A Story Behind Lanvin X H&M

Qing — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 00:01:24 +0000

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

So yeah Lanvin for H&M collection is finally out. We all can not wait for it. And the title catch line has that super girlie powerness —- ‘ I don’t want flowers, I want Lanvin!’ The collection is undoubtedly huge between mens and womens. I have put below collage together as a wish list including the Mens white tux jacket, lush!

Then I thought the wish list is a bit too long. I will never be able to get them all in the battle. So I reduced the wish list a little bit, which is the collage below… Mens white tux is still a must-have, as well as the lipstick and the sun glasses. So what’s your wish list of Lanvin for H&M??

The past three months have been insanely busy, so I haven’t had the opportunity to post much. However, I have been writing a few drafts in this period that I will try to wrap up and post in the coming few days. First one up – Fashionomics!

Just overheard Hilary Alexander on Versace: 'the only show where the heels measured more than the skirts.' Very true.

There’s an economic theory that says that hemlines rise in good economic times and drop in poor times. If one was to judge by the hemlines at some of the fashion show weeks this season, the economy is definitely skyrocketing next year and the recession will finally be over.

So, is there any truth to this theory? Only time will tell…
