Congratulations to Alber Elbaz on 10 Years as Creative Director!



Lanvin, celebrating Alber Elbaz's 10th anniversary as Creative Director, presented a spectacular anniversary collection. The venue buzzed with celebratory energy even before the show began, with caviar, champagne, and birthday cake.

The collection opened with a vibrant palette of oranges, greens, and yellows, showcasing a culmination of his past works. Fifty looks were presented, featuring Lanvin's signature not-too-sweet ruffles, grosgrain ribbons, and dresses with bold zipper details—a true embodiment of the house's icons.

A Collection Inspired by Travel and the "LOUIS VUITTON – MARC JACOBS" Exhibition



For Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs sent a 20th-century steam locomotive, the Vuitton Express, chugging along inside the usual tent at the Louvre.

Models disembarked one by one from the train onto the platform, walking alongside porters carrying luggage. Fur-adorned hats and jeweled pantsuits created an air of elegant travel style.
