Lanvin for H&M Womenswear Revealed

The Lanvin for H&M womenswear collaboration has finally been revealed, and it is just as impressive as the menswear line. The pieces definitely mirror some of Lanvin's previous main line collections - think f/w 2010 jackets and coats - so you know it's good! Below is a selection of the best pieces, see here to view the full line. The collection is available online at hm.com from 23 November.

Lanvin for H&M Menswear Hits Earth

The long-awaited Lanvin/H&M collaboration has finally arrived. The menswear range exceeds my highest expectations, and with all 40 pieces priced from £14.99 (AUD $24) to £149.99 (AUD $240), I'm even more impressed. The oversized bowties are quite obviously modelled off Lanvin head designer Alber Elbaz's own style, but the metallic shoes are definitely the stand out. I'm a slave for a good trench coat, and Lanvin's latest is certainly no exception. The collection is available from 23 November at hm.com - FIY, that's the same day I officially begin hating Australia for not having H&M!

China International Fashion Week

Umbrella cocktail dress by Liu Lili.

China pulled out all the stops for the International Fashion Week held in Beijing last week. I don't know what to think of the umbrella dress above by a designer called Liu Lili - but it sure has a bit of edge to it - I can definitely see it worn in the streets of Harajuku. There was also a leather design competition held during fashion week, and China churned out some pretty amazing pieces there too. More pics below.
