Lanvin for H&M


Exciting news has finally been confirmed on the UK’s high-street this week.  Wait for it…. Lanvin will be the next luxury name to be collaborating with H&M.  Yes indeed.  It’s like music to my ears.  Joining Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel, Jimmy Choo, Comme des Garcons and Viktor & Rolf - Lanvin is set to add even more kudos to this already fiercely, fashion forward high-street brand.

The collection will have a special unveiling on 2nd November, before hitting stores on 23rd November.  Designed by artistic director Albert Elbaz and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, the Lanvin signature detailed tailoring style will be as sharp and refreshing as ever - even more so because it won’t hurt our flexible plastic friend!




When Stella’s collection for the label first landed in H&M’s Oxford Circus flagship store in 2005, it was total mayhem.  I remember the carnage vividly through first hand experience.  It was eat or be eaten – seriously.  Each collaboration since has been equally as successful, with pieces flying off the rails faster than a cheetah on heat. 

I’ve said it before and I will say it again - the fashion high-street in London is like no where else in the world.  That’s one of the main reasons why I love living in London.  Just remember to wear extra padding around your ribs that day, as it’s set to get vicious.  Good luck.
