H&M collection Stine Riis

H&M is presenting the collection designed by Stine Riis – the first winner of the H&M Design Award 2012. Riis says her collection, including a wool skirt with leather panels and a winter coat with strong shoulders, can be described as ‘tailored futuristic elegance’.

In February, when the graduate from the London College of Fashion was announced the inaugural winner, Hilary Alexander commented: “Stine Riis took the top prize with a polished, well-cut collection of strict tailoring in contrasting materials including leather, wool, metallic and bonded fabrics. Her silhouette was lean but flowing, and particularly effective was her use of colour: a slim blue and orange bi-colour top, for example, or a blue coat stamped with white.”

The collection will debut on September 17th in UK during London Fashion Week, and is launched on September 20th in selected stores in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium. Selected pieces will also be available online.
