{"title":"LANVIN","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLanvin 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2015-lanvin-by-alber-elbaz-teal-tiered-maxi-dress","title":"2015 Lanvin by Alber Elbaz Teal Tiered Maxi Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vibrant maxi-dress was produced for Lanvin’s Spring 2015 collection and several similar designs were shown on the runway. A celebratory affair as the House, and Elbaz, honoured its 125th anniversary in Paris. It is poignant too as it was one of the last fashion collections presided over by the late designer at arguably the height of his career. He left the House in late 2015 and whilst working on other projects, died in 2021 of Covid related complications aged just 59.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed of two rippling layers of beautiful soft crepe in vivacious teal blue-green depending on the light conditions. The top layer cascades round the body, falling with a stunning waterfall style down the back. The hem on both layers is lined and stiff and holds its shape, creating wave-like forms around the waist and ankles which meet at the rear of the gown and form a slight slit to the back of the skirt. The dress is tailored to a racer-back style at the top, an elegant cut that reveals the shoulders. The back ties prettily behind the back of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gown is unlined and in excellent vintage condition with no issues. The label states that it is 100% polyester and it has no size label so please check our measurements below. As the Vogue review of the Spring 2015 collection aptly commentated, Alber Elbaz knows whether a dress is working not from the dress itself, but from the model’s face when she puts it on. From how our model felt in this dress (which fit her size UK 8-10, 5ft 11in. frame perfectly), we know he designed a winner. And, probably good for a size bigger too :-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 34 in. (86.36 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 28 in.

We believe it was made during the reign of the brand’s lauded Creative Director Alber Elbaz sometime in the early 2010s. Tailored from a buttery soft, silk-mix velvet in a rich plum hue, it is cut to a laid-back, loose style that can just as easily be worn open or closed. The stand out detailing on this piece is the beautiful rawness of the hem, it is delicately frayed along the collar, lapels and cuffs; a very signature trait of Elbaz. This elegant piece is fully lined in black silk. It closes at the front with two large black silk-covered buttons. The cuffs are detailed with three black silk-covered buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note.

It almost certainly straddles the WWII time period or just after, circa mid 1930s - to late 1940s. Lanvin is the oldest French luxury fashion house still in operation today and was founded in Paris in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin. During WWII, Jeanne continued to operate her house, creating special collections for women engaged in war work and regulation uniforms for female armed-service members. After Jeanne Lanvin died in 1946, her daughter Marie-Blanche de Polignac became president of the company and continued to design collections until 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from a thick black wool, it is cut to a gently tailored silhouette with a lightly nipped-in waist. The stand out detailing on this piece is the beautiful braid along the collar and the double flaps of the pockets. Sat atop strips of inky black velvet ribbon, the black braid criss-crosses, forming figures of eight. This elegant piece is fully lined in cream silk jacquard woven with a pattern which looks like curved pieces of ribbon. It closes at the front with three large black buttons edged with gold-tone paint. Each cuff is detailed with two smaller buttons. The original label is threadbare and reads “Lanvin 15. Faubourg St. Honore Paris”. In the 1920s, Jeanne and the architect and interior designer, Armand-Albert Rateau, opened a pavilion dedicated to the art of living at 15 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The store carried men's and women's sports clothing as well as homewares originally in the Art Deco taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is in very good vintage condition, bordering on excellent, for a garment approaching 90 years of age.
