wherever they go. Think sunshine graphics, lemon prints, or even just a solid yellow tee – a little bit of yellow goes a long way.

Mermaidcore Makes a Splash: Calling all mermaids (and mermen, we don't discriminate)! Dive into the trend of Mermaidcore with ocean-inspired designs featuring seashells, scales, and even mythical creatures. Think shimmery blues, teals, and greens, with a touch of sparkle for that extra mermaid magic.

Coquette Aesthetic: This trend is all about embracing femininity and playful innocence. Think ruffles, lace, pastel colors, and anything that screams "sugar and spice and everything nice." It's a perfect look for those who want to add a touch of whimsy to their wardrobe (and maybe channel their inner Bridgerton character).

Groovy Lettering Takes Us Back in Time: Get ready to boogie with groovy lettering that's straight out of the 70s. Think funky fonts, psychedelic swirls, and colors that would make a disco ball proud. This trend is perfect for those who want to add a touch of vintage flair to their wardrobe (and maybe bust a move or two).

Old Money Aesthetic: Channel your inner Gatsby with the old money aesthetic. Think crisp white tees, polo shirts, and nautical stripes. It's a timeless look that exudes sophistication and elegance (without the need for a trust fund).

Normcore is Back, Baby!: Remember when normcore was all the rage? Well, guess what? It's back! This trend is all about embracing the ordinary – think plain white tees, dad jeans, and sneakers. It's a comfortable, effortless look that's perfect for those who just want to look good without trying too hard.

So there you have it, folks! The 20 T-shirt design trends that are poised to take over the world (or at least your local mall) in 2024. With this handy guide, you're well on your way to becoming a T-shirt design extraordinaire. So grab your design tools, unleash your creativity, and get ready to print some awesome merch! Remember, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe your budget for glitter). Happy creating!
