The Vampire's Wife [1] is creating a collection of dresses exclusively for H&M that has instantly got us in the Halloween [2] mood. The romantic and witchy Victorian-inspired collection debuts on H&M's online store on 22 Oct — so mark your calendars, because we certainly are!

The brand's designer Susie Cave told British Vogue [3] that "H&M took great pains to find the very essence of what The Vampire's Wife is about, and then realised my dreams to my exact specifications. To design a dress at The Vampire's Wife and get it through to the finish line is extremely difficult, miraculous really, as we are a small company. H&M is extraordinarily powerful in that respect."

The anticipated collection is inspired by Cave's fascination with the medieval history of the gothic town of Lewes in England, and features a capsule of mostly black prairie dresses with visible design cues from the Victorian era. Ahead, get a closer look at The Vampire's Wife x H&M.
