This summer, Lanvin announced a focus on adjustment Women’s and men’s direction, and create modern wardrobes for both clients. In the process, the brand wants to tone down the lavish volume it has been ramping up in recent seasons and settle for a softer glamour. This was illustrated in the pre-series Art Director Bruno Sialelli “supervised” in July, but today’s main collection is more of a definitive and more personal suggestion of his plans for Lanvin’s new market. “In the past, we introduced my vision for daywear. Then, we introduced eveningwear. Now we want to express the idea that we can accompany our audience on occasions throughout the day,” he said in the preview.
There are two aspects Sialelli presents the collection in the collection presented at L’Atelier des Lumières, a former store on Rue Saint-Maur The foundry, whose walls are bathed in projections of poetic footage created by filmmaker Joshua Woods. In terms of narrative, we vacation somewhere between the Marrakech desert and the coast of Casablanca: yellow and blue coats and miniskirts in shiny eel skin, seaweed-shaped embroidery on jackets, and jellyfish-like Bouncy knitted robe. On the technical side, we are somewhere between rustic and deconstructed: rustic coats, shorts and miniskirts with frayed hem, lace tops crafted from silk tubes, crisp cotton dresses and stonewashed satin coats, Same comparison.
Sheer seersucker coats and suits and some more glorified robe style considerations, “soft” may exaggerate the evolution. But Sialelli did clarify his claims. Gone are the animated prints, wild Art Deco deco and ballroom stance of previous seasons. Instead, he turned to an earthy palette, full of electric blues and orange punches, and materials like those eel coats, or the feathers that adorn the trail ballerina, which are naturally graphic, not artificial. or animated. Among the more sophisticated proposals are some good options for luxe tailoring: clean enough to be timeless, sculpted enough to go beyond pre-collection.
