Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.
It's finally here! After six months of hype, Alexander Wang x H&M hits select stores at 8am today and hm.com at 10am EST. We braved the notoriously chaotic, invite-only pre-shop at the retailer's gleaming Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City last night in effort to snag a few of our favorite pieces.
Scenes from the mania and our resultant haul in the video above, including the leather jacket, the bikini, and the $299 booties. Press play to hear how the collection measures up IRL, from the fit (which runs small) to material (we're impressed).
