capsule collections – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Wed, 03 Nov 2010 02:08:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Lanvin for H&M Photos Arrive: Part 1 – Dresses, Tees and Tops http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/lanvin-for-hm-photos-arrive-part-1-dresses-tees-and-tops http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/lanvin-for-hm-photos-arrive-part-1-dresses-tees-and-tops#respond Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:28:21 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16496 Needless to say, there are going to be some awfully long lines on November 20th when the Lanvin for H&M collection hits stores. Vogue UK, fresh off of their Fashion’s Night In promotion for etailers, was first to publish photos of the entire collection. We’re glad that the good people at Lanvin and H&M aren’t teasing us anymore with photos of just a few pieces, but seeing the whole thing does present a problem: how to choose just a few?

Honestly, there’s not one item we wouldn’t take, but it will probably be difficult to get them all. Not just for the fact that even H&M prices add up, but with the anticipation for this collection will undoubtedly drive a horde of other shoppers into stores to make it impossible for you to claim one of everything. And just how much will it cost to get your hands on your own Lanvin? Well, fishnet tights will be $9.95 but the dresses will go up to $249. Accessories will go for $19.95 and t-shirts will start at $39.95 {NY Daily News}. No word on the jackets, but if we’re taking the UK prices into consideration, expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $250 for those as well. While that’s not exactly cheap, the upside is that the dresses generally don’t look it either.

Enough of the gloom though, here are the dresses, jackets, skirts, tees and tops

Update: Dresses range from $149 to $249, with most priced at $199. Coats are $199 to $349.

More Details Emerge on the Target / Mulberry Collaboration http://198.46.88.49/style/bags/more-details-emerge-on-the-target-mulberry-collaboration http://198.46.88.49/style/bags/more-details-emerge-on-the-target-mulberry-collaboration#respond Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:38:47 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=13059 Many fashion and budget savvy women have been singing the praises of affordable retailer Target since the company began collaborating with high-end designers to produce limited-edition capsule collections. Target’s GO International have always been – well, international, but there’s a definite Brit kick lately. One of Target’s most recent collaborations was with Liberty of London, the famous high-end department store in London known for bright, floral-printed fabrics. The limited-edition collection was extremely well received, with the New York pop-up store receiving 11,000 shoppers who forced the retailers to pack up shop after everything sold out a day early. {Racked}

Can we hope for a velvet 'Alexa'?

But, it seems that was only the beginning of the UK pairings. Signature9 UK knew that a collaboration with Mulberry was on the horizon for this coming holiday season, and now more details are beginning to emerge.

Mulberry, the British design house known mostly for its handbags and leather goods, is already a staple handbag in Britain. This isn’t the first collaboration the brand has done Stateside: there was a previous pairing with Gap’s RED campaign which featured classic shapes in jersey, rather than leather. Available from October 10th through Christmas Eve (let’s see if they last long enough to save last minute shoppers), these bags are expected to follow a similar path. Instead of bringing down the price by relying entirely on pleather, which can be hit or miss in terms of appearance, many of the styles will b offered in velvet or denim. {Fashionista}

Target will work primarily with Mulberry designer Emma Hill. Hill designed the Alexa Bag, one Mulberry’s best-selling bags, in honor of Alexa Chung, the British “It” girl who carried Mulberry bags for years. {suit101.com}
