Moody, brooding and harsh contrasts of light, reflecting dark deep shadows that only heightened the vernacular of the brand’s identity, Alber Elbaz declared the latest Lanvin ready-to-wear collection a culmination of Xtravagant, Xtreme, and Xperiment: Triple X!
A furious flurry of pleating, feathers and textural
exuberance, the Edwardian references were forceful, as helmet clad models took
the audience on a twisted time lapse, their faces predominantly cast into
darkness.
The overly laboured excess, threatening to literally burst
at the seams, saw nostalgic showstoppers in ghostly floor length gowns
transcending fluidly into elaborate flapper girls and Edie Campbell in that dress! Following, in severe contrast
were a sparse handful of seemingly simple silk slip dresses, the calm amidst
the beautiful storm.
