I must admit, the Lanvin show and party stole the show for day three of Paris fashion week. This is not to say I didn’t see some other great stuff. I did. I saw to-die-for wedges at Pierre Hardy and sexy cowgirls at Isabel Marant. And I always, always, love the smiley models en masse Read more →
The creatures who inhabit the fashion world are often prickly and polarizing but Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, who tonight celebrated 10 years at the label with the presentation of his fall 2012 collection and a party immediately following, is pretty much beloved by all.

Katy Perry Makes a Funny at PFW: When asked about the revealing mini dress the Smurfette-tressed pop star donned recently in Paris, she replied, “It’s either Vegas hooker or Balmain.” And upon meeting Conde Nast chairman Jonathan Newhouse, Katy blurted out, “Newhouse– much better than old house!” Maybe the windows weren’t cracked quite enough during all those blue hair dying sessions, but we can’t say we mind the entertainment. {NY Mag}

Let’s face it: Most men don’t have the best taste in jewelry. We’ve seen enough tacky diamonds and hideous gold necklaces to know that.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’ve compiled a list of all the jewelry that a woman would actually want, as a handy, last minute guide for all the gents out there. Overnight shipping may come in handy in these situations.
There’s a cute bunny necklace from Hillier, Margiela cuffs, and a little Lanvin for the romantic in everyone. Ladies, it’s probably a good idea to send your favorites to your beaus now, just so they have some time to return that nameplate necklace and get you something you really want.

PARIS–“The fabrics are specially made in mills in Italy where there is still an appreciation for craftsmanship,” said Lucas Ossendrijver at Lanvin’s temporary showroom on the Seine as we stood before a navy wool jacket reinforced with neoprene at the shoulders.

It’s a whole new year! And a very important year, at that, for one of our favorite designers and fashion personalities, Alber Elbaz. 2012 marks his 10th anniversary as creative director at French fashion house Lanvin – and a lot has a happened since his first collection in 2002. Born in Morocco and raised in Tel Aviv, the bow tie-loving boy originally named “Albert” (he dropped the ‘T’ to avoid American pronunciation mishaps) has become one fashion’s most prominent and beloved (and bespectacled) faces.
In honor of his ten successful years at Lanvin, here’s a review of some of his most memorable moments from the past decade.
