Maybe it’s the fact that I, too, adore the forget-me-not color from the Fra Angelico fresco that was the inspiration for Elber Abaz’s packaging. Or perhaps it’s the turn of the century glamour that is synonymous with the just the whisper of the name Lanvin, but without doubt its Lanvin to whom I turn when I’m in need of subtle inspiration. Rising to fame in the 20s and ’30s, Jeanne Lanvin’s intricate trimmings, embroideries and beaded decorations in floral colors became her trademark and synonymous with the light, fantastic Paris of our imaginations.

And because handbags are always somewhat more within the realm of purchasing possibility (these are all available at Barneys) I thought I would remind the world exactly how brightly Lanvin shines.– Joanne Molina for Second City Style
