Summary
The House of Lanvin evolved from the creative force and remarkable energy of an extraordinary woman， Jeanne Lanvin。 Her design career survived fifty-six successful and productive years。 Lanvin is the oldest surviving couture house， in near-continuous existence from 1909 through the present day。 Her body of work includes millinery， children’s wear， haute couture， fragrances， furs， lingerie， menswear， and interior design among others。 The continuous public appeal and the youthful image of these couture creations are lasting aspects of Madame Lanvin’s career。 At the heart of this book are key collections from 1909 through 1946， the year of Lanvin’s death。 Original fashion illustrations， beading and embroidery swatches play a crucial role in demonstrating her intricate， creative， and innovative techniques。 The house of Lanvin is currently experiencing a period of great acclaim， emerging as a darling of the press， Hollywood， and the larger fashion community。 With the most modern of efforts， Alber Elbaz， the current design director， is drawing from the rich Lanvin tradition to create an award-winning collection that at once evokes， reveres， and reinvents the intentions of its founder。

Not just a book of pretty frocks。。。Jeanne Lanvin's imagination （and technical skill） for embroidery is enormous。 Sheer beauty: it's a constant source of inspiration。 Not just a book of pretty frocks。。。Jeanne Lanvin's imagination （and technical skill） for embroidery is enormous。 Sheer beauty: it's a constant source of inspiration。 。。。more

I did not know anything about Lanvin before reading this very detailed overview。 While I learned quite a bit about Madame Lanvin， her designs and work， I was really impressed by the selection of archival photographs， design sketches， and photos of actual garments （many of which showed off details such as bead work and embroidery）。 The fact that there was a chapter exclusively on bead work and embroidery was great。 I was also struck that many of her designs from the 1930s were very modern （and no I did not know anything about Lanvin before reading this very detailed overview。 While I learned quite a bit about Madame Lanvin， her designs and work， I was really impressed by the selection of archival photographs， design sketches， and photos of actual garments （many of which showed off details such as bead work and embroidery）。 The fact that there was a chapter exclusively on bead work and embroidery was great。 I was also struck that many of her designs from the 1930s were very modern （and not necessarily in a vintage/retro feeling of modern way）。 If only I had the money and/or skills to be able to recreate a few of these dresses myself （regardless of any copyright infringement）。 。。。more

Quite a bit more to it than pretty pictures， although there is a generous helping of those。 I particularly liked how frequently they were able to show multiple versions of the same piece -- advertising sketches， b&w photos from when it was new， and full-color contemporary shots of the preserved item on a mannequin。 I was disappointed to see the book skip completely from Lanvin's own designs to Elbaz's。 There's an explanation that they prefer to forget about everything in between， but it would ha Quite a bit more to it than pretty pictures， although there is a generous helping of those。 I particularly liked how frequently they were able to show multiple versions of the same piece -- advertising sketches， b&w photos from when it was new， and full-color contemporary shots of the preserved item on a mannequin。 I was disappointed to see the book skip completely from Lanvin's own designs to Elbaz's。 There's an explanation that they prefer to forget about everything in between， but it would have still been interesting。 Montana's collections， at the least。 The first third or so had interesting descriptions of the general world， and rules， of the designers and their clients， as well as how certain trends took hold， but the rest was heavy on the technical details of certain kinds of embroidery， etc。 。。。more
