"Images and looks from the ”one-time” Lanvin for H&M collection have just dropped online. GQ U.K. looks to have jumped GQ U.S. on this one. Lucas Ossendrijver Lanvin’s head of menswear design, speaking from his Paris studio. gives a strong response: “I’m so happy we’re not about the logo, but the special nature of the piece[s].” The 40 piece collection ranges from $24 to $240 for a suit – well under the Lanvin usual. Expect this collection to blowout instantly."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As yet another season of Autumn chill fills the air so to does the electric energy of fashion come anew as this Fall's offerings hit retail @ full force. I, for one, can hardly believe that it has been 2 months since 1st apprising Y.O.U. of the long awaited Lanvin for H&M collaborative effort. Where did the time go? No matter, as promised, the lords of luxury @ the oldest French fashion house in operation, Lanvin, have seen it fit to finally unveil the menswear arm of this cost cutter coveted collection.

Scheduled to go on sale November 20th in Canada and the US and November 23rd across the globe, the Lanvin for H&M Fall/Winter 2010/2011 range appears intent on making a point of drastically lowering this Parisian powerhouse labels' price point without sacrificing 1 iota of their legendarily refined aesthetic.

Although created by Lanvin head of menswear design Lucas Ossendrijver, this range looks positively Alber Elbaz inspired - from the ambrosial bow-ties to the magnificently tailored 3-piece suits! Very nice.

Furthermore, to add flattery to favor (READ: The opposite of adding, "insult to injury". Work with me people! LOL), this 40 piece collection of cool starts @ $24 for t-shirts and accessories and tops out @ an incredibly gracious $240 for a full on suit! What!? Porta Bella can barely beat those prices ... and their suits suck ... lol. Y.O.U. know your mission come November 20, 2010. Fix up and look sharp!



BONUS:

This is the brand new artsy-fartsy Lanvin for H&M mini-movie starring model Natasha Poly and a host of other malnourished femme fatales ... lol. The ladies collection is looking kinda heavy ma. My Livestyle Ladies need to make room in your budget for a few of these pieces. Stop playing.
