Lanvin by Alber Elbaz
“When you walk, look into five different directions: Look straight because you have to look forward. Look back because you have to remember where you’re coming from. Look to the sides to see who are the people that are going to be next to you if you need them. Look down to make sure you don’t step on anyone. And look up because you have to remember that someone protects us. This is, maybe, what my life is all about.”
(Alber Elbaz)
Below I have chosen my favourite looks from every Lanvin collection designed by Alber Elbaz from the season that I started my blog (Spring/Summer 2008) until he departed the house (Spring/Summer 2016). A genuinely talented designer who created beautiful fantasies that you could touch, you could buy and you could wear.
