Book Reviews of Lanvin
Book Review: Lanvin, the low profile designer
Summary: 5 Stars
Lanvin
This is a sumptuous book full of inspiration to any budding designer or anyone with an interest in Haute Couture. I had no idea just how influential Lanvin was at the time and it is interesting to discover just what a massive body of work she has left behind. The history is fascinating and accompanied by contemporaneous illustrations and photographs, alongside detailed photographs of the clothes and information about the people who commissioned the garments. The text is intelligently written and clearly illustrates the development of Lanvin's design house up to the present day though I must confess to being more inspired by the historical designs. I can recommend this to anyone with an interest in fashion, textiles or even social history.
