Swedish fast fashion house H&M has been working with guest high-end fashion designers since 2004. The fast fashion retailer has 1,100 stores in 21 countries and is widely known for bringing runway-fresh looks to retail at very affordable price points. The intention of making clothes available to the thousands of people who can’t afford to shop at their favorite high-fashion designer is the idea behind the collaborations.

German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld was the first one who had made an one-time collection with 30 pieces for H&M in November 2004. At that time he explained in an interview with the retailer that ‘design is very important, and certainly not a question of price anymore.’

Since then other exclusive collections of famous high-end fashion designers had come out one after another: Stella McCarney in 2005, Roberto Cavalli in 2007, Jimmy Choo in 2009, only to mention a few.
The good news is that the fast fashion retailer now will meet French fashion house Lanvin with a 30-piece-collection which will go on sale on November 23rd ,2010. And for those of you who want to hear why Lanvin’s creative fashion director Alber Elbaz did it with H&M, we’d suggest to take a sneak peek at the video below.
