Christina Perez — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:59:39 PST

>> Steven Meisel captures a bit of nefarious dinner party fun in this recently-released Lanvin Spring 2012 campaign video. Set to the tune of Maxine Ashley's "Cookieman," models Aaron Vernon, Angus Low, Aymeline Valade, Johannes Schulze, Marte Mei van Haaster, and Othilia Simon pose moodily, play with snakes, and don jeweled masks - looking glamorously chic all the while. Watch it below now.

Lanvin Pre-Fall 2012

Christina Perez — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:10:07 PST

>> For Alber Elbaz, it's all about what's fresh - even as this year marks the designer's 10th at the helm of Lanvin. To celebrate, Elbaz has worked "new fabrics, new technologies, and new volumes" into Pre-Fall, combining statement-making shapes with some very innovative materials. Full-skirted frocks are done up in lace-bonded wool, oversized trenches come in patent leather gabardine, and flouncy cocktail dresses are constructed from airy tech fabrics. Large-scale cameo necklaces, square-buckle belts, and super-svelte leather gloves punctuate the looks.

Try This Leather Glove Styling Look - As Spotted at Lanvin

Christina Perez — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 07:45:17 PST

>> Full-length gloves are one of the best things about Winter - sublimely elegant yet totally practical. At Lanvin's Fall 2011 show, Alber Elbaz upped the already-chic factor by topping the collection's super-soft leather styles with jeweled corsage cuffs. While the models at Lanvin irreverently wore just one glove, we think the look would be just as glamorous with two - and with any style of statement-making bracelet. Below, some of our favorite leather glove and floral-cuff combos, for your shopping pleasure.

Christina Perez — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 18:58:06 PDT

>> Lanvin, Dior, Balmain, Carven, Rick Owens - the past few days of Paris Fashion Week have been busy ones, so it's no wonder that the backstage mood has been just as high-energy as ever. The ladies of Lanvin played up the mystique with giant fans and new-wave shades; the girls at Dior looked demure in ladylike lipstick and super-sweet poses; and there was plenty of playful frolicking - not to mention an eye-catching array of candy-hued shoes - at Carven. Balmain offered up a dose of rock n' roll glamour with gilded shorts and heavy hardware, while the ethereal vibe at Rick Owens made for lots of ghoulish creeping. All the behind-the-scenes action and more, here in the slideshow.
