Madonna and J.Lo Will Get Their H&M For Lanvin After All

Madonna and J.Lo Will Get Their H&M For Lanvin After All

by

Earlier this week, in an item about the Lanvin for H&M collab, WWD quoted an H&M spokesperson as saying, “Madonna and J.Lo have [already] asked for pieces from the collection, but we’re not lending out clothes until the runway show on Nov. 18.”

Then Elle noticed that some British starlets (who are way less famous than Madonna and J.Lo) were wearing the collection on Wednesday. Then I noticed that Leighton Meester was wearing the leopard pumps at a Vogue event on Wednesday as well. And then a reader pointed out that Korean actress Ha Ji Won wore head-to-toe Lanvin for H&M to the Asiana International Short Film Festival on November 4.

So it seemed peculiar that all of these young actresses across the globe had somehow managed to get into Lanvin for H&M and Madonna and J.Lo would have to wait until November 18. Turns out it’s not true.

Fashion News Roundup: Madonna Can’t Borrow Lanvin for H&M, Zac Posen Will Design Bella Swan’s Wedding Dress and Karen Elson Cops to Copying Christina Hendricks’ Hair

Keds Goes Back to The 90s: Keds has released a limited edition collection of sneakers called “Alternative to Everything.” We’re absolutely smitten with these 90s-inspired sneakers, which come in acid wash blue, gray denim and red plaid. {Refinery 29}

Copied Dye Job: Christina Hendricks told Harper’s Bazaar that way back when she was a model, she told Karen Elson that she should be a red head and gave Elson her formula. Now Elson’s confessed that Hendrick’s did, in fact, inspire her to go red. {The Cut}

Lanvin x H&M Drama: When Jennifer Lopez and Madonna both asked to “borrow” (i.e. have it before anyone else) pieces from the Lanvin x H&M collection, they were told that no one was allowed to wear the collection before the runway show on November 18. If this is true, then why were a few British celebs pictured wearing pieces from the collection at London’s Lanvin preview? Sure, Roisin Murphy and Sohpie Ellis-Bextor are celebs, but they’re no Madonna. What gives? {Elle}

Lanvin for H&M: The Full Collection

Lanvin for H&M: The Full Collection

Happy Lanvin for H&M Day! American press previews the H&M for Lanvin collaboration later today, but the UK has already seen the hotly anticipated collection and Vogue.com UK posted the whole shebang. It’s every bit as good as you hoped it would be, so we’ve posted the the entire women’s line. The dresses–especially the floral prints and one-shoulders–voluminous short skirts, and pointy-toed heels (especially the red patent leather ones with the ribbons at the ankles)–are some of our favorites.

We expect sleeping bags for blocks around H&M’s across the US as November 20 approaches. Will you be in line? What are you dying to get your hands on?
