H&M's younger line, Divided, is all about creative design with references from the latest international trends as well as from the street and club scenes.
The diverse Divided collection is a way to express your personality with clothes and accessories.
To make the most and the best of your style, your way.
"The Divided concept has a style that attracts both grown-up and teenage customers.
I think the creativity and comfort is the key to success.
Great patterns and prints, cool styles, and, most importantly, the latest trends translated in a playful and unpretentious manner," says H&M's head of design Margareta van den Bosch.
This autumn, the design team at H&M Divided have been inspired by 1950s rockabilly, elegant 70s rock style, and the layered grunge styling or clean Minimal looks from the 90s.
Sports-inspired pieces and vintage couture silhouettes complete the variety, along with an extensive selection of jeans and denim styles.

Presented by judges Tamara Salman (design director at Liberty) and Chris Sargeant (SDC vice-president for fashion/design), the award is the first of its kind with this being the first year the SDC has been a sponsor at GFW.
The judges, looking for a creative and inspired use of colour, selected a shortlist of three finalists from all the students nominated.
The winning collection was entitled "Second skin" and showcased bright all-in-one catsuits in vivid pink and gold prints.
Comments Lindsay, "The nomination and winning of the Society of Dyers and Colourists award has completely blown me away.
It's such a huge honour to have won, and to know my work has been recognised at a high standard."

When the 2007 Fall/Winter haute couture shows began in Paris, Italian designer Valentino was missing.
He'd chosen instead to show his new collection in Rome and to stage an elaborate three-day celebration of his 45th anniversary as a stylist.
The shift from France to Italy was the designer's way of paying homage to the Eternal City, both for receiving him so enthusiastically when he began his career half a century ago, and for the changes that have taken place across the Eterna in the past decades, turning it into a world-class cultural center: "I think of Rome not as a fashion capital but a culture capital," he said.
"I've come back after all those years in Paris because I think it was only right to show affection for the city that adopted me almost 50 years ago."
Among the festivities was the inauguration of a retrospective exhibit called "Valentino in Rome.
45 Years of Style" installed in the city's new Ara Pacis Museum.
The extravagant exhibit will remain on display until 28 October 2007.

In the 40 years that humans have been traveling into space, the suits they wear have changed very little.
The bulky, gas-pressurized outfits give astronauts a bubble of protection, but their significant mass and the pressure itself severely limit mobility.
Dava Newman, a professor of aeronautics and astronautics and engineering systems at MIT, wants to change that.
Newman is working on a sleek, advanced suit designed to allow superior mobility when humans eventually reach Mars or return to the moon.
Her spandex and nylon BioSuit is not your grandfather's spacesuit - think more Spiderman, less John Glenn.
