STYLE RELEASES & PREVIEWS: H&M | NIKE | BBC/ICECREAM
Friday, April 18, 2008

Swedish based retail chain H&M released the preview for their 2008 Autumn Women, Men’s, and Children collections. Though summer has not even swing in yet, it’s always nice to get a head start on your winter wardrobe and see what’s in store. Plus, H&M is a favorite of mine…

See a small preview of the Men’s collection after the cut…

…and view more from the Men’s and Children preview at Nitrolicious…

I know we have a few ladies here who are sneaker fans. One exciting release in sneaks this week are the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High QK, which comes in four colors. The University Blue colorway (Style: 321813-441) will hit select stores in New York tomorrow but, you can cop all colors online at kix-files…

Though Pharrell is off on the Glow In The Dark tour, that isn’t stopping BBC/Ice Cream from releasing new apparel from their Spring line this week. Infact, Skateboard P posted a few hot new pieces on his blog today that are in stock online. Visit Hypebeast for more info on releases from BBC…

I will not be rockin the bright Airforce Ones. But Im sure it will be alot of colorful teens running around DC soon.
Love some of the H& M pieces but NOT those “Stop my knees from rubbing together” Pants… Nope dont like them. Or the other pants for that matter but the top row of stuff is cute.
BBC - Is that the billionair babe/boys club… Which is it? Isnt Teyana Taylor with them?

I’m feeling all the H&M pieces, especially the Black trench dress…but, um, those bright Nikes need to be left in the 80’s. I’m TIRED of the throwback 80’s look, it’s corny.

all of the gear is hot but Pharrell needs to chill with them sky-high ass prices…i remember looking at a T-SHIRT that was $200…he gotta be outta his damn mind if i spend that much on a top, it better say Gucci, Chanel, or something of that nature.

i was wondering where the bomb fashion posts were…YAY they’re back, congrats on your wedding girl AND i will be checking H&M for that first dress to the left, is it going to be on the pink label or another higher end H&M label? either way it’s too cute!

Out of all the stuff, I’m feeling the shirt with the bowtie…it’s menswear, but it’s the closest to my style. The coats and sling backs are nice, but I’m over the dainty thing, already. And, now I have to deal with cocktail shorts (by the way, in the Rihanna post. She was wearing cocktail shorts). And to the person whose over the “taliban” scarves, I am sooo tired of seeing scarves. They’re staples and utilitarian, I know, but it bores me to no end when things become such astronomical fads.

@ 11 I dont mind walking around looking like a highlighter, that means I will be noticed and I wont just fall back and be looked over. I rather rock something that everyone hates before I rock something that everyone else is wearing atleast I will be different and you’ll all notice it and probably a year later what I was rocking that yall didnt like, you will be loving. ima a trend setter when I see something that is not so popular I get it and then next thing you know people are buying after they see me with it. That has happened to me many of times.

lol… it’s probably happened to all of us #24…..
I’m sure just like the highlighter sneaks those new kicks will be all the rage in the NYC this summer! sIt def won’t be just one it will be one in thousands with the sneaks….
I actually think they look cute on kids and teens…. I mean who else should have them on their feet except maybe a celeb? I mean really they prob wear there sneaks one time so if they wear them once that might be too much..lol..

Well am a sneaker girl from DC and snice I already have soem blue n white shoes,
some red shoes then I think I migth cop those in purple. Also I will like to add you do anything if you put your mind to it, and don’t worry what hating ass people got to say.
The forces are just like the color reeboks so whats the difference?
Anyways if you will buy anything from H&M. I guess you really are trying hard to look like everyone else.
Oh yeah do something on my black indians.
Damn I can’t stand when people get mad cause they can’t pull off what someone else did. lol

I am loving the purple shirt, black coat/dress, and shoes from the H & M women’s collection. Unfortunately I don’t have an H & M near me. My aunt wears a single digit size in clothes, and she said that H & M runs small for those with curves. Until they get online ordering, I must only worship their clothes from afar…….

#9, I totally agree w/you. I prefer my 54.11s over A1s, tho. Hate A1s, on anyone! I hear you #24 and #32. #35, you def. can wear skinny jeans w/sneakers, especially if you have a flashy, colorful pair on to show them off. Laughing at #19 over the ‘dainty’ thing, I am too.

i personally don’t like the colored sneakers but that’s just b/c it’s not my style. i could see some ppl wearing them and making them look hot. the rest of you though (the ones who won’t do justic to the sneaker) refrain from buying them pleaseee
and yeah i’m sick of those damn scarves. EVERYBODY in nyc has been wearing them. i used to want one, kept forgetting to get one, but now i will not be buying one. that being said, guys look so sexy in them lol
i think the bottom row of the women’s collection for h&m is ok BUT since these are staple items (aside from the khaki pants) you have to step it up and make it look different. oh and i want my man in that black jacket

Shai — WHY DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO SAY GUCCI OR CHANEL FOR YOU TO PAY 200 BUCKS. FIRST OF ALL DROPPING 200 IS LUDACRIS BUT WHY NOT SUPPORT A BLACK MAN OVER AN ITALIAN LINE THAT IS EXTREMELY PROSPEROUS…. IT KILLS ME HOW PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT CELEB LINES THAT ARE HIGH END …YET WILLING TO PAY FOR A WHITE ESTABLISHED DESIGNER ….

I doubt H&M will ever do online ordering, they’ve been out for awhile and haven’t done it yet. And I’m a curvy girl and I rock the hell outta H&M, but don’t buy their jeans, they do run small. But I love H&M. When they open the one in the A, everyone and they’re mama is going to be shopping there.

Nike is trying to jump on the bandwagon of the Reebok freestyles…that whole ’skittles taste the rainbow’/80s look is SO played now anyway. In my opinion that is.

Its bad enough that every bosy and they momma born after 1989 wanna bring the 80’s back with the doorknocker earrings, joke glasses, and a multi-colored outfit, which I think is played, but Nike’s about to come out with Hip-Hop teletubbie sneakers. I don’t know abou this one.
I am the poster-child for H&M especially Germany’s take on their trends.

I love H&M. Feeling the autumn mens line. Especially the coat. Them nikes can stay in the box.
