We bring you news of the latest designer-high street partnership - and we, for one, cannot wait...

Just days after Lanvin and H&M'S collaboration announcement, comes the news of fashion's latest priceless pairing - Gap and Valentino.

Yes. You heard correctly.

November will see the opening of Gap's Milan flagship, alongside a hot new capsule collection, courtesy of a collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Pacolo Piccioli, Valentino's creative directors.

Loved by the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway - to name but a few - we can't wait to see how the incredible Valentino designs translate to the mass market.
