November sees the launch of the first offering of an ongoing collaboration between Acne and Lanvin. Juxtaposing the femininity of Lanvin’s couture legacy with the rough and masculine work wear aesthetic that has inspired Acne for a decade, this collection is set to appeal to girls and boys about town of all ages. Made entirely of denim, only the finest Italian and Japanese fabrics have been used in a collection that sets out to be classic yet sharp. To maintain their intense shade of indigo the fabrics have been given minimal treatment, resulting in dresses, pants, suits, coats, jewellery, shoes and bags in a multitude of blue hues.
The Acne/Lanvin collection will be available at Lanvin, Acne Studio and at www.acnestudios.com.
Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz glanced back to a Thirties glamour girl while injecting whimsy with fun embroideries and glitzy costume baubles. “It’s about the original idea of cruise, a fantasy vacation,” Elbaz said. One example: the playful cotton T-shirt and silk skirt combo shown here.
Chez Lanvin, it’s Hawaii meets the Hamptons. Well, sort of. Alber Elbaz described his cruise collection as a Frenchified take on American sportswear, with plenty of that South Fork easy allure. “But twisted Hamptons,” he noted while tucking into a bowl of sorbet to the helium strains of Dolly Parton at his Paris studio on Saturday. Shapes are light and languid, not to mention a bit Thirties with an emphasis on a new elongated silhouette for the house. Case in point: his polkadot silk gazar column gown worthy of a latter-day siren à la Jean Harlow. Add to that the designer’s cheekily embroidered T-shirt matched with a formal floor-length silk skirt and his “jogging suit for the woman who doesn’t jog” cut in sexy black silk and you get the rest of the season’s message: carefree glamour.
But, oh, the accessories: it’s “Aloha, Alber” with exotic and flamboyant — or, in his words, “screaming” — embellishments spicing up the collection. Especially notable are his versions of a luxury lei: glitzy garlands made from iridescent flowers strung on fake pearl necklaces. source wwd.com
Lanvin will collaborate with Acne Jeans to produce a Lanvin diffusion line of jeans for next year. Elbaz’s attention to intricate details and all things luxurious, he could possibly take denim to a whole new level with his line for Acne
The “Collection Blanche” is the first wedding gowns collection by Parisian house Lanvin. Sometimes inspired by previous creations or just new designs, this extremely “couture” and modern collection is another showcase of Albert Elbaz’ talent.
