While there's no word on what we can expect in New York City for the launch of the Lanvin x H&M collab this holiday season, there is this video above, released by H&M only several hours ago. After all, today is the date they promised to reveal more information on the ultimate high/low collaboration.

In the video, Lanvin's designer Alber Elbaz further discusses his reasoning for taking on the project, but then we get to the meat of the whole thing: some hints of what's to be expected. Alber says: "Just take a floral dress, take a tuxedo. Just enjoy this type of tulle and T-shirts and printed dresses." And this is followed by the briefest shot of plan black sunglasses sitting folded on a tabletop. It's vague, but it's something.

Two other videos released today as well, one even with model Natasha Poly shooting the lookbook; too bad all the clothes are heavily pixelated out so that we can't glimpse them yet. To watch all the videos, go here.
