Fashion house Lanvin has unveiled its Autumn 2024 collection, embodying the essence of le chic ultime while paying homage to its rich heritage. Founded by the visionary Jeanne Lanvin, the Maison has been a central figure in the evolution of modern fashion, witnessing and contributing to the cultural epochs from its prestigious location on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. Jeanne Lanvin’s multi-faceted approach, including couture, menswear, childrenswear, fragrance, accessories, and interiors, established the foundation of a modern fashion house.
The latest collection draws inspiration from Nancy Cunard, an English writer, heiress, and patron of couturiers and the arts. Although not extensively documented, Cunard and Lanvin shared a connection through their joint ventures at the intersection of fashion and the arts. Cunard, known for her advocacy for racial and social justice in 1920s and 30s Paris, influenced the fashion world with her distinctive style, famously captured by Man Ray, a later collaborator of Jeanne Lanvin.
Cunard’s wardrobe, a blend of masculine tailoring and bohemian flair, resonates with today’s fashion sensibilities. Lanvin has infused this energy into its Autumn 2024 collection, presenting menswear and womenswear that balances sharp tailoring with elegant sportswear. The collection features daytime and evening wear, including embellished cocktail attire, charmeuse gowns, and grain de poudre tuxedos, all emblematic of Lanvin’s renowned craftsmanship.
The accessories line continues the trend of discreet refinement, expanding into leather goods, formal shoes highlighting the iconic ballerina, costume jewelry, and sneakers. This season builds upon Lanvin’s established success in the luxury market, particularly in the sneaker category, with a mix of popular styles and innovative designs.
