When it comes to mixing patterns, it sure seems like Fab reader impetuous style is a pro. She went all out with her fun look, pairing a signature striped Missoni skirt with a slouchy, cropped polka-dot sweater, then adding nude slingback heels and a chic pearl necklace from Lanvin for H&M. It's a perfect example of how fresh different patterns can look together — great look!
Congrats to impetuous style!
Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!
This year, we saw celebs, major designers, and favorite labels hitting department stores and chains in the form of fashionable collaborations. Among the standouts of 2010, Madonna brought her Material Girl to Macy's, Mulberry's classic handbags headed to Target, and Alexa Chung created a signature style line for Madewell. But that was hardly the end of it; closing out the year, Valentino brought its femme confections to Gap, and Lanvin for H&M took the fashion world by storm. Each crush-worthy collab delivered new looks to love, but it's time to cast your vote for the one that made you go gaga — what's the best fashion collaboration of the year?
We showed you the fun moments from Lanvin for H&M's haute couture fashion show, now it's time to witness the pieces in action. But this isn't your average film — its interactive nature means you can click on the screen to shop the look you like! May I suggest the FabSugar-sponsored floral dress? It's stunning and going for $645 right now!
>> Editors — including Katie Grand — were regularly spotted exiting the Lanvin for H&M preshopping event on Thursday with three or four bags, and Meredith Melling Burke wore the collection's red tulle dress to Vogue writer Stephanie LaCava's black tie wedding over the weekend, so it's no surprise that when made available to the masses on Saturday, consumers reacted similarly, often spending, as The Cut points out, as much as they might on a piece from the Lanvin runway collection.
WWD tracked shoppers in New York and LA shelling out $1,700 or $1,800 in one fell swoop — the former shopper noting it was "the most I've ever spent in my life" — and one man who spent $3,000 buying up basically everything in the women's collection for his wife, who "is pregnant and can't be here, so I am doing a run."
Alber Elbaz, originally said he planned to head home from New York on Saturday — "You could have a baby in the time it took us to work on this. I'm going to be in bed, watching TV, and ordering Chinese food." But it seems he had a change of heart. He arrived a bit before 8 a.m. in a black Town Car across from the Manhattan H&M flagship to marvel at the line. "We stayed in New York one more night so we could see this," Elbaz told WWD. "I don’t dare go in. I can't believe it. I was sure there would be no one. I was a bit panicked. This is a once in a lifetime experience." But he must have gotten the courage to exit the vehicle, because he was snapped outside taking it all in.
The highly anticipated Lanvin for H&M collection hits stores today! But before you go, check out our visit to the H&M showroom where spokesperson Pansy Tolou showed us several head-to-toe Lanvin for H&M looks. When the clock hits 8 a.m., you know exactly where to find us!
The Pierre hotel in NYC was the place to be seen last night. Lanvin for H&M hosted a magical haute couture show — Fab supported one of the 25 looks for charity — and as you can imagine, the night had no shortage of fun! Of course, Alber Elbaz was on hand to celebrate, as were Emma Roberts and a gaggle of gorgeous models like Dree Hemingway. Anna Dello Russo even made an appearance on the catwalk! The entire production was filled with energy, gorgeous chandeliers, peonies galore, and girls dressed as French maids just standing around. The front row was filled with Alexander Wang, Tory Burch, Sophia Coppola, and the likes. Step inside for all the fun moments you don't want to miss!
