Coffee with Mr. Elbaz

While stumbling through endless new collection photos, one's attention is bound to be heightened with the first click on Lanvin's pre-fall.  Not only are the clothes effortlessly chic, beautifully styled, and completely lust-worthy, but the lookbook shots are complete with exotic and some rather ferocious creatures....giving the feminine masterpieces just the right amount of edge and excitement.   When asked about his collection, Elbaz stated, "It's not about Marilyn Monroe moving to India and having an acid trip.  It's about real women's needs and desires."  Not surprising that Mr. Elbaz more than met our expectations with the a stunning combination of muted hues, perfectly draped silks, fur detailing, and just a touch of sparkle.  Even his more tailored pieces are a breath of fresh air; most not complete without the addition of a little expertly-placed added volume to keep it updated.  He elaborates on the trend of wearing evening for day, "why save the best dishes for the guests?"  And if that means wearing Lanvin to meet your friend for a cup of coffee when you hit the 3 o'clock wall, we're game.
