The new Portland H&M store has been open for almost a week, but Alison Nicole and I put off going right away, at first to avoid the inevitable teenage hysteria. I understand the excitement, just don't respond well to Black Friday-esque trample-shopping crowds. Hopefully the surge has settled into a stream--we are heading to the new downtown store this afternoon. We're a day early to catch the new Lanvin hearts H&M line (is the collection even coming to Portland?), but look! Albert Elbaz never fails to thrill me, season after season, and didn't fail to again with his high-street-to-low-street-to-high-street (or whatever he said he was going for) pairing with H&M. Even if we get deprived of his line (out West we have to get crafty to get what we want some times), there are so many fan saucy dressed to get excited about. There was plenty of color on the runway, but I love best these creamy black confections punctuated with bursts of leopard and bright color, save of course for Anna Dello Russo's florescent sorbet trot down the runway.
