Lanvin x H&M

[canadafaf]

On the 1st Lanvin confirmed that they would be working together with H&M on a line that will be released on the 23th of November.

They will preview the line on the 2nd of November.

Are you guys optimistic about this given the past failures H&M has endured with collaborations?

ehh...didnt like half of NYC line up for that J+ shit?

ehh...didnt like half of NYC line up for that J+ shit?

Probably, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't line up again for this.

[sawyer]

moved from superfashion random thoughts ...

what does that mean on a practical level? is ossendrijver going to ship a box of old sketches and leftovers from his last sample sale to a chinese production manager? elbaz gonna bump elbows and get sweaty with a bunch of interns at a french atelier and crank out 500 blazers by the end of november?

or is that whole process a mystery, in which case i can assume the worst and ignore the entire thing?

Hey. HEY. It's +J. (5) And yeah, there was a pretty big line but a different crowd, kind of. With +J it's just tailored basics in slightly better fabrics, and it's a continuing seasonal collaboration.

With H&M collabs you have the same shit and insane ebay resellers. I'm too lazy to find the video of the CdG opening: insane rush in with some people fighting over shit. I remember reading about some SuFu head that went and said some azn resellers brought family so they could get around the buying limit.

If you're on a budget, +J is worth it. H&M collabs aren't. Ever.

H&M collabs are really bad.

While providing badly clothes (quality, design, etc wise), they're harming other (small) stores that sell (designers) clothes.

people will think they buy high fashinz stuff at HM but its just shit and it simply gives more power to HM (and more money to Lanvin).

There's a problems when more than the 3 / 4 of the "streetstyling" shots are people wearing HM and cheap stuff like that.

[bryanayrb]

h&m x cdg was dumb. ppl grabbing whatever the fuck they could find, murking the mannequins of the clothes and trying on shit on the spot inside the store

i dont think this collabo is gonna be much better

[Desi]

am i a bad person to say that I am very interested?

[hurricane08]

let's first see this collab...but ok when a garment is cheap ,i don't have much expectations...a good/bad commercial trick

this is humiliating and sad

he is basically saying that whatever Lanvin charges thousands for can be reproduced at a fraction of the cost.

if this were true, then Lanvin simply sucks at making clothes because they need to charge $2000 for an item that could be produced for $50. if its not true, then he basically lying or can't tell the difference between a mediocre and high-quality product.

either way, my respect for Elbaz shrank immensly.

this is marketing/an advertisement, there's no way he actually believes those words that are coming out of his mouth

[mike lowrey]

yea that was pretty much my point, while there is of course a premium in Lanvin pricing just because of the name, there is obviously a massive difference in material and fabrication quality to H&M. so he is basically talking crap.

wow ... definitely humiliating. he must be getting paid an insane amount of money to basically shit on his own brand.

i always liked what Elbaz had to say from the few quotes of him that i read, and when i saw the first video for the h&m x lanvin collaboration i laughed at his statements, but this video is even worse. i really do not know what to say here.

[Desi]

at first I took it that way then I stepped back and saw it like this "we designed this collection for H&M over several months and in a weeks time they produced surprisingly decent samples"

[popeyejawns]

i hate everything about this collabo.

[ILLuminate]

you mean you hate the idea of it? because I highly doubt you've seen any pieces.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

all i need is a white tee saying lanvin for $9 bucks for the girlfriend. cwg concept and all that.

didnt he say that they made samples for H&M? so what if they just used simple materials and easy enough to execute ideas, and were surprised that H&M managed to reproduce them so well on such a large scale?

first thing I've seen

Was just talking to a friend about this collabo. I'm looking forward to what Lanvin comes up with, I do hope it turns out well.
