Gisele Bundchen for H&M!




(images from E!)

Gisele Bundchen takes the new H&M fall campaign on the streets of London! The former Victoria's Secret Angel is seen in looks from sky high black leather boots, complimented by a black hat, a cosy cream jumper with a soft and fluffy texture, along with skinny jeans! It seems as though the iconic skinny jean is here to stay after the recent trend of the boyfriend jean took the high street by storm, however, according to H&M and this campaign, they are still well behind the popular, figure hugging silhouette that the skinny creates!

The collection also gives a sense of Military which was a big trend in recent falls throughout the past years, so we may see the return of this trend with khaki coloured designs and just like Rihanna for River Island A/W13 collection, there may also feature a lot of camo print designs.

One thing is for certain, H&M is bound to be on trend for any looks taking the fall by storm this Autumn/Winter.
