Jeanne Lanvin, one of the great couturiers of the early twentieth century, gave up her careeer as a milliner when her clients began to demand copies of the dresses she had made for her younger sister and daughter. These youthful mother-and-daughter outfits made Lanvin famous. Her designs blurred the distinctions between women and young girls with fluid silhouette, flattering both a growing shape as well as one approaching middle age. Lanvin also created the very feminine and popular "robes de style" and romantic dresses. Her work is characterized by fine embroidery, superb craftsmanship, and harmonius colors-among them the "Lanvin blue," to which she gave her name.

Introduction to Jeanne Lanvin,
By markss "markss" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lanvin (Hardcover)
This book makes the perfect gift along with a bottle of Arpege or any other accessory by Lanvin. However as a standalone it might not give the anticipated indepth information a reader would be looking for. The tableaus selected for the book are nicely choosen, providing an overview on the variety of Jeanne Lanvin's work and are in compliance to the text. All in all it is an adequate introduction to Jeanne Lanvin as a person and couturier
