Rare Treasure Uncovered: The Lanvin You've Never Seen Before.
To say that videos of Lanvin founder Jeanne Lanvin are rare would be
an understatement, but a recently discovered film offers a glimpse of
the legendary designer at work.
Lanvin is seen making last-minute preparations before presenting a
collection. The relative calm of her office, where she contemplates the
intricate beadwork and floral embroidery on her dresses, is spliced with
footage of seamstresses working feverishly in the Lanvin atelier at 22
Faubourg Saint Honoré.
No one's voice is heard in the one-minute clip, but toward the end it
spotlights a quote from Lanvin, who said she tried "every season to
enter the imponderable vogue in the air." A look at her doing just that
in the video below.
