maybe there are more than a few designers doing pieces this year.

^Thats definitely Alber 100%.

I Think the woman is Anna Molinari of Blumarine for some reason.
and the First video sounds like Tomas Maier.

And another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNuXnsAI0Ow

for some reason that silhouette screams rick owens to me.

 

[lovesick]

That's definitely not Rick Owens. He doesn't have those tattoos.
But it would be awesome if it was him!

My theory:
The big collaboration will be with Shiatzy Chen and all the other designers represented in those short videos are gonna make one piece each (for example Tshirts).

 

[ellegirl]

It will be Shiatzy Chen. I think that these are just teasers to make us warm for her collection because she isn't that famous in Europe and the USA.

 

[honeycombchild]

How would this make us warm to it though? If anything, if it turns out to be Shiatzy I'd just be highly annoyed.

I'm sure if that was the case anyway it wouldn't have made it to Wikipedia months ago, and I'm even more sure it would have been corrected/altered if it was true!

I really hope it's not.

jumping on the guessing bandwagon here...

the video of the guy with tattoos definitely has Alber Elbaz's voice. Perhaps they are mixing the designers with different voiceovers...

ok there is the Elbaz voice in one/or even two videos for sure - damn, designers t-shirts would be smart answer for those many ppl in videos but 1. they clearly talking about collab 2. H&M is making it big so i doubt that it will end up just with t-shirt ( or any one piece ) collection 3. also i really DON'T think it is Shatzy or any no-name designer - the hype around those videos is way to big - ppl ( including me ) would be so angry if it would end up with something like "taiwanese chanel" Well i hope

I agree with everything you said...maybe the designers will actually be "collaborating" to make a grand collection for h&m? I only say so because in the latest video with the person with the white tipped nails, he says "it's very us" at the very end.

 

[Cristal]

I'm going to be very surprised (and disappointed) if it turns out to be Shiatzy Chen. With all this hype it better be something huge

 

[honeycombchild]

I'm not convinced the voice belongs to the guy in the video at all... perhaps they are just models. This is all sooo confusing. It better be someone huge and an incredible get, after all of this. To me they're either sitting on someone huge, or their making up for the fact they didn't have someone huge.

Hopefully it's the former.

And yes, it does sound like Alber..

 

[The_Ida]

Just ordered this parka...

And this top

hm.com

The parka will be glorious. It's so warm and comfy, and it's already getting cold! OK so I'm just back from Tunisia so everything feels cold

 

[gossiping]

not long till online store for uk people

New one. This voice is the same voice as the one where the woman had a big necklace on, the one people thought was Westwood... to me that pretty much proves that these voices are not going with the people, the people are probably models.

Interestingly this one speaks about how the team at H&M might be doing fashion but she fully believed they could also design cars? Maybe they've looked outside the world of Fashion for the collaborators. No doubt they'll be more videos today.

This is going to be a LONG eight days.

^I just love the guesses on H&Ms facebook. People are randomly throwing in designers' names (Gucci and Prada because that's all they've ever heard of), some say it will be Lady Gaga, and my favorite is the one where someone says the guy in the previous video was Louis Vuitton


I still have no clue who or what it could be

you mean LV by himself? great, that's just great - now we must add Coco to that list and we are ready

Well Westwood - voice could be somewhere close but what about accent? the woman ( but also man ) are clearly not native in english, god 8 days - H&M should start the guessing little later - 10 days or more of this game is too much and it will be boring if they will not show something new, not only more videos.

 

[honeycombchild]

I'm just hoping if they do plan on releasing videos each day that each one gets us a little closer to the answer.

It's all filled with riddles. The one about the water yesterday was odd.

 

[Chanelcouture09]

It's clearly Alber, they have distorted his voice by upping the pitch making his voice appear squeaky.

Lanvin for H&M would be amazing and i would suspect it would be their best selling collaboration.

Lanvin For H&M?

LANVIN is reportedly collaborating with H&M. Reports were sparked after the high street chain released two ambiguous videos teasing viewers about its next designer tie-up. As of yet French fashion house have not confirmed or dispel rumours.
Rumours of Lanvin's new venture come after yesterday's unfounded reports that Bottega Veneta's Tomas Maier is next in line to design for the Swedish fashion giant. The luxury label told us exclusively that Maier has no plans to launch a joint line.
The store has previously teamed up with Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel, Jimmy Choo, Comme des Garcons and Viktor & Rolf.
According to WWD, H&M will unveil its new collaborative design project on September 9.
