aborations sell out in seconds. And this one will too
Founded by designer yasuko Furuta, a regular at London Fashion Week since 2014, toga’s aesthetic is best described as ‘quirky made accessible’ — think deconstructed blazers, asymmetric skirts, wrap-over trousers and tulle trench coats.
With prices ranging from £300 for a top to £900 for a pleated midi-skirt, the h&M collaboration brings the price down dramatically: there are toga dresses costing from £99 and separates from £70.
you can expect the same experimental take on wardrobe classics, but with the eccentricity dial turned down a few notches. If you want workwear with a twist, head to the contemporary tailoring. a navy blazer is transformed with a cape detail fashioned from a patterned silk scarf (far right). a pair of wide-leg trousers (second from right) has a similar flourish — the front of the legs are slashed to the knee, with the same silk fabric underneath.
Cut-outs are a toga signature. a kneelength beaded tunic has a large oval one over a hip (middle). It’s less revealing than it seems, as it’s intended to be worn over trousers or leggings. try it over the collection’s gingham trousers.
on a full-skirted midi dress (second from left) a cut-out over one knee gives a feminine design a quirky edge.
Perhaps one of the prettiest pieces is a vintage-style dress in a dark, dramatic floral print (third from right) that feels perfect as we head into autumn.
this range has just the right number of playful touches to draw compliments without feeling try-hard. another h&M collaboration that gets it spot on.
