105 years ago, Jeanne Lanvin took on the most fortuitous role of all – that of motherhood.
What could stop Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz from participating in his Spring 2013 campaign video shoot?
Luxury online shopping company LUISAVIAROMA featured this season’s hottest trends in a dark way. The editorial entitled ‘After Dark’ highlights signature menswear labels such as Ann Demeulemeester and Balmain as well as emerging designers Kai Aakmann and Gareth Pugh. Designers are staying clear from bright colors this season and focusing their attention on Fall’s [...]
In yet another swift window dressing move, Lanvin presents its new Splash installation, shockingly showcasing its Fall 2012 collection . This stop-you-in-your-tracks visual display is “awash with bursts of colors, fountains of paint, and bodies in motion,” states the trailblazing maison. In contrast to its previous, decidedly softer Birds of Paradise display, this fresh setup [...]
Totally in LOVE with the latest Lanvin windows at their Rue du Faubourg St HonorĂ©, Parisian store. Inspired by Birds of Paradise, I think these very minimalistic windows perfectly showcase the looks. The in-house merchandising team did a great job keeping Lanvin’s aesthetic with an added touch of fun! See all their current and past [...]
Alber Elbaz’s perfectly exaggerated silhouettes for Lanvin’s S/S 2012 collection made even the most simple of dresses look stunning. The bold, angular shoulders made the models look even more confident as they walked down the runway. The sternness of those shoulders were juxtaposed next to
Steven Meisel directed this mini video campaign for Lanvin Fall/Winter 2011/2012 Collection, where you can see models Raquel Zimmermann, Karen Elson as well as Alber Elbaz himself dancing in a non-conventional luxury brand campaign! Always nice to see that fashion luxury brands can have a sense of humor! Watch the video below.

Well we all know by now that fashion and video is a great mix, and especially for the internet. After the buzz about the collaboration of Lanvin and H&M, here is the 5min video, that has been released today. The Fall/Winter 2010 Collection will be available on November 23rd, 2010. Watch video below.
Pretty excited for the news! Lanvin is the 8th designer to do the ‘Luxury/Mass market” collaboration with H&M. No images of the collection yet, and the launch will be viral only over at H&M.com September 9th. See Alber Elbaz video interview about the subject below
