Yesterday, a rumor was floating around the web that Lanvin was set to be the next collaborator for H&M. As of this morning, that rumor has been confirmed, and we'll be getting a taste of Lanvin at H&M stores as early as November 20, 2010! That's VERY soon! They seem to have managed to keep it under wraps for quite some time. I guess that's a good thing, then the masses wouldn't have to wait with baited breath to see what a Lanvin collaboration with a mass market clothing brand would look like.
Will it be awe-inspiring or will it be atrocious? Guess we'll get to make that distinction as soon as November 2, because that's when the collection will be previewed, just three weeks shy from its actual launch date in stores. That's just about two months away! Eek. Even more interesting, the collection will feature womenswear AND menswear. No word on whether or not that will include their famous accessories and footwear. Let's hope so, and let's hope that the wares are real leather, just as Jimmy Choo x H&M items were, except this time, hopefully they're of higher quality. I'd rather pay a slightly elevated price point for goods made out of more luxurious materials. You get what you pay for.
Lanvin for H&M will debut in 200 stores nationwide on November 20, 2010. Mark those calendars NOW.
ETA: According to Nitrolicious, there will be 30 womenswear pieces along with 15 accessories, and 25 menswear pieces, along with 10 accessories. That's alot to look forward to!
