H&M just announced that it has partnered with Lanvin again to create a children's line for the All for Children initiative. This September, the collection will be available online and in 150 H&M stores worldwide. H&M calls the clothes "updates of well-loved classics, giving them a contemporary twist." We call them delightfully sophisticated, but only if you've got the cash to spare on your spoiled progeny and need the charitable component to assuage your bourgeoisie guilt.

In the never-ending parade of designer collaborations, H&M’s contribution is that of frenzied, sold-out-in-minutes collections from the cream of fashion world crop--Lanvin, Lagerfeld, and Comme des Garcons included. Following last month’s heart-breaking, Europe-only Collection of Style line, it’s doubly painful to read of the newest H&M collaboration, available only in Sweden.

A tad extravagant? Perhaps. But then again, what better time of year to splurge? Besides, a Lanvin satin leopard-print travel kit ($490) could come in very handy. This travel kit's cozy slippers and light-blocking sleep mask will have you relaxed and ready to go upon arrival. Plus, it pairs beautifully with your new Tumi luggage. At the very least, you can pretend to be a glamorous jet-setter, even if you are just going home for the holidays.

We’ve been seeing a lot of feathers lately and with the raves about the exquisite wardrobe of Black Swan, they will likely be around for quite a while. I’ve been a fan of feathers for some time now. I own feathery earrings as well as several feathery headbands. Though, I don’t do the boa thing—and you shouldn’t either. I predict we’ll be seeing plenty more feather pieces over the coming months. Great for us, bad for all those geese! Here are some of my favorite styles.

For F/W 2010, we're seeing the return of the kitten heel. With past seasons dominated by the mega platform, the kitten heel looks to be making a steady comeback. Though not as tiny as it was a few seasons ago, it's definitely a drastic change. Prada started the revival, and we're seeing more from Lanvin, Stella McCartney (pictured), and Valentino. Though not as lengthening and flattering as platforms, kitten heels are definitely more comfortable for our backs and feet.

Not even a week after consumers started picking H&M clean of its limited-edition collection by Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz, the industry is being hit with rumors of some pretty serious potential follow-ups. Tom Ford, whose namesake women’s wear collection (which debuts in Vogue’s December issue) will drop this spring, is, according to rumors, a potential candidate to follow in Elbaz’s footsteps. Fashionista is calling the speculated pairing of Ford and H&M “probably bogus,” which isn’t too hard to accept considering Ford’s SS11 presentation at NYFW this fall stood as a figurative middle finger to fashion’s increasing appetite for disposable styles and impatience with regard to the seasonal model. “To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US Magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!” Ford famously says in Vogue’s December issue. It's hard to imagine Ford now envisions extremely low-priced frocks from a store the produces trends as fast as they sprout as being reflective of his customer either.

H&M x Lanvin has been grabbing endless headlines since its NYC runway show late last week and subsequent in-store launch. The collaboration, for one, has brought new meaning to diffusion high-fashion. But another partnership is following in Alber Elbaz-meets-Swedish-fast-fashion's footsteps. Valentino x Gap is proving that FW10 is perhaps the most exciting season of designer collaborations fashion has seen so far. The Telegraph has procured a first look at the collection, which is chock-full of military-inspired garb and Valentino's signature ruffles. Prices are in the H&M x Lanvin range (which means coats and more complicated pieces will cost you between $100-$200). But given the uniqueness of the silhouettes and fabrics, the limited-edition line looks well worth it.

Following in the footsteps of such designers as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Comme des Garcons, Lanvin’s H&M collection went on sale Saturday across the country after months and months of public anticipation. New York Magazine reports that when Lanvin’s artistic director, Alber Elbaz, pulled up to the Fifth Avenue H&M, the line of shoppers had reached 300 in the hours before the store opened, with similar reports across the world. As one of the oldest fashion houses in France, Lanvin’s collection gained much attention, with dresses ranging from $149 to $249, and an extensive array of accessories such as shoes, sunglasses, and jewelry.

Last week wasn't all about wizards. Sure, the latest Harry Potter film was released in theaters and caused a slew of die-hard fans to camp out overnight, but for the first time they had to share the fanatical spotlight with some serious fashion devotees. On Saturday, November 20, at 8:00 a.m., the Lanvin x H&M collection pre-launched at select stores, and aspirational Lanvin fans, who weren't lucky enough to attend the acclaimed haute couture show and shopping event last Thursday, began to line up in front of stores the night before. Some went as far as to travel from out-of-state to ensure they had first dibs on the line before it officially hits all 200 stores worldwide next Tuesday. And while this isn't the first high-fashion meets high-street collaboration (H&M has also linked up with lines like Viktor & Rolf and Sonia Rykiel), this is definitely one of the most historic collaborations and buzz generators in recent times.
