Alber Elbaz is designing for Acne Denim!
We’d obviously die over a Lanvin diffusion line – even though we know the clothes would be nothing without the luxurious fabrics and intricate detail that make them so expensive in the first place – but this is probably as close as we’re going to get for a long time.
He announced, “It’s time to go back to a product that has a dream to it. I asked myself, ‘What kind of jeans can I bring that will be a Lanvin jean and Acne spirit infused in one?”
Unfortunately the jeans will be priced similarly to Lanvin’s ready-to-wear, as in they’ll be terribly expensive.
But we can’t wait to see how he works with a material so foreign to a Lanvin runway, not to mention a brand so different than what he’s built at the French house.
Will there be denim bow-ties?!

The irony of this post is that the fabrics Lanvin uses are not necessarily luxurious. I bought a *very* expensive dress this season that was made from polyester. It is gorgeous, but working with cheap fabrics is certainly not foreign to Alber!
Actually, there is “designer” level polyester, usually from Japan. Lanvin, Marc J both used this Spring. Just because it’s synthetic doesn’t make it cheap!
Yes, I read that article in W too. But I still say poly is poly.
Don’t get me wrong — it’s gorgeous. But it’s a little silly.
