You know the saying 'fake it 'til you make it'? I find that this applies best to the 'active lifestyle' compartment of my life. I love killer workout gear - I mean, few things make me happier than a sweet new pair of running shoes. And when I walk into the gym with my hot pink earbuds, my neon kicks, and tight black running pants that make my gams look like those of a highly trained ninja warrior, I feel that runner's high that people who run always talk about. As for the working out part of the equation? Meh. 

But I plan on making several appearances in the YMCA cardio room, salsaing my way through a Zumba class or two, and maybe even getting outdoors for a brisk fall jog in the new Alexander Wang x H&M collection, if only to show it off. Sporty to the max, the lookbook just dropped full of black and grey separates fit for any urban athlete, whether in intention or in actual practice. I'm totally out of breath over those leggings. Phew. 

Mark your calendars and get ready to warm up those arms for some swift grabbing - the competition for the best pieces is sure to be fierce. The Alexander Wang x H&M collection launches in 250 H&M stores worldwide and online November 6th. In the meantime, be sure to tune in live to the NYC launch at 8:15 pm tonight at hm.com/wangxhm

Alexander Wang Arrives at H&M this Fall

Fashionphiles did a few extra fist pumps at Coachella this weekend with the announcement of H&M`s next big designer collab. You`ve heard of Alexander Wang, I`m sure - fashion wunderkind, Parsons grad, Creative Director of Balenciaga, creator of the celeb fav Rocco duffel, etc. etc.

Since 2007, the New York-based designer`s eponymous brand has established itself as cool, current and quintessentially urban, thanks to its easy tailoring and mostly all-black palette. Since Wang has both a men and women`s line, the Alexander Wang for H&M collection will follow suit with apparel and accessories for both men and women.

Alexander Wang says, “I am honoured to be a part of H&M’s designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to push boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.” Read: ``You penny-pinching mofos will finally be able to afford my overpriced shit.`` Pardon my street.

The full collection will be available in 250 H&M stores worldwide starting November 6th, 2014. Ex-ci-ting! And also frus-tra-ting. November is SO far away!
