LOOK FOR..............

Another fabo-collabo from H&M. This time the Swedish retail giant is teaming up with French fashion house Lanvin. Each time H&M collaborates with another powerhouse brand as they have in the past, Karl Largerfeld, Stella McCartney, Matthew Williamson and Jimmy Choo, just to name a few, the fashion world gets a buzzing trying to guess and speculate on which designer is next to say I do to H&M. I have seen all sorts of wish lists on who the public thinks should be next, and while I agree with some of the choices, I have to say that I personally am hoping for Balmain or DVF and in my wildest dreams, Chanel. The H&M and Lanvin collaboration will consist of menswear and womenswear. While the collection certainly will not be as expensive as a regular Lanvin garment or accessory, Lanvin Artisitc Director Alber Elbaz states that the collection is anything but a "dress for Less" collection. Given the fact that he says he would never have vowed to do a "mass-market collection" he states that this collaboration "is more about H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public". In other words, expect great quality garments at great prices, but not to the tune of walking into an H&M with $100.00 and coming out with five pieces from the collection. Sneak-peeks of what is to come can be viewed by all on November 2nd via film on the website www.hm.com and three weeks from then on November 23rd the collection is slated to debut in over 200 stores worldwide.
