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. Alber Elbaz was the creative director from 2001 to 2015, during which he turned around the fortunes of the house with his desirable "classic with a twist” designs. Peter Copping has lead the house since 2024. This collection forms part of Circa’s designer archive, featuring archival vintage and museum-quality fashion pieces from the house of Lanvin.
