The ambassadorship announcement follows the April departure of Bruno Sialelli, Lanvin‘s creative mastermind for the past four years. In the wake of this change, Lanvin launched the Lanvin Lab, a creative incubator designed to foster collaborations with international talents.
Lanvin Lab’s first partnership is with rapper Future, who was unveiled in June as the brand’s first guest creative. The partnership includes the co-creation of a line of ready-to-wear and accessories for both men and women, to be launched for the Fall/Winter collection.
