Lanvin - November 2010

Alber Elbaz became the latest Paris-based designer to turn his hand to the high street in 2010, when he brought Lanvin to H&M. While Lanvin's extravagant designs would be near impossible to make on a high street budget, the designer still managed to bring a sense of the brand's magic to the collection, with t-shirts and dresses featuring exquisite details like grosgrain ribbon and jewels.

Available on eBay before it even went on sale in stores, it was another runaway success for the Swedish retailer.
