Children's Play

In the Lanvin Resort 2012 Collection, Alber Elbaz rolled out his first children's line featuring dresses that were just shy of four figures and an amazing trench coat that would cost more than a months wage. One could wish!

Lanvin Fall 2011

Lanvin’s fall 2011 collection had creative director Alber Elbaz taking the label to new heights with his feminine silhouettes which ranged from sculptural to slouchy in shape. Accessories included wide brim hats which covered the models’ faces, bedazzled belts and chunky necklaces made of metal hardware. With the wide brim hats and dramatic capes–the Lanvin woman seemed elegant yet mysterious for the autumn season.

Lanvin Pre-Fall 2011

"It's not about Marilyn Monroe moving to India and having an acid trip," the ever quotable Alber Elbaz said about the pre-fall show he staged at the Bowery Hotel. "It's about real women's needs and desires." And since he's been noticing an increasing tendency among women to wear evening for day—"why save the best dishes for the guests?" he asked backstage—he took that as his direction. (style)

My favorite is the silk creme skirt with the grey sweater. Perfect pairing of feminine and masculine. Devine!

Lanvin for HM

Here are a couple of sneak peek looks from Lanvin for H&M coming out on November 23rd. Unfortunately, the closest store that will be carring the French designers clothes will be in Chicago. Looks like most of his collection for the mass retailer will be evening attire, which Alber does so well. Most of the party frocks and jackets will range from $110 to $150 with accessories starting at $40. Expensive for H&M? Yes. Expensive for Lanvin? Hell to the no! Hopefully the quality and construction of the pieces will be worth the $cash$.

Lanvin Spring 2011

Alber Elbaz did it again! His collection for Lanvin Spring 2011 was amazing. Janet Jackson said it best backstage, " (When wearing Lanvin) You feel like you're the baddest bitch on the block." Sleek silhouettes and asymmetry come together with lightweight materials and armor-like structures for a mix of the feminine and masculine. My favorite? The parachute dresses at the beginning of the runway show. It doesn't get better than that for femininity. (style)

Lanvin for H&M

It's official! Alber Elbaz, head designer of the French house Lanvin, will be collaborating with H & M, consisting of women's and men's wear that will launch on November 20th. The womenswear collection will reportedly encompass 30 garments and 15 accessories, while the menswear will include 25 garments and about 10 accessories.

Elbaz says of the collection: “I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. I thought it was a smart concept so I say 'I do.' This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”
