A No to Lanvin

I'm not going to lineup for the H&M x Lanvin release on November 21st. Too stressful- in Hong Kong, designer collaborations are regarded as serious business, and I know that every H&M in town will be a complete and utter mess. Don't get me wrong, I heart Alber Elbaz...but I'm not sure how keen I am on luxe-mass collections. I think that a lot of the allure of buying luxury brands is in the fact that few others will be wearing it (clearly this theory doesn't stand with regards to leather goods and accessories; every other woman in the CBD carries an LV bag). Expensive, mid-range, cheap, it's always exciting when you're wearing something unique, and for the next 6 months after the release, the Lanvin dresses are going to be EVERYWHERE.

3 years from now? I'd probably wear this stuff. When everyone's forgotten it ever existed.

I guess that makes me an elitist.
