Lanvin sandals are a dose of modern must-have for your wardrobe. This pair of gold sandals demands the spotlight at every occasion – wear them from galas to gallery openings with a high hemline and fresh pedicure.

Lanvin’s F/W 2011 men’s collection was described as “Tailoring used in a sportswear way” by the label’s menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver. While Lanvin’s creative supremo Alber Elbaz added: “Where uptown and downtown meet”. What do you think? Is this outfit a NO or a GO for you?

“Where uptown meets downtown” is Lanvin‘s creative supremo Alber Elbaz inspiration of his F/W 2011 men’s collection.  “A return to elegance—the word is always being used to describe old people. When you talk about the young, it’s always ‘cool’ or ‘sexy’, but we wanted to introduce elegance to the young,” said Elbaz proudly after his Fashion Show. What do you think – is this outfit below a GO for elegant or rather a NO for – no way?

Alber Elbaz, Moroccan-born Israeli fashion designer, born in 1961. He is best known for his role as the creative director of the French fashion house Lanvin since October 2001.

Lanvin fashion designer Alber Elbaz created indeed a very pricey but also very modern and fancy looking men’s sneaker. The beaded pattern on the side makes them unique, don’t you think? For all of you who haven’t heard about it yet – Lanvin is collabrating with H&M next week with a one-time 30-piece collection. Maybe we’ll get then similar looking sneakers to an affordable price? Let’s have a look.

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.
