Lanvin’s Big Business, Zac’s Lower Line, And More…

Alber Elbaz got a present: “a capital injection estimated in the tens of millions of euros” for Lanvin. We’ll take two. [WWD]
Monday night’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Sophie Théallet runs a tight ship. In her home-cum-studio in Brooklyn, it’s just a three-person show. Four including the baby. [WWD]
Zac Posen is heading to double-digit territory. His new, lower-priced line, Z Spoke (get it?), will only be available at Saks, but prices start at $78. “Chic sportswear should be at this price point,” the designer reasoned. We couldn’t agree more. [WWD]
No pants in Paris—it’s the law. An age-old rule forbidding women to wear trousers—unless they’re “on a bicycle or holding it by the handlebars”—has resurfaced. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy better get out of town. [Telegraph]
Claudia Schiffer is almost definitely pretty sure she’s going to go into fashion design. “I would love to do cashmere…but I’d love to do something a bit more price-friendly…. Or I could imagine doing handbags.” Low-end cashmere handbags. Sounds great. [WWD]
