>> "It's not about Marilyn Monroe moving to India and having an acid trip," deadpanned Alber Elbaz, who shot the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2011 lookbook in his diminutive Paris atelier, complete with tigers and white rabbits.

Patchwork patterns of raw denim and Harris and Shetland tweeds create what she calls a "modern urban camouflage"; there's a new top handle handbag — the Triptych — with three zipper compartments; and the much-wanted clog sandals are back, in new colors and with velcro closures.
