Jonathan Saunders designs capsule collection for Escada Sport

After Lanvin for H&M, Valentino for Gap and Lagerfeld for Macy’s, we’ve just heard about a new designer collaboration. British designer Jonathan Saunders will come up with a capsule collection for Escada Sport. This will be part of the brand’s Resort 2012 collection.

Saunders has been designing under his own name for five years now and has done so quite successfully. His colorful creations with unusual prints have been sold worldwide at locations such as Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, Selfridges, Lane Crawford and net-a-porter.com.

His capsule collection for Escada Sport will focus on the ‘buy now, wear now’-principle, so the items are meant to be worn on the season’s top occassions. There will be twenty pieces from different product groups, including leather accessories.

Unfortunately we still have to wait a whole year; the collection will not be launched until November 2011.

Lanvin for H&M Fashion Show New York

Last night all the clothes from the Lanvin for H&M collection came alive during the grand haute couture fashion show in New York. Everyone who is someone in the world of fashion was gathered at the Pierre Hotel. Stars like Sofia Coppola, Andie MacDowell and Elettra Wiedemann attended were their the celebrate H&M’s latest collaboration with fashion house Lanvin.

Especially for the show all pieces from the Lanvin for H&M collection were reworked and were given an individual touch. So real haute couture was presented on the runway! The special pieces will later be sold in an auction and all proceeds will be donated to UNICEF.

The models (Pixie Geldof, Olga and Anna dello Russo to name a few) playfully walked the runway. Anna dello Russo even brought a dog on stage.

It was one big party which, for the guests, had a spectacular ending. They were all allowed to buy seven pieces of the Lanvin for H&M collection. Unfortunately we have to wait until November 23. We’re so jealous!
