The Lanvin For H&M Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Collection = It's About To Be Discount Frequent Fashion Flyer Mileage Time Out This Bitch!

"H&M has just confirmed that its next designer collaboration will be with Lanvin! The collection for both men and women will be designed by Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, and is slated to go on sale on November 23 in around 200 H&M stores worldwide.

“H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.” Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin.

“We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men. The launch in November is going to be full of wonderful surprises.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.

On November 2, the collection will be revealed to the world, just three weeks before the clothes hit the store, and I’m sure it will be one of the most anticipated event[s] of the year!"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As the notoriously adamantly anti-trend C.hief E.xecutive O.fficer and custodian of the Livestyle brand, one might be surprised that there are, however, a handful of fads that I actually do adore. Case In Point: Mass fashion (NOTE: Of course with the caveat that the "mass fashion" in question is 1) a limited edition run and 2) a typically astronomically priced label descending to Earth like Manna from the Heavens to feed cash flow constrained yet "in the know" style starved mere mortals ... lol). That having been well established, the just announced Lanvin For H&M Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Collection already seems poised to fulfill my Autumn fashion wishes!

Sans any pictures of the Alber Elbaz (NOTE: He's got the womenswear) and Lucas Ossendrijver (NOTE: He's got the menswear) designed collection though, I can only wax but so poetically @ this time lest my vivid imagination get too carried away and the homie start to lying ... lol.

Nevertheless, based upon Lanvin's legendarily exquisite detailing and innovative silhouettes and H&M's prior upscale-designer-@-considerably-downscale-prices collaboration successes (NOTE: Such as the Karl Lagerfeld and Sonia Rykiel campaigns), what can be said with near certainty is that once revealed on November 2, 2010, the full Lanvin ensemble should have more than a few good looks for retail. Don't expect them to all be winners though ... this is Lanvin for H.ennes & M.oritz (NOTE: Pronounced "Hennys" Y.O.U. suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! Now, go and blow your friends mind with that useless factoid ... lol).

Word To The Wise: Y.O.U. already know, when this shit drops, don't even do the line wrapped around the block thing on Broadway or wherever your city's main H&M store is located. Be a smart shopping hunter-gatherer. Go rape the racks in the suburbs! Stay tuned!

"Behold: the pieces of Chanel's Mobile Art Exhibit as they currently lay in Rumsey Playfield in Central Park! Friends, as we type this, construction workers are putting together this structure — the Greatest Handbag Pavilion Known to Man — in earnest. The exhibit, which showcases Chanel-handbag-inspired art, opens to the public on [Monday] October 20. The structure designed by Zaha Hadid takes three weeks to assemble. As you see, Chanel has provided construction workers with some mighty fine hard hats. Steal one before Chanel starts selling them in stores for thousands of dollars."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ok, so we're in agreement - Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel are trying to leave me speechless and scratching my 2-against-the-grain-ceaser in disbelief. Well, Chanel and superlative fashion genius iconoclast/German SS robo fag Karl Lagerfeld are probably less worried about me scratching my head in sheer amazement and are more concerned with how fast the ladies of the world will scratch their expertly manicured nails @ the very bottoms of their plush purses whilst reaching for their wallets ... lol.

Anyway, after crash landing (not really) in Tokyo and Hong Kong, on their continued mission to abduct and study only the flyest people from the 4 corners of the Earth the Chanel Mobile Art spaceship has settled in New York City's Central Park for a limited engagement. Never fear, all intergalactic chicks can cop the Chanel "Gun Shoes" (as modeled by the just-got-un-married Madonna) from their 2009 Cruise Collection. Pistol packin' P.Y.T. pumps, huh? Go 'head sex shooter ... lol!
