First look: Lanvin for H&M’s collection is shown in a short film

By Emily Borrett.

We said we’d keep you posted on the dream collaboration between fashion house Lanvin and high-street favourite H&M, and we’re going to honour that. Last month a leaked campaign image of the collection winged it’s way onto the internet which we were only too happy to share with our Shiny readers – it was a tantalising taster of what to expect when the clothes became available in stores. Cruelly the designers have been keeping pretty much schtum since, stubbornly refusing to reveal any more details, until now.

The wait to get our hands on their  collaborative efforts is so nearly over, and I guess the designers have decided to throw us a bone in reward for our patience, because they’ve made a short five-minute film which feature all of the new clothes. Yum. It’s fabulous from the get-go as the film shows dishevelled models slinking around empty hotel corridors and rooms in dramatic cocktail dresses with statement shoulders, little black draped numbers and one very voluminous zebra-printed coat. All the meanwhile, there’s silly elevator music playing. Alber Elbaz has kept this collection fun, and we couldn’t be more glad.
