H&M 2010 Collaboration - Alber Elbaz?
 

H&M wants us to guess who the next designer collaboration will be with!
they've posted some videos on youtube and there's lots of speculation already.
Some say Tomas Maier, others say Carolina Herrera, some say Lanvin
I say Lanvin!! I think they've just tried to trick us by using different people in the ads, but if you listen closely (and if you compare to interviews online) it very much sounds like Alber Elbaz in all the different videos (all of them being altered to sound like different people)

judge for yourselves!!

a "sample" of Alber's voice

Without a doubt that's Alber's voice in the videos.

It's wonderful that they've teamed up with him for this years collaboration, but I don't plan on trying to get my hands on anything.

^Can you imagine what a nightmare the lines will be?!:shock:

I think this might be the only time in my life I will ever camp out in a tent on the sidewalk waiting for a product release.

If it's Alber, then it's definitely going to be more chaotic trying to even touch a single piece of the upcoming collaboration collection

I think my heart just skipped a beat at the idea of Lanvin doing a collaboration with H&M. I might just have to camp outside.

Does each H&M carry an individualized assortment of pieces? Like, should I try to find out ahead of time which pieces from the collection will be sold in the Michigan Ave store vs. the State Street store?

^^ they always release lists of which stores carry the collection, but I don't think they say which pieces. Perhaps if you contacted a very nice PR that was really willing to help :)

I would die if it's finally Lanvin it's one of my dreams i would definetly buy some stuff

I'm not too sure about Lanvin, before these videos were relased the rumor was Shiatzy Chen..yes the voice is similar, but it's seems too good to be true. Also, would Lanvin need a viral campaign, don't the name speaks for itself..I think a less known name fits a viral campain better..but I might be wrong.

According to Grazia, it is now confirmed that it's Lanvin.

should be pretty good. at least i hope. too bad not very many people will get a chance to touch the stuff since it'll sell out in a millisecond....not to mention the grotesque ebay vultures.
