fashion collaborations – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Fri, 19 Nov 2010 04:18:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Lanvin for H&M Couture: Signature9’s Exclusive Look! http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/lanvin-for-hm-couture-signature9s-exclusive-look http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/lanvin-for-hm-couture-signature9s-exclusive-look#respond Fri, 19 Nov 2010 04:07:23 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16815 Earlier this evening, Lanvin and H&M hosted a fashion show of couture counterparts to the forthcoming mass-market collection. While we missed the live show (despite our best efforts), we’re truly excited to support the auction of the couture dresses. 25 outfits were chosen from the Lanvin for H&M collection to be produced as full fledged Lanvin looks exclusively for an auction benefiting UNICEF via H&M’s All For Children project.

We’re supporting the lovely little black dress covered in bows (the one that quells a chic catfight in the promotional video for the H&M collection), though you can view and bid on all 24 looks (19 outifts, 5 sketches by Alber Elbaz) at the dedicated Lanvin for H&M website. Bidding closes at 11:59pm CET (5:59pm EST), so be quick! Supporting children in need, and promoting fashion diplomacy? That’s a look we’re all for.

Lanvin for H&M Photos: Part 4- the Jewelry, Bags and Accessories http://198.46.88.49/style/bags/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-4-the-jewelry-bags-and-accessories http://198.46.88.49/style/bags/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-4-the-jewelry-bags-and-accessories#comments Tue, 02 Nov 2010 18:24:07 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16550 If the dresses, shoes and menswear of the Lanvin for H&M collection don’t do anything for you – well, you probably stopped reading any blogs covering fashion a few hours ago. If you’re still tuned in though, for our final gallery we’re spotlighting the jewelry, bags and accessories that round out the collection.

While this is really a collaboration that’s all about the clothes, the shoes are nothing short of perfect and the trinkets are still in line with the quirky glamor of the brand. Nothing feels out of place, but unlike the shoes, the leather gloves are probably the only “I’d fight for this” accessory out of the bunch. Photos don’t ever tell 100% of the story as far as materials and clothing go. While the ruffles and bows seem to have translated amazingly for the mass market collaboration, and the shoes could blend in with their high end counterparts, the one weak area seems to be the jewelry. The vast majority of Lanvin’s jewelry is costume, so it’s a little disappointing to see things that could easily be part of the normal lineup at Claire’s.

Considering the strength of the dresses though, that definitely wouldn’t convince anyone to sit this collaboration out though.

Update: Necklaces range from $29.95 (the chain and rhinestone necklace) to $49.95 (the pearl and sequin flower necklace), sunglasses will be $19.95  and the gloves will be $49.95

Lanvin for H&M Photos: Part 3 – the Shoes http://198.46.88.49/style/shoes/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-3-the-shoes http://198.46.88.49/style/shoes/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-3-the-shoes#respond Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:50:39 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16544 Spoiled for choice with all of the Lanvin for H&M dresses and menswear? While there are only 4 pairs of shoes in the collection, we want every single pair.

The frayed edges on the ribbons, the rhinestone studded heels topping patent leather or pretty prints are all so distinctly Lanvin that the H&M fans are bound to be fighting it out with the fashion fans who pay full price for the label.

Update: The shoes will retail for $99

Lanvin for H&M Photos: Part 2 – the Menswear http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-clothing/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-2-the-menswear http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-clothing/lanvin-for-hm-photos-part-2-the-menswear#respond Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:38:45 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16525 We’re pretty sure the ladies will love the Lanvin for H&M collections et to arrive on November 20th enough to camp out and fight crowds for first dibs at some of the gorgeous Lanvin for H&M ruffled dresses, embellished tees and glamazon coats.

While the shopping on the menswear side may not be as frenzied, we can bet there will still be a healthy amount of competition for guys looking to step up their style with tuxedo shirts and jackets, as well as girlfriends and sisters going for holiday gifts.

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.

CES Goes Fashion Forward http://198.46.88.49/electrotech/ces-goes-fashion-forward http://198.46.88.49/electrotech/ces-goes-fashion-forward#respond Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:17:35 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=8625 Lady Gaga, Jason Wu, Vivienne Tam. No, we’re not talking about Fashion Week, but the latest collaborations to come out of CES.

Lady Gaga for Polaroid (L) and the Gaga designed Monster Heartbeats earbuds

Known for their HDMI cables, tech manufacturer Monster has paired with Lady Gaga and Vivienne Tam for fashionable headphones. The Gaga designed Heartbeats earbuds are part of a special collection for (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition Beats Solo Headphones released under the Beats by Dr. Dre label.

Vivienne Tam, a geek chic veteran with a successful HP collaboration under her belt, will also release limited edition headphones with pricing and details announced during this February’s Fashion Week.

Also being released at fashion week is a point and click camera manufactured by General Imaging in partnership with First Lady design favorite Jason Wu.

Not to be outdone, the extravagant Lady Gaga’s other CES gig was announcing the relaunch of Polaroid, fashion’s favorite camera. Appointed creative director (which we see going much more smoothly than the Ungaro/Lohan pairing) for specialty products, Gaga will presumably have a hand in resurrecting the instant cameras that were discontinued last year.

The pop star has reportedly overspent by $3.2 million on her Monster Ball Tour, despite every show being sold out. As her father puts it, she now has a “real job” to put a dent in the debt.
