A Story Behind Lanvin X H&M
It has been over a week over the buzz of Lanvin for H&M event and I’ve only just got time to tell what has happened during the event. As I walked into the H&M on Oxford Street in the morning, I collected my time-queue wrist band which allows me to enter the security guarded area at 11:25am. I had another hour and half to kill and plus by realizing the mens Lanvin X H&M collection was actually downstairs in a separate section, I walked down escalator in a search of the mens tuxedo jacket in cream white.
Shop assistant told me they have only ordered the Navy version of the tux. After trying on both 36 and 38, I decided to choose the bigger version to achieve the boxy look which was demonstrated by Anna Dello Russo during previous Fashion Week time.
After the easy success of grab of the navy tux I realized that I still had another 1 hour to kill. So I turned to my Twitter account to get some news on the updates by other fellow fanshionistas. Suddenly one of my favourite bloggers 00o00 tweeted his frustration of getting onto mens site of H&M website. 00o00 has always got this magic ability by explaining some financial complex side of fashion in a super easy way. By readying his blog in the past time has lend me a natural trust on this person who I’ve never met. He had an operation on knee/leg recently and had to stay at home under doctor’s advice. I totally could understand the situation. So I thought it would be easy for me to grab something for him since I’ve been admiring his blog for this long.
A few tweets and communication with radio waves (I mean mobile phone) later…I’ve got everything off his shopping list. I am quite proud of myself for helping out on this case. As I said before, shopping is like a fate, when it means to be yours, it will become yours. The end of this story was I met 00o00 later and handed over the goods. It’s really great to see how much joy you could bring to people. It turns out that 00o00 also speaks Chinese and we chatted away about our fashion views and even some iconic Chinese singers. To my surprise, he brought a little gift to say thank you. It is an expensive fragrant candle by Cire Trvdon which is now happily burning and that festivale scent is now floating around my house. Happy Christmas everyone!
…and PS, 1 hour later that day, I got what I wanted off my shopping list without any hassle
