Lanvin for H&M

[Dkammern]

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.

 

[LabelWhore4]

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

 

[ChiStreetStyle]

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.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

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

 

[Erik3002]

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.

 

[ChiStreetStyle]

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?

 

[Dkammern]

^^ 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

 

[hanni]

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

 

[LoveKylie]

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.

Lanvin has officially been confirmed as the 2010’s big idea and (we know we overuse this phrase but this time we REALLY mean it) WE CAN NICHT WAIT!!!

Trade mag WWD have confirmed that Lanvin will be the next designer collaboration with H&M

[The_Ida]

YES! Ida Albert. Ida approves.

 

[Salvatore]

YES ! I cannot wait !!!!!!

 

[Scott]

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.

 

[adorefaith]

I can't even imagine the madness that is going to ensue.. and it's a shame really, seeing as the point of these collaborations (i think) is to make beautiful designs like Alber's more accessible to 'regular' folk.. and instead they become accessible usually to only the craziest, most determined, relentless of regular folk.. those who will wait and then run and push and scratch others to get a grab at what they want...

 

[isa.b.elle.]

^that's true!but now that i know about the collaboration...i just can't wait to see everything! love Alber also some reports that the collaboration should be ready for November..wow!that would be really fast

 

[honeycombchild]

It is, it launches Saturday November 13th, or the 6th, one of the two - I forget which! It's been known for some time. They announced months ago there would be a collaboration, and that's when it would launch, they just weren't planning on releasing who it was until much later.

 

[isa.b.elle.]

^oh thank you!!!i was ignoring all this h&m collaboration thing untile i saw the title of the thread..and my heart just melt
let's hope there are gonna be some nice design!i can imagine something like simple draping dresses,or typical Lanvin t.shirt with some of Alber's drawing..cant' wait

 

[MulletProof]

pleated black (or red) dresses, Alber, pretty please!!!!!!
