Lanvin's Masked Ball (Paris, France)


Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Good weather and a slight lack of motivation sit in front of the computer has kept me away from the blogging world, but I hope to change that asap. It's also why I've been very behind in posting displays from one of my favorite boutiques. These store windows were up in May and even though I prefer the more whimsical mannequins (the lifelike ones tend to creep me out), this presentation was definitely more toned down than this previous example. As usual, past Lanvin displays can be found here.

  3. Hello!! These may be my favourite Lanvin window displays that you have posted yet. I think the headless man holding a mask is just genius. (and the lady) The arm grabbing the shoe is also great...and I love the women's shoes here!!! I hope you had a great weekend and wishing you a happy evening!

  4. Greetings from Houston ~ I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has found it nice to take a wee break from the laptop. Hard to do for long & I would of hated to miss yet another of one of your great posts. Lanvin in my book is always on the edge and always so good. These windows I like. Headless with masks..it just works. The nude dress is truly lovely and hard to take ones eyes off that necklace. I recently won a Lanvin necklace & the box alone made my day. They just know how to do everything right.

    Hope you are doing really well? It sounds like your enjoying life as you should, it slips bye way too fast. I appreciate always your kind comments and encouragement. One day I hope we will meet. xx deb

  5. Love the clothes (especially the draped nude dresses) but the disembodied masks are a bit disturbing to me!

  6. Nothing exciting there, is there? Totally artistic. Exactly what one would expect from Alber. So nice to actually see his windows, thank you for this. xx's

  7. I love the Lanvin window display, love the limbs coming out of the bags and the masks. The red drapes and gold tassels make a bold statement.
    Glad that you have been able to enjoy good weather there.

    Hugs

  8. i'm a bit scared by the masks and robes and I feel like it's taking away from my attention to the items in the display. however, it is very visually interesting. it's a little too Eyes Wide Shut for me.

    hope you're having a good start to the week!

  9. i have to think a lot about what is the message behind it all - is there any or is it just, you know, "something we thought would be fun to do over here at lanvin".

    if it's the first one - i love it.

    if it's the second one - ...

  10. These are amazingly cool. It's so creative. The ones with the arms are slightly creepy, but still quite interesting.

  11. They just can't run out of ideas, can they? Keep up the good work Lanvin, I'm always going to like your clothes and windows :)

  12. Real world trumps blog world and I'm glad you're enjoying youself now that the weather is warmer :) But to be honest, the dangling body parts and masks kind of freak me out!

  19. SO bizarre - I love it!
    Lanvin is a fave of mine, although the Resort 2011 collection was a bit dull for me.
    Great photos of the window display!

  21. I know exactly what you mean re lack of motivation at times. I was a little behind on blogging & visiting other blogs as well. I hope you will be back to your usual updates etc when you have the time.

    The window display is just soo amazing. I always wonder how creative some of these people can be!

    P.S let me know when you are next in London so we can meet for our usual catch ups :)

  22. I'm with you. I'm not a big fan of lifelike mannequins...but I can't stop staring at these pics!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh my, this is one of the best window displays I have seen in a long time. The draped white dress is just stunning - I wish I were wearing it right now (instead of my cute cat pajamas!) I love how the mannequins remind me of phantom of the opera!

    ReplyDelete

    Please come join my *Cupcake Challenge*, I promise it will be loads of fun!!

  35. Lanvin...sigh, they always have gorgeous displays. Don't worry about not blogging, enjoy the weather while it lasts.

  36. these are a tiny bit creepy! just a little macabre! or perhaps i am projecting! hahaha. nevertheless, they are beautiful and quite intriguing!

    and if i ever see that cowboy again, i will pounce if he doesn't have a girlfriend. :)

  37. Ooooh this is hauntingly engaging. Like this is the kind of window display that would make me stop on the street and stare

    ReplyDelete

  39. What a nice play with the masks... Lanvin does have some mighty interesting window displays!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Can I let you in on a little secret? My dream has always been to throw a masked ball. Just with masks that are slightly less creepy than those.

    Lanvin always takes it to the next level, don't they?

    So envious of your great weather -- I wish I could say the same way over here in Vancouver.

  46. wow that's really neat and chic! My fav is the limbs coming out of the bag. And yeah I don't mind Miley dressing scandalous if she's legal of age, but she's not and everytime she expose herself it's just... ugh! not a turn on if I was a guy lol

  47. What a great shop display, window displays just arent that interesting in the UK. So its nice seeing something really fun and different.

  49. Thanks for posting these amazing window displays...as if I didn't already LOVE Lanvin enough....

    ReplyDelete
  50. I agree with you on lifelike mannequins being creepy...I just think if Kim Cattrall in Mannequin...weirdness. But these Lanvin windows are very innovative. Great post!

  51. This is such an interesting display from Lanvin. Completely agree with you that the whimsical ones are preferable. This is rather, hmmm, shall I say, "different"? I didn't even notice the trench, the dresses and the lovely jewelries til after reading your caption. Maybe I just get spooked so easily but limbs popping out of bags (don't care even if it's Lanvin) is kinda freaky!! =)

    PS - The lack of posts is totally understandable in this good weather. I've also been slacking lately, but mine is because I suddenly realized I've only read 1 book the past 2 years so I immediately had to fix it and managed to read 6 in a row. =)

  52. Its so lovely to be back in the blogging world after a 6 month break to see one of my favourite blogs still posting amazing things! Love it!
