This may be Olivieir Lapidus debut collection for the house of Lanvin at the Grand Palais in Paris, but in essence it is Jeanne Lanvin projecting into the 21st Century by exploiting the power of shape and free-flowing form.
For his first Lanvin collection Olivier Lapidus wanted to be inspired by all the figurative elements dear to the famous designer. Going even further.
Even his name and initials, worked in Art Deco-inspired typography, became "LANVIN" and "JL" prints that dot the collection. This summer of 2018 will be, in Lanvin, that of lightness.
While colours of emerald green, cyclamen, ruby, nude, pale blue, black, white and gold were the fetish colors of Jeanne Lanvin. And the alphabet of its style - kimono sleeves, pagoda sleeves, flared or twisted, flat knots, geometric cutouts, clovers, combinations, transparencies - is revisited here and there to create an ultra-contemporary and desirable...
Subtly unbalanced dresses, bare shoulders, complexity games in cuts for silhouettes that seem to float in the air; trousers long, short and very flared. For materials: georgette and silk crepe, quilted cotton, super 120's wool, striped lamé and geometric lamé on base georgette for the touch of gold ...
The accessories, new challenge of Olivier Lapidus, are beautifully present. Sunglasses, whose franes discreetly display the name Lanvin, a brand new line of bags, including a city bag that becomes a backpack, electric blue crocodile, shoes, notably boots with an open toe ... But also of many jewels: necklaces, chokers, earrings, bracelets, in light gold or ruthenium, take motifs dear to Jeanne Lanvin.#
