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!
