Lanvin's Inflatable Summer Dream (Paris, France)


As I'm currently in complete denial that summer is finally over (I was still wearing sandals last week), these Lanvin windows, which I took just over a month ago, are a perfect reminder of warmer and sunnier times. TV screens featuring the beach and ocean provided the perfect backdrop. Though Alber Elbaz is no stranger to whimsy and fun, these displays were even more entertaining, thanks to the use of inflatable props. Who knew that plastic and chic could be combined in such a charming way?

    This is quite cheek in the tongue-ish! It is fun to see how different stores cook up their own kind of soup. Paris is 'the place' to savor these delights!

    I'm not sure I like these so much to be honest...feels a bit cheap. The inflatable trees are what bother me, the rest of it is quite nice.

    Love it! Lanvin always has the quirkiest displays and we could always use the reminder :) BTW- getting my wisdom teeth pulled was relatively painless. I think I've had a worse experience getting cleanings :o/

    i am a broken record here, but the lanvin displays are simply the best! i love them!

    and the calendar says fall, but the weather here says summer. it is 90 degrees, so i am still wearing sandals. very hard to put on jeans and boots when the hot weather is still happening! :)

    LONG LIVE LANVIN!

    i think it's such a luxurious to be able to create a conceptual environment for such a brand with heritages that could easily suffocates a designer's imaginations. did you look through the H&M promo for Lanvin and H&M? i think i am in love with Alber elbaz's english speech ...

    btw: it would be totally lovely if you can support my designs on talenthouse.com for nine west creative invite by voting via your facebook?

    So sorry we could not meet in Paris,my schedule was simply brutal and did not lleave much time for anything else. Well, there is always next year. :-))) Well, I also wore sandals few days ago and now sick with terrible cold. I can definately feel Fall in the air. :-))) Wishing you wonderful week, darling!
