When you think of Lanvin, what comes to mind? Is it the sophisticated tailoring? The refined leather accessories? Or maybe, if you’re like me, you think of one word: chic. The Parisian couture house, founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889, has always been synonymous with chicness, and for its autumn 2024 collection, the brand is taking inspiration from its exuberant past. Analysing Lanvin’s relationship with Nancy Cunard, an English writer, heiress, and patron of the arts, the collection delves into style with substance. While their relationship wasn’t heavily documented, there is no denying their convergence within fashion and the arts.
Cunard’s wardrobe closely parallels contemporary fashion, valuing masculine tailoring with bohemian touches, which Lanvin pulls from with its latest collection. Creating a men’s and womenswear collection orbiting around crisp suiting and elevated casualwear, the brand solidifies its steadfast commitment to classic and well-made luxury. Eveningwear shines bright, consisting of embellished gowns and grain de poudre tuxedos – an iconic Lanvin look. Topped off with kitten heels with ballerina bows, chunky costume jewellery, and slouchy handbags, each look exudes sophistication – something Lanvin does best.
