Lanvin - Runway Review
Hip hip hooray! Ten years of Alber! The universally-loved birthday boy threw a whopping Lanvin party Friday night—first, a sure-fire stellar collection and then all-out after party that even the most jaded of fashion editors happily stayed out late for. Taking to a glittery stage, backed by Joey Arias and a motley band of dance musicians, Alber Elbaz belted out a sweet rendition of Doris Day’s “Que Sera, Sera,” singing, “When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother, ‘What will I be?’” Then, as the saying goes, let them eat cake! Huger piles of petit-fours, macaroons, candied fruits, bonbons, chocolate éclairs and sugared almonds on groaning trolleys had guests stepping over themselves.
As for the show, it was a fast-stomping, glorious spectacle of all the achievements Elbaz has made his own as the triumphant pioneer of the Dress Decade. It wasn’t a retrospective, per say; instead, Elbaz advanced the collection, sending models out at a businesslike clip in wave after wave of the clean-cut to the flouncy to the elaborate and frankly bonkers-brilliant things he does to cover a woman’s body from neck to knee.
P.S. Lanvin is carried at Hirshleifers!
