One can always count on Alber Elbaz to deliver a consistent, but exciting collection for Lanvin. This season Elbaz was feeling dark – each of the stern-faced models walked out with black pencil straight shoulder-length banged hair, and nearly every look was black or grey.
The daytime looks were boldly sculpted, dramatic, and powerful with their shoulders and stark lines. But in a testament to Elbaz’s unique talent (Tilda Swinton must be dying over almost every monochromatic look), he knows just where to put a pleat or a rounded curve to create a powerful mix of drama and femininity, resulting in faultless collection of wearable looks.
