Lanvin: A Return to Elegance in Peter Copping's Highly Anticipated Paris Debut

A Tribute to Jeanne Lanvin's Legacy

Copping's designs paid homage to Jeanne Lanvin's panoramic creativity, encompassing everything from couture to perfumes and interiors. The collection revived signature elements of the house, including capes, draped ribbon dresses, and the iconic (asterisk)robe de style.(asterisk) Notable looks included a gold metallic lurex dress, a petaled skirt, cascading antique-style lace aprons, and gilded trousers, which deftly balanced historical reference and contemporary allure.

Copping's approach revealed a deep reverence for the house's heritage. While some might wonder whether this homage leaned too close to the past, the collection's richness demonstrated his commitment to preserving the maison's DNA.
