Fall 2009 Lanvin Collection. I drew from this fabulous collection by Alber Elbaz to create a classic urban look reminiscent of the 40s. I love his simple silhouettes that focus on feminine power.

Their 2009 Spring collection was impeccable. I loved the strong British music scene influence (the accessories and above the ankle pants) mixed with a hint of timeless elegance.

Heavy tweeds, frothy silks, ruffles and bows in simple black and white work in unison to create a look that never goes out of style. I translated this inspiration into an outfit I can take to the street. As Coco said herself, “Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
