My only complaint so far is the relative lack of color. The clean, fluid silhouettes really work and have a sexiness that I've kind of missed from Lanvin recently. It's also nice to see him scale back the embellishment.
There's something almost Halston-y about the long dresses and skirts.
The lacey crap that's popping up needs to die though.
Rousteing and Vaccarello should take notes because this is how you do sexy. The paradox here is that the collection has a sort of ease which is very hard to achieve, especially those opening gowns that celebrate the body by showing just enough nipples and muscle definition.
I've felt like Lanvin has gotten a bit heavy over the past few seasons because of the excessive embellishments and tweed but things are looking much cleaner here. Contrary to previous comments I don't mind the lace, I think it works in favor of the sexiness and those orange and cobalt blue dresses take me back to S/S 2008 which is my favorite Lanvin outing ever.
I'm a huge geek for Alber's dark and chic womanly asthetic, so this is collection a win for me... but at the same time, I'm not really seeing anything to gush over. Beautiful though, lots of surefire red carpet looks.
The bags are the stars for sure. The lace pieces felt forced and trite. Clean lines and beautiful designs. I am getting tired of the shadowy dimlit display, though. I think Lanvin needs to literally come out of the dark.
