new creative director at Lanvin, straight from Vogue Homme

Lanvin, one of the hottest French labels for women, is hoping to heat up its men's department, too. Paul Mather, fashion director at Paris' Vogue Hommes International, has started wearing a second hat as the new creative director of men's wear at the house. Mather, who has consulted for brands such as Costume National, Calvin Klein and Valentino, will continue in his role at the twice-yearly Condé Nast title. Mather said he would work under the guidance of Lanvin artistic director, Alber Elbaz, as well as a new men's wear designer whose name will soon be revealed.

Quite the scoop. The combination of his slick taste and Alber's quirky elegance should make for a heady mix. Now who could the designer be?

I rather liked what MARTIN KRUTZKI was designing for the men's mainline collection , a couple of years ago .

It was rather HERMES , with a more contemporary twist .

Still , times change and so do designers .
