Bruno Sialelli hold his new inspired collection for Lanvin, one of the first luxury houses, at the Manufacture des Gobelins, the legendary creator of one of France’s greatest royal art forms – tapestry.
Surrounded by magnificent tapestries which are ‘’a bridge between the past and the present. Between Jeanne Lanvin and myself’’, explained Sialelli, his collection was a plunge into the house’s archive, from the classy silhouettes, to logos and the calligraphy he discovered in a book, ‘’L’Opéra de l’Odorat’’, that founder Jeanne Lanvin had wrote with one of her collaborators, French intellectual writer Louise de Vilmorin.
Just over a year since taking over as creative director, Sialelli hit his stride with this collection by striking Jeanne Lanvin’s legacy, wearability and desirability, and evoking a French touch.
