I mean, usually I am somwhat disappointed by the H&M design collaborations, it is either a designer that I don’t care for (jimmy choo) or what I like about the brand is not translated well (Viktor and Rolf, Marimekko etc) but this is one that I really, really hope looks good and translates well, because Albert’s work for Lanvin makes me want to die.

This joint-venture could rock the market and high-street stores.But I know: I wont be queuing up at seven in the morning before shop-opening.That is not my time.

I love Lanvin but I don’t have very high hopes for this collaboration. A lot of what is superlative about Lanvin depends on the fabric quality: all those raw hems and exposed seams will just look cheap if done in H&M grade fabric. Same with the draping, it won’t translate. I predict this will be lots of Alber’s sketches printed on t-shirts, some leopard print slip skirts, and some tops with grosgrain ribbon detailing. Probably not anything to queue over but I’d love it if I were surprised.

Margareta Van den Bosch did say that Lanvin will bring its draping and tailoring or something like that to H&M so I’m fairly certain that prices will be much higher than other collaborations, so I don’t think it’ll be Lanvin at H&M quality, I think it’ll be more like H&M at a higher quality. I’m pretty sure that regardless of how the collection turns out on November 2nd, I’ll still be up early in the morning lining up to get my hands on it because it’s hard for Lanvin to go wrong in my book.
