Lanvin Fall 2009 Collection, Paris, France (March 9, 2009). Presented in Standard Definition
Alber Elbaz set the bar for Fall 2009 presenting a sensuous collection that focused on desirable feminine clothes, further cementing his cult status among women who adore fashion.
Presented in the gigantic Musee de Homme the crowd audibly gasped as the curtain opened to reveal a much larger space with a giant monolithic doorway covered entirely with red roses and a glistening asphalt runway.
Elbaz’s voluptuous clothes took center stage with stunningly elegant coats, dresses and evening wear reminiscent of the powerful feminine clothes of the 1940s, yet modern and contemporary displaying luxurious options.
Standout looks among the strong display of exquisite suits and dresses included a strapless nude-colored dress swathed in tulle. By the end of the show, it was clear that Lanvin has what it takes to transcend the recession with clothes that women want to wear. Lanvin Fall 2009 is truly one of my favorite collections and is one of our top 10 shows of the season.
