The Parisian house of Lanvin was created by Jeanne Lanvin and became one of the most influential design houses of the early Twentieth Century. The Lanvin look of intricate trimmings, embroideries and beaded decoration continues to this day, with Lanvin now under the lauded stewardship of Alber Elbaz, Artistic Director since 2001. Elbaz’s beautifully feminine take on the aesthetic has garnered him a huge female fan-club and the menswear line is now beginning to follow suit.
