Lanvin‘s Pre-Fall 2024 collection beautifully highlights the brand’s essence of refined chic and the lasting elegance inherent to a historic Parisian fashion label established by Jeanne Lanvin. This collection is a tribute to the maison’s journey through time, solidly anchored in its prestigious location in Paris, reflecting Lanvin’s broad expertise across various fashion domains, initiated by Jeanne Lanvin’s pioneering approach.
The collection draws inspiration from Nancy Cunard, an English literary figure and supporter of the arts, whose style mixed sharp tailoring with a bohemian touch, a look that resonates with today’s fashion. Although the connection between Cunard and Jeanne Lanvin is not extensively recorded, their paths intersected in the realms of fashion and the arts during the 1920s and 30s in Paris. Cunard was known for her avant-garde style and her strong stance on social and racial justice.
Incorporating this inspiration, Lanvin’s latest menswear and womenswear lines focus on daytime wear characterized by precise tailoring and stylish sportswear, alongside evening wear ranging from adorned cocktail dresses to the brand’s signature charmeuse gowns and grain de poudre tuxedos.
The accessories in this collection also reflect a subtle elegance, continuing the trends set in previous seasons. This includes a diverse range of leather goods, formal footwear with a nod to the iconic ballerina shoe, costume jewelry, and sneakers. These items, both classic and innovative, demonstrate Lanvin’s unique position in the luxury market, particularly in the development of sneakers as a standout category.
