Lanvin, the oldest fashion house in Paris

Lanvin, fashion brand, was created by Madame Jeanne Lanvin in Paris. She was influenced by visual arts such as Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Eugène Boudin, and Edouard Vuillard. For sever years, this brand was a family affair. In fact, afer Jeanne Lanvin, her daugher, Marie-Blanche was in charge until 1950. After that, for about three decades, a succession of designers put their oar in, including Maryll Lanvin, who was chief designer for several years in the mid-1980s (she was the wife of Jeanne’s grand-nephew) and Claude Montana, who had a go in the early 1990s. 
Then, in 2001 investor group Harmonie S.A., headed by Mrs. Shaw-Lan Wang, bought Lanvin company and hired Alber Elbaz, a gifted and refined designer who had honed his skills at Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, and Geoffrey Beene. Through many years and many designers, it has stayed true to the vision of its founder, Madame Jeanne Lanvin, always valuing fine craftsmanship and impeccable ornamentation above all else.
Today, I would suggest a Lanvin's trench, matching with sexy lingerie by Cosabella, shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood, and clutch by Moschino.
