The "Prestige Line" from "Lanvin Collection" was born as a limited edition for exclusive events, inviting special clients. These rare pieces, possessing a charm distinct from the main line, are now available for reservation at stores. It is a luxury line produced in limited quantities at factories with high technical capabilities, using materials chosen from around the globe. Centered around formal setups, this season features a total of seven items: three types of jackets, two types of skirts, and one each of a dress and a coat. We delve into the allure of these rare and special items through their materials, sewing, and design.

LINTON was founded in 1912 in Carlisle, a city in Cumbria, located at the northwestern tip of England, a region historically renowned for its wool textile industry since before the Industrial Revolution. Since Coco Chanel presented a collection that extensively incorporated the company's tweed in the 1920s, Linton has maintained its reputation as the go-to name for fancy tweed to this day.

For the Prestige Line's jacket and dress set, a rare fancy tweed from the company was selected. The fabric, with a cotton base blended with viscose—which offers a silk-like luster and smoothness—is used for the dress bodice and jacket trim, creating an elegant and rich texture. The taffeta fabric for the main body is also noteworthy, woven with specially processed yarn at high density to achieve a moderate crispness. This allows for a silhouette that holds its shape beautifully while showcasing a refined sheen.

The sewing was entrusted to a factory in Kumamoto Prefecture with a proven track record, and the corsage adorning the chest was meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Iwate Prefecture. The exquisite craftsmanship, befitting rare, high-quality materials, is truly characteristic of the Prestige Line.

While the UK remains a renowned center for tweed, France, home to numerous fashion houses, also boasts several prestigious manufacturers with over a century of history. CLARENSON is one such name, specializing in unique tweeds that artfully combine vibrant colored yarns and sparkling metallic threads. Continuously incorporating the latest technologies, they expand their collection to include bouclé, jacquard, and more.

From this company, "Frutti Pink Tweed" was chosen, a blend of pale pink and lustrous passion pink. This fabric, which fully harnesses the inherent character of its yarns, is both vibrant and strikingly present. Its distinctive texture and depth, unlike that of domestic or British fabrics, are a testament to the French aesthetic sensibility and CLARENSON's advanced technical prowess. To further enhance the tweed's appeal, a special rayonモール with lamé threads is used for the trimmings, adding a touch of sparkle that should not be overlooked.

With a timeless, classic design and a silhouette that flatters the figure, this set can be worn elegantly as a matching ensemble, or playfully mixed with casual items like jeans.

Stefano, who had a long career in sales for Italian fabric manufacturers, established EMIL JERSEY to respond to rapidly changing fashion trends, specializing in knits and jerseys. With a swift and efficient small team, they develop fabrics, and despite being a relatively new manufacturer, they have grown rapidly, supplying fabrics to numerous brands.

The secret lies in its unprecedented novelty. As the name suggests, the "Bump Surface Jersey" adopted this time is characterized by fine raised ridges on the fabric surface. By loosely knitting thick nylon yarns, it creates a luxuriously shimmering fabric that reflects light at various angles.

A thin satin tape was chosen for the trim to complement the jersey material. Bias cutting eliminates the need for edge finishing, resulting in a light feel. Furthermore, the chiffon used for the jacket's front closure, cuffs, and skirt hem is sewn with a narrow, three-needle overlock stitch. This piece, born from numerous challenging sewing techniques, is truly worthy of being called a masterpiece.

OFFICHINA, a textile manufacturer that receives constant offers from numerous famous brands, is located in the suburbs of Como, Lombardy, Italy, an area also known as a luxury resort destination. With an annual production capacity of approximately 20 million tons, the company boasts an overwhelming market share and quality, particularly in printed fabrics.

The animal print used for this season's trench coat, resembling both leopard and Dalmatian spots, creates an impactful piece that evokes a unique sense of "wavering" and "depth."

Design-wise, it features large symmetrical gun patches and a long waist belt that can be tied like a ribbon, with a slightly shorter length. By giving ample volume to the hem, the pattern appears to shift with movement, offering a fresh perspective. The fabric's unique crispness and shape-memory properties make it resistant to wrinkles, maintaining its elegant appearance.
