Aloha! Alber Elbaz’s spring collection for Lanvin is a delightful mix of the exotic and chic. His “accidental tourist” gathered up fashion gems from Tahiti, Romania, India — you name it — and mixed them with her everyday wardrobe. It added up to a fun and eccentric collection that was slightly folkloric and rounded out with capsules of tailoring, long dresses, denim, jersey and bridal. Full skirts evoked Frida Kahlo; an Afghani top went over a chic black skirt with flower appliqués, and Elbaz’s signature pearls sprouted colorful flowers for a lei à la Lanvin. The holiday spirit continued in a silver sequin T-shirt and track pants set that looked ready for any dance floor in the world, while a vibrant turquoise evening dress oozed the nonchalance of a beach towel.
