Lanvin for H&M.

The most exciting fashion news to hit the high street in YEARS emerged over the last few days as rumours of a Lanvin/H&M collaboration emerged. When this was confirmed this morning via a youtube video, a number of fashionistas worldwide began to buy camping equipment, as this will be insane.


The adorable Alber Elbaz is a rarity in that he creates clothes for women in sumptuous fabrics that are both artistic and wearable. Alber is well known for the fact he only allows models to walk in his show in outfits that make them look beautiful, whereby you can 'see their faces, not just the clothes.' Alber has completely reformed Lanvin since he became artistic director in 2001, turning the label from a dying house to one of the most successful and stylish to date. One can only hope the collection will contain beautifully draped dresses, chic coats and a version of the luxury t-shirt with Alber's drawings on that I have been dreaming of for years. With the recent lacklustre high street collaborations, Lanvin will bring back some much needed luxury to H&M with quality clothes for (hopefully) reasonable prices.
