Lanvin's hugely anticipated capsule collection for H&M hits select stores on Nov 20th. My always-up-for-a-party (and 6 months preggers, bless her soul) sister and I were lucky to get a sneak peak at the gorgessity Wednesday night at the AGO. It was super fun, the clothes were party perfect and the crowd was very Zoolander.
Alber Elbaz has made a fun, young collection for hipsters everywhere with plenty of ruffles, look-at-me brights and girly bows for the party set.
Les mannequins in le spotlight.
The accessories were our favourite part, of course. That purse, that necklace and oh, the shoes..how do you pick just one?
Far-from-basic party dresses filled the racks. Jo and I both adored the yellow and gold ruffled beauties.
Jo sipped water, the sartorialisty french man drank wine and we made the guy in the red hat hold a red necklace.
Every Lanvin for H&M dress will come with one of these amazing garment bags. So chic!
You can check out the full collection at http://www.hm.com/ca/#/Lanvin/
A huge merci to the girls at H&M for the fun!

Love la robe rouge and the fabulous shoes!

LOVE that red necklace. I heard they're opening the doors at 8AM and each person gets 15 minutes! IF you're lucky enough to get in!
You heard it right - doors open at 8 am (instead of the regular 10 am start) and nobody has gotten special access so everyone (fashion editors included) will be fighting for a piece of Lanvin. Get those elbows ready!
I have to say, outside of the necklace and the logos, this stuff looks goofy.
does anyone know how to block mr. fauxpas? is it fair to do that to my own husband?
