PFW Diary: 4 Lanvin learnings from a visit to Alber’s showroom
I am just back from another showroom visit, this time at Lanvin. I am still reeling from the beauty and all-out luxe. Here’s what I learned in four points:
1. The shapely jewel-tone dresses that came down the runway three evenings ago—surprise surprise!—turned out to made from bra padding, giving them a soft but substantial sculptural quality.
2. The embossed leather jackets and mini-skirts were bonded onto grey knit, and a tunic that looked like glass was made from tiny mirrored beads.
3. Black and gold brocades were sometimes reversed and covered in clear plastic.
4. The jewels were strewn with abandon on neoprene jersey, like a little girl who got into her grandmother’s stash when no one was looking.
