LANVIN

Lanvin is a French multinational high fashion house, founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889. It is the third oldest French fashion house still in operation. Lanvin started out making clothes for her daughter, Marie-Blanche de Polignac, with wealthy friends seeking the same for their own children. This led to dressmaking for their mothers and in turn some of the most famous names in Europe who visited her new boutique on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris. The Lanvin logo was inspired by a photograph taken for Jeanne Lanvin as she attended a ball with her daughter wearing matching outfits in 1907.
