Whilst the econmy, fashion is to go on about its ways. Neither pessimistic nor optimistic, Alber Elbaz for Lanvin has stated that the theme of Fall 2009’s Ready to Wear Collection is about the woman who is going about her ways. The modern woman and her needs. From the appearance of the first model on the runway for this show, the imagery was of classic tailoring (though constrasted with what I would argue to be gothic styling of the models), embellishments around the neck, and a certain sobriety.
With design that’s meant to be an investment (as many of the lines are screaming silently in these economic times), Lanvin has delivered a solid collection intended for the realist at heart.
