The New Lanvin Store Opens In London. We Got Picts!!! fashion

I’m truly in like with this brand lately. Alber is totally my new fashion nerd now that Marc is all toned, tanned and towing around the fiance. I think his understanding of women is phenomenal and his ability to craft such beautiful pieces season after season is impressive to say the least. Well his new London shop is open and it’s filled with all the needed Lanvin a girly could want including wedding dresses which Alber joked we’re perfect for women walking down the isle a third or fourth time. More pictures below… enjoysies.

Lanvin Reveals Mini Porcelain Dolls

Rebecca Alexander, Editor December 3 at 11:57 | Comments

Alber Elbaz delighted and surprised us when he adorned the Lanvin Faubourg Saint-Honoré store window with miniature mannequins last year and then took it a step further to create six Miss Lanvin porcelain hand painted dolls with Taiwanese ceramics company Franz. It was a hark back to Jeanne Lanvin’s partaking in the post-war Theâtre de la Mode show which saw French couturiers showcasing their designs through miniature dolls, due to the lack of fabric. The second series of dolls from Lanvin have just been released and feature seven silhouettes from the S/S 08 Lanvin collection as well as the bridal capsule collection. Packaged in Lanvin’s signature pale blue boxe, again they will only be produced in a limited edition of 800.

Hitting the newsstands is September is Glamour magazine. Normally Glamour is always hitting the right notes; a fun read to divulge into the world of beauty, fashion, news, and tips (not before Fashionindie of course), but we can’t say we agree with one of their articles in the making. Glamour is set to release an article, in their September issue, featuring “Seven People Who Could Change Your Style”. The list is less than impressive. The seven “fashionistas” include Pat McGrath, Victoria Beckham, Christian Louboutin, Alber Elbaz, Takashi Murakami, Serge Normant, and Agyness Deyn. Though many of these men and women have made significant names for themselves, I think it’s a little overboard to say that these seven people would change anyones style. Don’t get me wrong, their individual and unique and they let their clothes speak for themselves, but to say they start the trend? It’s ridiculous!

Thanks to fashionista for the pic!

Esquire Attempts To Squeeze Some Art Out Of Its Covers

Daniel Saynt, Editor-In-Chief May 20 at 10:00 | Comments

Esquire Magazine, in a brazen attempt to still seem relevant in todays world of dotcom fashion, decided to celebrate their 75th Anniversary by recreating some of their “iconic” covers created by long time art director George Lois. Most of the photos are pretty poor attempts at recreation and most of the newer images are just too different from the originals. I can appreciate the Vivienne Westwood shot, which corresponds to an anti-war cover for the magazine that featured the 100th murdered Vietnam solider. Aside from that the connections seem strained.

Pondering Alber Elbaz for Acne Jeans

Pondering Alber Elbaz for Acne Jeans fashion

Another day, another designer collaboration.

Alber Elbaz from Lanvin for Acne Jeans.

Everyone’s talking about it. Are you?

I’m not cause it’s just not that exciting to me. What can Alber possibly do to jeans that hasn’t already been done by better designers a million times before?

Maybe I’m just not as much as a sucker, but when a big name designer decides to partner with a company for something as specific as jeanswear, it usually means a bunch of overhyped, overpriced unstylish garbage which shouldn’t be worn by anyone with half a stylish braincell cause a) everyone will be able to identify it, which means b) you’re really starved for attention and c) you have too much money to spend on getting noticed.

So ladies, before you drop $500 for a pair of Acne Jeans (just thinking they’ll be in that range cause of Lanvin’s history) realize that no one thinks you’re as special as you believe yourself to be. Seriously, no one.
