Some Lanvin for H&M Items Are Still Straggling Around in Various Forms
After hundreds of people lined up for hours in the freezing cold to blow several months' worth of rent on the Lanvin for H&M line in November, you'd think that every last shred of the collection would be snatched up by now. Not so: Remnants of the collection are still hanging neatly next to the third-floor dressing rooms of H&M's Rockefeller Center location, reports Sugar Rock Catwalk. (There's no men's stuff left, but there are several racks of clothes, including the one-shoulder cocktail dress and both the red and gray versions of the tulle-skirted dress.) But clothes aren't the only thing left over from all the Alber Elbaz mayhem that consumed way more of our web-surfing time and energy in October and November than we care to admit — there's fabric scraps, too, which H&M is repurposing into a whole new line called Waste.
Unsurprisingly, the Waste collection has not been designed by Alber Elbaz, but rather by H&M design chief Ann-Sofie Johansson, who has created a bunch of patchwork-type pieces out of bits swept up from the cutting room floor. If you look closely at one of the jackets, you can actually see remnants of that Lanvin for H&M zebra-print trench coat that you can find only on Ebay now.
