Lanvin
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 16, 2008
By
For his joyful Resort collection for Lanvin, Alber Elbaz was thinking not only of the "idea of vacation" but also of the "perfect American [look] of the fifties—but made in the wrong way." That translated into off-kilter, asymmetrically draped pieces that seemed just right for the season: bias-cut skirts, slouchy pajama suits, scarf dresses, and unstructured cocktail numbers worn with scads of necklaces and embellished with a scattering of beads or sequin polka dots. Elbaz also unveiled his collaborative effort with Acne Jeans: Everything from shoes and bags to a leg-of-mutton-sleeved dress came in darkest denim, giving chic new life to the beloved workaday fabric.
