You’re gonna have to excuse my gushing on this one.
But it’s here… the collab of the year… the collab of the decade… the collab of the CENTURY (so far)! I can’t think of many more brands than H&M and Lanvin that I love, but together… WELL.
Last week I popped along to the launch and was, quite frankly, blown away. As a (frankly quite feeble) wannabe Lanvin collector I want to get all of it. The pieces are strong enough in themselves, kind of like a Lanvin’s greatest hits though strangely (or cleverly, depending on your point of view) without the sneakers that have made Lucas Ossendrijver’s work so universally admired. There’s cuffed tracksuit trousers harking back to A/W 08, bibbed shirts and satin bow ties, backless waistcoats… I may as well just use caps lock words like AMAZING INCREDIBLE MAJE ad infinitum and you’ll get the same thing. Ahem.
Spring/Summer 08- ring any bells?
This t-shirt’s a version of one from last Summer (10) that I really wanted (despite not liking tiger prints at all). Somehow thoguh the diamante eyes have put me off…
Tie-back waistcoats and a bibbed-front shirt. I think these are both inspired by A/W 08′s collection…
This washed tux jacket, for me, is the star of the show… apologies for the dodgy iPhone pics but I had to make sure that it really was only £79.99 and I wasn’t dreaming…
And after about a billion other blogs, here’s the lookbook images for your entertainment too…!
So there you go.
will be interesting to see in person fo sho. i really wasn’t keen on the lookbook though, felt boring to me
Wish we had H&M in Australia :(
