COLLABORATION ANTICIPATION: H&M's Lanvin Lookbook And Video Are Out

Oh, you thought today was Election Day.

No, It's the day H&M releases the full lookbook featuring model Irina Lazareanu for it's hotly anticipated collaboration with Lanvin to be launched in a presumable frenzy on November 23rd.

The Cut has every look in a slideshow complete with prices, so you can make your selections in advance and zero in on exactly the pieces you want amid the rampant grabbing that can be reasonably be expected in three weeks. Prices appear to top out at around $200 including accessories and shoes. There's menswear too, including some shiny blue oxfords, and every item for both genders looks vaguely like an adaptation of a familiar Lanvin runway look —all good for fans of the label.

If you feel you must see the collection in motion, then you are in luck today, because along with the lookbook, H&M has finally released the full, dreamy 4 and a half minute video featuring a glimpse of designer Alber Elbaz and a host of models of varying ages and sizes.
Watch after the jump.

COLLABORATION ANTICIPATION: H&M's Lanvin Leak

Images from the couldn't-be-more-anxiously-awaited Lanvin ♥ H&M capsule collection aren't supposed to come out until November 2^nd but Vogue Paris online managed to scare one up today. What can we learn from this early picture from the David Sims lensed campaign?

It looks like the collection will feature familiar Lanvin signature runway looks in more affordable versions, and plenty of black. Apparently, the offerings will be pitched to customers of all ages as the models include the young Tati Cotliar and Natasha Poly, the thirtysomething Belgian favorite Hannelore Knuts and Jane Schmitt who is of un certain age. There will also be great big sunglasses, which should please everyone.

We feel confident that this might be H&M's biggest collaboration project yet, and if you aren't there when the doors open on November 23^rd, you might not bother to go at all.
