I've seen dozens of H&M designer collaborations cross my desk over the last several years. The label's October 16 team-up with Lorena Saravia is undeniably breaking new ground.
Over H&M's two decades of designer collaborations—ranging from Simone Rocha and Mugler to, as of this week, Glenn Martens—a label with Mexican origins has never appeared on the list. Lorena Saravia is the very first. She took the opportunity to bring her personal history and signature aesthetics to the Swedish retailer's global platform, in a 29-piece collection.
Every detail is suffused with Saravia's heritage in the resulting line-up of draped skirts, fringe jackets, and open-back tops. Buttons are inspired by lion earrings her grandmother used to wear. The palette—rich shades of tan, chocolate brown, and cream—evokes the desert landscape.
"When I started my brand, I wanted to create something distinctly Mexican that embodied quality, impeccable cut, and contemporary style for the modern woman," she said in a press release. "Mexico is often seen as a macho society, but women have always been a formidable force. My hope is that every woman who wears my designs feels inspired and empowered."
After browsing the collection, I've found my highlights to check both boxes. They're already selling out, and not only because they neatly align with some of fall's biggest fashion trends like suede jackets and pleated trousers. They're stitched with truly personal style.

From the front, this is a versatile long-sleeve top. The open back truly sets it apart.
Two words: Party. Skirt. This draped mini is going to go triple-platinum in my holiday outfits.
Pleated pants are only going to get bigger over the next few months—just see Marie Claire's freshly-published Spring 2026 trend guide for proof. I say, get a head-start with this twill pair.
I'll admit denim mini skirts aren't usually my forte. But the dark wash and V-hem skirt are enough to change my tune.
If there's one fall staple I can't help shopping in multiples, it's a suede bag. This crossbody-clutch hybrid has the dreamiest woven pouch and room for all the essentials.
I've been hearing whispers that going-out tops are back. This asymmetric satin shirt proves it.
I thought I'd seen every fall denim silhouette under the sun, but this pair still managed to take me by surprise. I can't wait to see how the split-hem flare can spotlight my favorite kitten heels and boots.
