Harlem women will be happy that as Business Of Fashion reports that Parson grad Alexander Wang has announced a partnership with Swedish fast fashion label H&M on 125th Street in Harlem. The announcement was made on Saturday night at around midnight EST with a video posted to the designer’s new Instagram account showing only a digital countdown to “Wang x HM” on a basketball scoreboard and the numbers “11″ and “06,” indicating that the resulting collection will launch in stores on November 6th, 2014.
Wang, who is the creative director of Balenciaga as well as the creative director of his eponymous label, follows in the footsteps of major fashion industry names like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Donatella Versace, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin and Isabel Marant, who have all collaborated with H&M.
