“The collection itself glances backwards, journeying into memories of the 1990s – a formative period of modern fashion – and to the archives of Lanvin,” notes the house in a statement. The creative team points out references of travel in the past and the jet-set lifestyle, the glamor of this era and the extravagance that came with it. Sialelli also reinvented the 1970s Lanvin JL monogram, which he dug out in house archives and updated it for today as the JL 3-D monogram, one with a modernist feeling and architectural detail. It’s a monogram of optical play that adorns accessories and luggage for long weekends with the neo-classic 22’ handbag, named after Lanvin’s historical Parisian flagship location at 22 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the collection, the same type that travelers of the past, yet the future are drawn to.
“There is a sense of the former formality and anticipation of travel – polished looks evocative of the 1960s, tailoring, and the precious embroideries and embellishment characteristic of Lanvin – but they mix with the mood of MTV, the feel of surfer guys and girls, off duty and in action,” states the house. “The collection travels geographically, through periods, but also through sensibilities, from formal to casual, a map of moods.”
About
Jeanne Lanvin founded her label in 1889, starting out as a milliner and later dressing Paris’s upper class.
The company built a name with ultrafeminine clothing, marked by elaborate trimmings like embroidery and beading, as well as its popular fragrances. After a period of decline at the end of the twentieth century, Lanvin found new financial and critical success with the 2001 arrival of designer Alber Elbaz, who is frequently lauded for his technical skill and innate sense of what women want to wear.
Today, it’s the oldest French fashion house in operation. And while it encompasses menswear, it is best loved among editors and celebs for exquisitely made womenswear. Duchesse satin, cocktail-length frocks (often with one shoulder), dressed-up cigarette pants, and volume experimentation are signatures.
