“Fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about process – keeping it going.”

“There is something special about clothes that are made by women (at the atelier) and not by machine. They do something for the clothes. There is a huge difference when I see a suit, or pants and a shirt being done by the atelier, and the same pieces done by a factory. It’s an emotion. Zara can’t copy that.”

Lanvin Resort 2014
One can easily understand why women love Alber Elbaz so much. He creates the clothes that, in some subtle ways, remind of the most beautiful pieces from the past collections we’re already in love with, whilst simultaneously gives us designs that feel fresh, youthful and suitable for practically any occasion.
Resort 2014 was like a bag of assorted sweets – all kinds of flavours, all sorts of colours with a few classic chocolate nibs thrown in to please the admirers of simplicity and timeless elegance.
If I could wear Lanvin, these would be the clothes I chose - the white dress and black leather bag being my absolute favourite.

“Designers and editors can give you nonstop advice, but in the end, the mirror never lies. Stop long enough to look in it and it will reveal what’s right for you. Trust your intuition, not someone else’s standards.”

P.S. And what would be a better way to wish any fashionista a Happy New Year than a whimsical animated card from Lanvin…
