Dating back to 1889, Lanvin is Paris' oldest couture fashion house. Founded by French fashion designer and icon, Jeanne Lanvin began her career has a milliner and after giving birth to her daughter, Marguerite, she began to make dress for her daughter and her dolls. After joining the Dressmaker's Union, the Lanvin brand took off and has never looked back as the go-to for gorgeous clothes with a dramatic edge. She skillfully incorporated embroidery, luxurious fabrics, accents and ornaments like ribbons and ruffles and colors like the famous "Lanvin Blue" into her impeccable designs setting herself in a league all her own. With Alber Elbaz taking the reigns as creative director in 2001, his eye for superb craftsmanship set the brand even higher than the rest and has continuously presented amazing collections every season.
