Lanvin for H&M

Lanvin are to be the next H&M collaborators and we couldn’t be more excited!

The Swedish high street brand – which has previously collaborated with Stella McCartney, Madonna and Karl Lagerfeld on cheaper rangers – has created a range of luxury clothes in conjunction with Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, who has previously said he would never work with a mass market store.

Lanvin RTW SS10

He said: “H&M approached us to collaborate, and to see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less.

“I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public.

“This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”

H&M’s creative advisor Margareta van den Bosch added the brand was “thrilled” about the collection.

She said: “We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men.”

The range will hit stories on November 23rd and we’re expecting a block-long queue for at least a week!

Watch what Alber Elbaz has to say about the collaboration below:

Going The Distance

We’ve seen Drew Barrymore’s new flick, Going The Distance, and LOVED it so much we thought we’d share an clip with you lovely lot.

Here’s the film’s synposis:

Erin’s (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett’s friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don’t like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin’s high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road.

Definitely check this film out, it got refreshingly blunt humour from its female characters, the storyline’s not half bad and Drew looks gorgeous!

The clip below show Erin’s sister doshing out some frank sibling advice about long term relationships and…. dry humping…

Brad Pitt and Megan Fox

Brad Pitt and Megan Fox have topped a list of stars people would allow their partners to sleep with.

The Hollywood stars were voted into the top spot after UK couples were asked which celebrities their partners would let them sleep with without classing it as cheating, known as a ‘list’.

Joining Brad on the ‘allowed’ list for women were ‘Alice in Wonderland’ actor Johnny Depp, ‘300’ star Gerard Butler, soccer ace David Beckham and ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk Robert Pattinson.

Male respondents opted for Brad’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and his current partner Angelina Jolie, who were named second and fifth respectively, with Beyonce Knowles and Jessica Alba taking third and fourth place respectively.

Mark Pearson, Managing Director of Groupola.com, which conducted the survey of 1,198 couples, said: “I think that having a ‘list’ in a relationship is fine, as long as they are taken in jest and feelings aren’t hurt.

“Although, I do wonder if any of the respondents would ever actually follow through with their ‘list’. I can’t help but think that even if people were confronted with the situation whilst in a serious relationship, they would probably shy away from it!” 

Top 10 celebrities people’s partners would allow them to sleep with without classing it as cheating:

Female stars:

1. Megan Fox
2. Jennifer Aniston
3. Beyonce Knowles
4. Jessica Alba
5. Angelina Jolie
6. Cheryl Cole
7. Katy Perry
8. Nicole Scherzinger
9. Christina Aguilera
10. Rihanna 

Male celebrities:

1. Brad Pitt
2. Johnny Depp
3. Gerard Butler
4. David Beckham
5. Robert Pattinson
6. Ashton Kutcher
7. George Clooney
8. Justin Timberlake
9. Will Smith
10. Hugh Jackman
