It's crazy how a big name in the fashion industry can create such a fuss by designing clothes at a lower price.. I personally can't wait the 23th of november and I guess I'll be one of those crazy women waiting outside the H&M store hours before it opens. The only thing I don't like however, are the shoes. They're so not my style!

Unfortunately, only some selected shops will have the Lanvin collection. These are the (very few) lucky shops in Italy.
Bologna - Via dell’Indipendenza, 4
Palermo - via Ruggero Settimo, 14/16
Roma - centro commerciale Porta di Roma
Via del corso 511/512
Firenze - Via Por Santa Maria
Milano - Corso Vittorio Emanuele
Piazza duomo 31/ Corso Vittorio Emanuele 1
Padova - Piazzetta della Garzeria 2
Bari - Bari Sparano
And there are also some rules to follow when shopping Lanvin for H&M:
First rule: Follow the instructions that the staff H&M will provide you. If you arrive earlier than the opening of the store , get in line and wait for the opening when you will be given the necessary information.
Second rule: Try to get among the top 320 fashionistas. Only to the first 320 the staff will give a colorful bracelet, there are 16, a color for each group of 20 people who will enter separately.
Third rule: Once you get inside, you will only have 15 minutes in the area dedicated to the collection. It 's very important to have clear ideas and be decided what to buy, without having to regret later.
Fourth rule: If you are not among the 'lucky' 320, you also have the opportunity to enter, but only once disposed the 16 groups of 320 people, losing in all likelihood part of the collection.
I have to admit that these rules are a bit crazy, but then again it's Lanvin so everything has to be exclusive.
Plus! The most fabulous Italian fashionista, Anna Dello Russo, editor of Vogue (our Italian Anna Wintour) loves the collection too! Here are some photos she published on her blog. They proposed her to shoot the first exclusive samples of Lanvin for H&M especially for her blog.
