DESCRIPTION:
"Odd, not in a good way" according to timestep. Whatever aesthetic was at work in the development of this book was lost on me. I disliked almost everything about it, but most importantly, perhaps, was the difficulty in seeing the clothes. There was something almost creepy about the way they were presented in frantic, manufactured tableaus, draped on puppet-like figures whose distorted features and bodies were alienating. This purchase is definitely not worth the money, unless you want to investigate a failure.. "Not about the fashions" according to close reader. The emphasis here is on window displays, most of which seem rather chaotic and trashy. So if you're expecting to see beautiful fashions, don't look here. There are better books which show Lanvin styles to advantage.. "Five Stars" according to Pedro. LOVE IT
Alber Elbaz was born in Israel and is presently the design director of the house of Lanvin.
Under the helm of present design director Alber Elbaz, Lanvin is now one of the powerhouses of Paris fashion, and his respectful nod to the origins and founding aesthetic of Lanvin is tempered by an unrivaled, transformative energy that has created a new, youthful audience for the house. One of the pillars of Elbaz’s work, apart from staging dynamic runway presentations, is a unique way of presenting his designs in the windows of their flagship stores, most notably in the boutique on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-H
