Stuttgart (ots) Summer is just around the corner, and with it the latest trends for the most beautiful time of the year. “Shop the Look”, the new online format from Breuninger, showcases the highlights of the season to kick off a whole series of innovative digital events. This virtual shopping tour in the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart art museum is moderated by Rabea Schif and Lisa Banholzer, who present the latest trends and must-haves for the season and reveal their personal styling tips. Following the virtual launch with the “Digital Fashion Show” in March, the new online format “Breuninger Shop the Look” has now arrived. Selected women’s styles from premium brands such as Isabel Marant Étoile, Ganni, Baum und Pferdgarten, Mrs&HUGS and exquisite accessories from Stand Studio, Tod’s and Chloé are presented in exciting looks and styling variations. A close partnership with the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is once again of the essence: the extraordinary spaces at this art destination were chosen to present this exclusive digital format on 11 May 2021 at 7 p.m. A harmonious blend of architecture, major works of art and now the latest fashion trends come together here to create a one-of-a-kind urban atmosphere. Art and fashion have always been a winning combination, not only as a platform for the virtual shopping tour, but now also as a successful symbiosis in the display windows of Breuninger’s flagship store in Stuttgart: Samples from the WÄNDE | WALLS exhibition can still be seen here until 30 May 2021. Along with the joint staging of a site-specific theatre event by the Lokstoff! theatre in the Breuninger car park and the digital fashion show in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart museum, this is yet another visually stunning collaboration with regional creative artists. All styles from the virtual shopping tour can be purchased at breuninger.com directly after the event, or of course during the event itself. Viewers can also communicate with the fashion experts from Breuninger using a chat feature.

Tom Tailor originally launched its kidswear business in 1989 and licensed it out in 2017.

The first full digital collection sell-in will take place in July for delivery in February and March 2022. In addition to the important collection items, Tom Tailor will also offer a comprehensive NOS programme. “We look forward to developing the Tom Tailor Kids product lines in-house and extending the collection in line with our “BE PART” sustainability strategy. Integrating kidswear enables us to further strengthen our positioning as a casual lifestyle brand for all the family,” says CEO Gernot Lenz. “I would like to thank the Junior Fashion Group for their collaboration in the past few years.” About Tom Tailor GmbH Tom Tailor GmbH offers casual wear in the medium price segment and has a presence in over 30 countries.

HM ANNOUNCES A COLLABO“ RATION WITH JAPANESE CULT BRAND TOGA ON ARCHIVE CLAS“ SICS WITH A TWIST
H&M is happy to announce a unique collaboration with the Tokyo-based independent luxury label TOGA. Founded in 1997 by Yasuko Furuta, TOGA has gained critical acclaim and a devoted international fanbase for its experimental takes on wardrobe classics, defined by a genderless, fiercely individual approach to fashion. The collection will comprise exciting reimaginings of TOGA’s archival hits for men and women, given contemporary twists. The TOGA ARCHIVES x H&M collection will be available worldwide in selected stores and at hm.com from September 2.
Yasuko Furuta has built her brand on playful but cool pieces that explore sensuality in unusual ways, and this collection is true to her founding mission of exploring new ideas that become future standards. TOGA favourites — hybridised trench coats, deconstructed striped shirts, plissé skirts, dresses with clever cut-outs, and exacting tailoring — are all at play in the TOGA ARCHIVES x H&M collection. For women, classic tailoring in navy, grey and black features dashes of eccentricity, such as bead embellished pockets or silk scarf cape detailing; meanwhile dresses and skirts in bold floral and gingham prints pair cleverly with deconstructed knitwear. For men, eye-catching scarf prints appear in reversible bomber jackets, on loungewear and on a hybridised trench coat, alongside reworked sweaters and shirts. “Fashion is a great way to express your interests immediately and non-verbally. It’s much faster than a conversation about the artwork you are interested in, or the music or books that you like. When I first launched TOGA, I wanted to make clothes for people who are filled with curiosity and who are unafraid of change. With this collection for H&M, I am excited that a broader range of people will be able to discover and enjoy TOGA designs,” Yasuko Furuta, founder and creative director of TOGA. “At H&M, we have always admired Yasuko Furuta for imbuing her clothes with a very strong sense of personality. She enjoys the challenge that comes with creating an avant-garde look that is also easy to wear. It was a pleasure to spend time with her and her team, being inspired by designs from the TOGA archive. I can’t wait to see how customers all over the world style these playful but cool pieces, particularly the sensual TOGA signature cut-outs” Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative advisor at H&M.
