aleXsandro Palombo never fails to tickle us with his creative, tongue-in-cheek illustrations of fashion industry heavyweights, but we are particularly excited about his latest works of art.

For Pre-Fall 2012, Elbaz took us into a world of clandestine beauty and stately volumes. Who doesn’t want a salmon pink swing coat or leather opera gloves or a “plastified” dress with matching jacket in a hue of the deepest red? Any way you look at it, no matter which piece you crave, Lanvin is forever. Click through to see the collection in full.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s officially time to start readying for the grand daddy of all annoying holidays, Christmas. Jingle bells will be jingling, silver bells will be silvering and sleigh bells will be sleighing — meanwhile, who knew there were so many bells associated with this show? — as you scour the racks for the best gift deals, pretend you care about people other than yourself and of course, ready the good ole Christmas tree. But whether you chop it down with your own two hands or take it to the trailer park with tinsel, chances are your tree won’t hold a candle to Claridge’s, this year designed by Lanvin‘s own little elf, Alber Elbaz.

Check out the gallery after the jump.

At the glacial pace Bernard Arnault and co. are moving to replace John Galliano at Christian Dior, the ousted designer will have time to finish rehab, mount a comeback, and muck it all up again in another drunken, anti-Semitic tirade. The luxury brand has been in talks with Marc Jacobs for months, which have been less than smooth, but now it seems that Jacobs and Dior might be calling it quits.
