Lanvin’s Costume Party
October 3rd, 2009 admin

Alber Elbaz was responsible for reviving the very Parisian idea of costume jewelry (Merci, Coco!) back in 2006 with his chic, beribboned pieces. Every Lanvin show since has had a bijoux component in varying degrees, but yesterday, Elbaz amped it up like never before with a crescendoing glitz factor. There were wide enameled cuffs stacked over black leather gloves, slinky gold chains dangling Byzantine-inspired pendants, fat chain links studded with stones, and dramatically twisting Medusa-worthy snakes.

Lanvin's Alber Elbaz is the auteur of the specific brand of imperfect glamour that has dominated clothing design over the last few years. Because of him, asymmetrical ruffles, organza and grosgrain ribbon trim and unfinished seams have taken over T-shirts, jackets and dresses at every chain store on the planet, including J. Crew and Ann Taylor....

At Lanvin, Alber Elbaz offered a stronger, more grown-up alternative to many of the season's lacy lingerie looks. The first group of satin cocktail dresses wasn't unlike what we've seen from him before, with stiff flounces at the shoulder, or curling down the sides. But when leather entered the equation, with a stunning lipstick-red dress...

Hollywood jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer (who’s hitched to actor Tobey Maguire) is famous for her delicate nature-inspired jewelry, including her ubiquitous gold leaf pendant necklaces.

No matter how pretty a dress might be, what’s the point if it’s only good for standing around awkwardly because it’s just too fragile to do anything else with it?

It’s a misconception that women don’t know their way around a tool shed, but they might be more likely to turn out a pair of earrings than a shelving unit. Nina Stotler’s VonKottwitz line of heavy metal necklaces, earrings, and bracelets is influenced by her youth in Berlin, where she developed an industrial, Bauhaus-inspired...

The best way to celebrate the new? At Lanvin, it’s with an eye to the past. France’s oldest couture house marked its 120th anniversary on Wednesday night at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo’s main sumo stadium. Amid red paper lanterns, glittering chandeliers, and bright lights, Alber Elbaz, Lanvin menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver,...

A few nights ago, Thom Browne was insisting that it’s possible to do new things in menswear, while I was arguing the nothing-new-under-the-sun case.
