The Lanvin Spring 2008 collection stayed away from the floral trend of the season. Instead it included Grecian goddess gowns with horsehair hems, tunic dresses covered in feathers, flapper-style dresses, tiered dresses and ruffled cocktail dresses.
Celebrities can not get enough of Alber Elbaz stunning designs…
…especially author/actress Padma Lakshmi, who has an enviable collection.
If you had not heard of Lanvin before Cannes Film Festival, you most definitely do now, thanks mostly to Natalie Portman, who wore the signature tiered ruffle cocktail dresses many times on the red carpet.
Alberta Ferretti, Marchesa and Roberto Cavalli all dressed many celebrities at Cannes, but Natalie Portman, Carine Roitfeld, Kristin Scott Thomas, Gwyneth Paltrow and Linda Evangelista, stood out, and were most talked about in Lanvin’s unique collection.
It has been exciting seeing so much of Lanvin on the red carpet lately, the only problem with so many fantastic celebrities wearing them, is that people like Heidi Montag, Paris Hilton, Jenna Jameson, will soon catch on that wearing these stunning dresses = exposure, so they may starting wearing the collection.
Do you remember how Herve Leger was first worn by the likes of Kate Bosworth, Catherine Zeta Jones and Emily Blunt when she collected her Golden Globe Award?
Now it’s worn to death by Kim Kardashian, Melanie B and Audrina Patridge.
It is not just the red carpet were we are seeing a lot of Lanvin.
Many dresses from the collection have appeared on both models and celebrities in editorials within magazine all over the world.
Drew Barrymore’s March 2008 US Vogue editorial, featured two dresses from the collection.
The stunning advertising campaign, shot by Steven Meisel. The shots are enchanting with its vivid colours, wildflower background and the haunting stare and pale skin of model Olga Sherer.
The store window in Paris was just a beautiful.
Fans were used in the window, to display the billowing nature of the mushroom-cloud dresses.
It is my summer wish, to own one of these gowns.
