Lanvin for H&M? Yes, Please!

Wednesday, Sep 1, 2010 / 8:53 AM

The word in Paris is that Lanvin might be the next H&M collaborator. If it is indeed true, the collection will hit stores in early November.

I must rejoice! I’ve been a bit disappointed by the H&M collaborations over the past few seasons. An Alber collection should be a return to the Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfeld days of yore.

What’s more, Lanvin is not one of those brands where one can find an “affordable” piece here or there. Even the Acne x Lanvin dresses were $800 or more–I was lucky enough to find one at the Barneys warehouse sale for $40 about a year ago. I think I’ll wear it today in honor of this wonderful news.

I’m hoping for something like the look featured here to show up in the collection. Which Lanvin silhouette would you like to get your hands on?

Excited how the joint-venture will run.But even if the selection is not overwhelming( I doubt that by the way), the people still going nuts for it.

This is ridiculous!! I’m gonna be camping out the DAY before!

yeah the collaborations are exciting when you first hear about it because you’re like ‘finally! affordable high fashion looks!’ then you see the final product and it’s like getting a lump of coal for christmas…STEP IT UP H&M!

Can’t have your cake and eat it too.

H&M will never “step it up” because they won’t make any money.

The only collaboration that has found a perfect balance between quality and price is Uniqlo x Jil Sander.

But I would still be excited to see what something like this, recreated, would look like…

I just hope it’s going to be more than knock-offs of those illustrated Alber tees.

It’s true! Just got a press release announcing the colaboration for fall this year in Germany :)

This collaboration would be incredible. My favorite this far was definitely H&M + Cavalli. Of course I mixed it up with some vintage :-)

not that excited about it honestly! H&M uses poor fabrics, even incredible design and patterns could be messed up by that
