Lanvin Spring 2009



Lanvin’s Spring 2009 collection was one of the last of Paris Fashion Week, and the one I was looking forward to the most.
I was not disappointed. In fact was was surprised Alber Elbaz introduced prints and floral embellishment on a few of the pieces, something I do not recall him using before.
Some maybe tiring of Alber’s silhouettes and shapes, but for me these are very much a Lanvin signature, and I do not think a collection would be complete without them.
There were many one-shoulder tops, and dresses in this collection, as there were many draped pieces.
The colour palette had lots of black, but there were also loud colours, like pink, green, orange, and yellow and more neutral colours like nude, pink and grey.
I have not doubt we will see many of these dresses on the red carpet. My favourite is the blue animal print one-shouldered dress.
