The Lanvin spring 2022 collection has arrived. See all the looks here:
Because the Art Deco archives Bruno Sialelli is tackling at Lanvin are already an acquired taste, he is left with two options: Do you go the polite way, use it sparingly and open the door to a bigger potential audience? Or, do you go all in, amplify it, and secure yourself a perhaps smaller but more die-hard clientele? It would seem Sialelli has chosen the latter.
“Most of the dresses we sold lately were the strongest ones, like Bella [Hadid]’s Lurex dress from the campaign,” Sialelli explained during a collection preview in his Paris showroom. “Most of the customers that come to us are coming to get supported by glamorous, fabulous products. They search for an elevated and more confident version of themselves.” Those facts encouraged him to push the envelope further.
If it sounds like a jarring mix, it was. High-octane glamour has always walked a fine line between good taste and bad, and the collection’s clash between Batman-adorned metallic gazar dresses, so shiny they looked wet, and tinselled skirt suits was subversive to say the least. Talking about his vision for the collection, Sialelli referenced the way animated worlds freely mix styles and cultures.
In this case, the broad-shouldered silhouette of the Batman universe drew a Tamara de Lempicka–esque line, which made Sialelli’s Lanvin man feel a little more mature. That feeling was echoed in two beautifully cut trench coats, which hung off the body almost like evening dresses. If Naomi Campbell has her own Bat-Signal lighting up the skies, someone summoned her last night: The supermodel closed the show, wafting through the Salle Pleyel in billowing black chiffon like the Caped Crusader.
