Design History:
Lanvin, founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, is renowned for its timeless elegance and sophisticated draping. This dress perfectly embodies the spirit of the house under the artistic direction of Alber Elbaz, who modernized the brand’s DNA in the 2000s by emphasizing fluidity, femininity and couture detail. Today, Lanvin cocktail dresses from this period are sought-after for their craftsmanship and haute couture-inspired glamour.
Exterior Details:
The dress is distinguished by its intense red hue, a signature of sophistication and femininity. It is structured around a draped collar in the back, held by a round brooch covered in tone-on-tone fabric and encircled with rhinestones, a nod to the jewelry ornamentation dear to the house. The long sleeves are embellished with five small silver jeweled buttons at the wrists, reinforcing the dressy allure of the piece. The fluid line hugs the body without constricting it, falling elegantly to the floor.
Interior Details:
The interior is unlined, true to the lightness of the stretch fabric, which doesn’t require a rigid structure. An invisible zipper is concealed on the left side, facilitating donning while maintaining a streamlined exterior. The inner label attests to French manufacturing, composed mainly of viscose with a touch of elastane for comfort.
Product Condition:
The dress is brand new, with original tag still attached. No flaws, stains or snags are visible. Finishes are clean, seams strong and jewel buttons perfectly attached. The fabric retains all its original fluidity and shine.
Care instructions:
This piece should be dry-cleaned by a professional specializing in delicate textiles to preserve the lustre of the fabric and decorative elements. Store on a wide hanger in a breathable cover. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to preserve the intensity of the red.
