SNEAK PEEK: Lanvin Hearts H&M Collaboration Revealed!

In just a few short weeks, Lanvin’s much-anticipated designer collaboration with H&M will hit stores, and while very few details have been revealed, a video showcasing the entire collection for the first time has just been released! And fashionistas will not be disappointed. Statement-making jewel-toned frocks, chic jackets and feminine skirts—all boasting the luxurious cut, tailoring and details that have become synonymous with the Paris-based design house—are plentiful in the Lanvin hearts H&M collection, scheduled to hit U.S. stores on Nov. 20. “Designer’s work is usually tailored to a very small group of people, but the collection for H&M was about trying to translate the dream of luxury to the masses,” says Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin, in a statement. It’s no wonder the coveted French label counts stylish stars like Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba as loyal fans. And with price points for the new line for H&M, which includes accessories and menswear, ranging from $9.95-$349, the designer’s sought-after items will be accessible to all for a limited time. But trust us: The lines will be long, so be sure to scoop them up while you can! Tell us: Will you buy any pieces from Lanvin’s designer collaboration with H&M? –Hana Choi
