Lanvin Lovers | Lauren Milligan | 19 November 2010
ALBER ELBAZ coaxed some of his celebrity friends on to the catwalk last night for a couture show with a difference. Pixie Geldof, Dree Hemingway and Anna Dello Russo, amongst others, took to the runway as Elbaz hosted his Lanvin for H&M collection launch at the Pierre Hotel in New York. The designer customised dresses from the high street collection to make the launch show just a little more special.
"I think Alber Elbaz is great, I love what he does at Lanvin, it's so girly and playful and confident," Sofia Coppola said at the event. "It's so cool he's working with H&M, it makes it so accessible to all kinds of young people to be able to afford it and wear it."
Following the show the customised dresses, along with five original signed sketches by Elbaz, went up for auction on www.lanvinforhm.com. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to UNICEF as part of H&M's All for Children project. The online auction will end at midnight on November 26.
