The Look of Lanvin

BY ABBEY SAMET STYLE EDITOR
Started in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, this French maison de couture has become extremely popular among fashionistas and Hollywood starlets alike. Since becoming creative director of the line in 2002, Alber Elbaz has brought Lanvin to new heights. Elbaz is known for expert tailoring, incredible design innovations and creative use of jewelry and satin detail to give each look a uniquely elegant appeal. Lanvin has been spotted on such stars as Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore and Angelica Houston.

Elbaz has crafted a stunning ready-to-wear summer collection that includes obi inspired accents and clean straight lines. Pencil skirts, pleats and sexy silk blouses will complete the wardrobe of the fashionable lady-about-town.
