The best bits from the new collaboration that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
Mark your iCals: the hotly anticipated and entirely buzzy Alexander Wang x H&M line debuts in New York City today at what promises to be something of a invite-only scrum of a shopping experience before the collection hits stores on November 6. Keep your head on a swivel, your elbows pointed out, and go for the gold! Here, Vogue.com editors share what they’ve got their eyes on and what they’ll be lining up (and diving through the racks) for once those doors open.

I have a red puffer biker-style jacket that I get so many compliments on. I wore it so many times the past few winters, that I think it might be on its last season. I need another one! I have line phobia but I happened to stand in line at a sample sale for the first one and it paid off, so I ll stand in line again for something I know works!

As a person who is a relatively new exercise fanatic, I am perpetually frustrated by the lack of chic, sporty pieces to wear while I work out. I know some people will likely wear this scuba-esque bra as a shirt—and more power to them!—but it and I have a big date with my beloved Karen Lord Pilates Movement in the cards. And if I have to stand in line to pick it up? So be it.

It’s not a surprise that I’m a fan of a good beanie. They help in inclement weather or your typical bad hair day. I would sport this bicolor version with everything from a sleek suit to a more street-friendly ensemble consisting of an oversize sweater and skinny jeans.

My hands are the coldest extremity in my body! They even turn purple when it’s cold out and sometimes, I can’t feel my fingers for days. So it’s either these Alexander Wang boxing gloves for winter or taking multiple trips to the doctor.

These remind me of the shoes that spear fishermen wear with all their scuba garb! I have a penchant for wearing real sport clothing in daily life (I just bought a pair of authentic motocross pants in the spirit of the Marc by MJ s fall collection!) so naturally these amazing neoprene slip-on sneakers are worth standing in line for! I plan to wear these with my graphic Edun sweatpants and oversize Rag Bone neoprene tee that reminds me of a pillowcase. My iteration of elevated pajama dressing! At least that is what I will be calling it!
