More Lanvin Loves H&M Tidbits: Closer Looks, H&M Shopping Intel

The Internet has gone Lanvin loves H&M crazy as we all wait with bated breath for the launch. Here are some closer looks from the line (images courtesy of Racked and Mizhattan):
























My favorite pieces have to be that yellow one shoulder ruffled dress, the poufed one shoulder dress, both fur coats, the tees, the non-patent heels, the red lipsticks, and the sunglasses. If I just make it out with a tee or two, a pair of those leopard sparkly heeled pumps, the teal trimmed pumps, a pair of sunglasses, and some lipstick, I'll be happy.

All items will come in the packaging pictured. That means shoes and accessories will come in those adorable Lanvin loves H&M boxes and clothes will be zipped up in garment bags upon purchase. Isn't that such a lovely touch? I just hope the quality is up to par with the prices, as this will mark H&M's most expensive designer collaboration yet. As lovely as some of these dresses and tees are and as much I can appreciate the vast differences in price between their namesake brand and this collaboration effort for H&M (that beautiful poufed one shoulder dress normally retails for just under $4k, and the whimsical tees will usually run you about $800), the regular, middle class shopper simply does not have $200-$300 to spend on a dress. So with prices like these can we expect women and resellers to flock in hoards to try and snap these up at H&M's across the U.S. by lining up at 4am? Who knows. I guess we'll have to wait in the cold and see, but thankfully not for as long as we were all anticipating. For the first time since H&M has started their designer collaborations, the stores will open earlier at 8am (rather than 10am) to accommodate the anticipated demand. I have a feeling, despite this economic climate, that these babies will still go like hotcakes.
