H&M and The Vampire Wife collaborated on a dark, feminine and mysterious collection made from sustainably sourced materials and it is being introduced just days ahead of Halloween. The collection is full of glamourous and dramatic silhouettes, and it includes standouts like the mini dress with signature shoulders, a velvety mini dress and the romantic silvery lace cape—all of which are made with recycled nylon and recycled polyester.
The designs are full of dark, playful and feminine details like ruffled hems and collars, eye, cloud and teeth icons, plus retro details that remind of decades past. According to H&M, the campaign for The Vampire Wife collaboration explores "themes of strength, vulnerability, intimacy, the unknown and womanhood."
