Having fallen on hard times in recent years and changing creative directors almost every season, Lanvin promises to appoint a new artistic director in the coming days. Meanwhile, the brand’s design team is showing off, perhaps not its loudest collection, but definitely not its worst.
Resort 2025 looks very slim (and sometimes strict): pantsuits with a jacket with a belt with an internal drawstring (they prefer to fasten it tightly, folding the collar in an origami fashion); shirts that are worn in pairs, but so that the cuffs of the first one are visible; the skirts are embroidered with crystals, gathering them in cocoons, and the blunt-toed, open-heeled shoes receive an animal color; The minimalist dresses in soft milky color here seem to consist of two parts (the skirt is deliberately sewn on top so that the seam is as visible as possible).
Evening and cocktail dresses, Lanvin’s strong point, occupy a special place. The empire style ones are assembled using a ribbed clip (it resembles the Lanvin fragrance bottle, Arpège, designed by Jeanne Lanvin herself, lace has been chosen for the floor-length model); The cream-colored dress is reminiscent of what Greek and/or Roman goddesses would happily wear, and the grass-green one has a draped hood.
