Vanessa Paradis for H&M Conscious Collection

A blast from the past: Vanessa Paradis was tapped for H&M new Conscious collection.

This piece of news brings up beautiful memories of the 14 years old French singer from the Eurovision competition back in the 80s, and then some super rock ‘n roll shots of her back in the days when she was Johnny Depp’s number one girl. Hmm.

It’s still her, that’s for sure. you can’t mistake her for anyone else, she is her own trademark. Yet, she looks very different to me, and I don’t mean the gazillion of years that had passed since her Johnny Depp years. She is just… different. As for the campaign, I absolutely prefer the more distant shots. The closeups somehow managed to dismiss so much of her natural beauty.

What do you think about the campaign?

OK OK so it’s out in the US since yesterday. Can’t ignore it. And the leather jacket in this collection is bundles of joy, sure. Here’s the video:

Versace and H&M fall 2011

So it’s true, H&M will present its collaboration with Versace in the coming Fall. I just came back from the press presentation with pics I got from H&M’s PR, a video of the campaign and pics I took myself in the showroom:

And here are the pics I took this morning in the showroom, minutes before the press presentation started:

 

 

As for me, I say: ok. Nothing fancy. This isn’t Lanvin for H&M. It’s elegant, it’s trendy, you can see Prada and Balmain in it, you can see faux fur, faux leather, wool, cotton, suede, nothing new. It’s simple, it’s basic, it’s not too trendy, it’s wearable. It’s FINE. That’s all… Sorry, I’m not too excited. It’s very commercial, and not in a bad way.

The entire lookbook and collection’s pictures are up to my Flickr, you can view them here.

Lanvin for H&M: backstage of Anna Dello Russo shooting

Anna Dello Russo

Yeah, it’s very nice to see non-models models participating in such a huge campaign, especially if it’s Anna Dello Russo. She looks amazing, probably 24/7. Watch her backstage shooting wearing Lanvin for H&M:

Lanvin & H&M – press preview

So, after I watched this movie early in the am, like all of you did, I had to run to the press preview of the collection at the H&M PR offices. If you were wondering how the outfits look in real life, you can see it here. I took these pics this morning:

Now, that zebra brown and white trench coat is stunning, don’t you think?
