HOT OFF THE PRESS: Lanvin to Design Exclusive Collection for H&M This Autumn
H&M just officially announced their collaboration with the paris based designer Lanvin. Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin, stated “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”
“We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men. The launch in November is going to be full of wonderful surprises.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.
Lanvin is SUPER pricey, so this collaboration is a girl’s dream! The collection will be available in over 200 stores worldwide on November 23, 2010. The entire collection (men and women) will be revealed on November 2, 2010 via video on www.hm.com. We can’t wait!!
