Lanvin Boutique - Window Update (Paris, France)

Back in Paris, but there are still one or two Rome posts to follow. I did however want to post this first. As mentioned in my first Lanvin post, the wonderful thing about the Parisian boutique isn't just the store itself, but the ever changing window display. Even those who could care less about the luxury brand have to admit that the scenarios depicted in the storefront are both delightful and entertaining. I have yet to witness a passerby walk past the women's or men's boutique, without stopping and admiring what the visual merchandisers have put together as part of Alber's vision.

First up are long overdue images of the Fashion Week windows I forgot to post. I was too late to snap the men's boutique window, so I've taken this shot from the Lanvin website:

I happened to be passing the Lanvin boutiques again a week later as the windows were being redone in broad daylight for the world to see. This must be the best visual merchandising job ever (imagine playing around with wigs and props, including plastic babies). The current windows seem to have some sort of royalty theme: most mannequins have sashes on with titles reading "Duchess Lanvin" or "Lord Lanvin". I really like the mannequin dogs as well, though they don't seem to have royalty titles...

First up, Lanvin Homme, starting with the main window:

Lanvin Femme, again main window first:
