Colors and Chandeliers chez Lanvin

Once again, apologies for the lack of posts but I just got back from London where I had little time or internet access. In any case, I'm ready to post again, starting with a long overdue Lanvin feature. After last month's super sexy displays, the fashion house has returned to what Alber Elbaz does best: whimsical and playful settings with the usual dash of ultra feminine pieces. This time around the windows had an added splash of color, thanks to the large transparent swatches that were placed near the center of each display. Furthermore, a collaboration with the esteemed crystal company Saint-Louis added a beautiful touch, as most windows were illuminated by some very impressive chandeliers.

The two main windows: lots of color, painted faces and frizzy hair.

And one mannequin even lost his head...

Lanvin Femme

A glamorous get-together in the women's section.

Very chic in red. And I want that necklace.

No chandeliers but lightbulbs do the job (lower right image: Le Journal des Vitrines).

The minimalist window... but who needs a mannequin with that statement necklace? And yes, I want that as well.
