The Lanvin story began in Paris in 1889, laying claim to the mantel of France’s oldest couture house in continuous operation. Today, the Maison’s couture heritage is evident in every stitch, fold and pleat of its womenswear, menswear and accessories offering, with peerless craftsmanship and inventive vision at the heart of everything it does. In the safe hands of Artistic Director Peter Copping, Lanvin still holds founder Jeanne Lanvin’s concept of le Chic Ultime – the ‘quintessence of chic’ – close, with design innovation continuing to propel the Maison over 100 years after its founding, ensuring the offering is considered, contemporary and often unexpected.
