In September we told you that fast fashion retailer H&M was teaming up with luxury brand Lanvin to create a luxurious collection available to the masses. Finally after weeks of anticipation the duo has released a promotional video along with photos of the 45 piece women’s line. The collection is scheduled for release at H&M stores worldwide on November 20, 2010.

The collection is sure to be a hit amongst Lanvin fans as it features signature cold-shouldered dresses, playful tees and lots of ruffles. Luxaholics can pick up classic pieces  serving them during the 2010 holidays right through till next summer. For added bonus, the female collection is designed by Lanvin’s creative director Alber Elbaz, while the men’s collection is headed off by menswear designer Lucas Ossenjriver.

Prices for clothing range from $100-$350 while shoes will cost around $100 and accessories will be $50 and under. The collection also comes complete with its own Lanvin for H&M lipstick which is sure to please beauty buffs.

Toronto’sfashionistas and fashionistos should prepare to be up very early if they expect to get their well-manicured hands on one of these garments. Past designer collaborations with H&M has seen fans waiting hours before store openings in the hopes of getting their very own designer pieces. For those of you that are up to the challenge good luck and happy shopping!
