lanvin for h&m

[Fade to Black]

One of the greatest achievements of commercial photography is to make shit look like candy.

ohhhh yeahhhh...y'all don't know how many times I've fallen for this one. Might as well walk out with sucker branded on my forehead.

I dunno; Kunk mentioned a few Lanvin shirts calling it a day after 3 or so wears. If you can buy an L&M shirt and wear it for a week straight...

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. I purchased a nice Lanvin dress shirt from Barney's and after two wears it became quite wrinkled. I don't have the best build for high fashion and assumed the shirt issue was because of that. On the other hand a dress shirt from h&m looked crisper after a few days of wear but did not last nearly as long as the Lanvin shirt.

I get CB2 catalogs at home. Every time I am tempted, I go into a CB2 store, I feel duped. It's such shit. But I also feel respect for the photographer who took those shots for the catalog. One of the greatest achievements of commercial photography is to make shit look like candy.

sure,but what can you do?ball out with rick furniture? .Dresses are not bad for a non-fashion conscious girl who can't afford the 4 digits.Especially when i look the dress on the left.The worst thing of this collab is the appeal to a broad audience ,not exactly the collection.

you think that Lanvin shirts are of poor quality because they wrinkle with wear?

[eat me]

I look at the pictures and they look cheap even on pictures. I can also imagine what they would feel like when touched.

Maybe the lipstick will be cool ;).

No I do not think the quality is poor because the Lanvin shirt lasted much longer. However, the h&m shirt looked better after some wear while the Lanvin looked noticeably more distressed even though it was worn on fewer occasions.

^ yeah, not interested. All styling, no substance, as expected.

[jogu]

hmm the stache reminds me too much of ss10 which was one of my least faves . was this designed by lucas or alber ? i dont see a damn thing that looks interestin

[xeraphim]

^ lucas designed the menswear.

I now expect to see kids running around with huge pre-tied bow ties and ill fitting suits in the run up to Christmas. I am rather disappointed by how 'high street', for want of a better description, it looks. Although I suppose it was to be expected. It looks like it could have come out of a Topman/ASOS/Zara look book.

looks like they remade one of my favorite pair of lanvin shoes. the metallic derbies. this is completely just H&M banking on old re-hash designs of Lanvin

not cool. so not cool.

edit:

the metallic derby looks completely identical to my pair from ss08. exact same shape, same inset heel, and even the same shade of blue. i have lost a great deal of love and respect for Lanvin :(

$80? hope it's synthetic or plastic or some shit. wtf

[xeraphim]

^ an almost identical remake, in fact:
