RUNWAY: Lanvin SS14

Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz of Lanvin create such confections for the the house's men's label that it's a treat to see what the two come up with every season. Like many designers for Spring/Summer 2014 it was a fight to see what silhouette would win out, slim and body hugging or voluminous and fluid. At Lanvin, both received equal treatment. Mini shorts with jackets or a technical tanktop are sure to be a dandy's favorite outfit next year while a trench coat in a glossy finish was hard-edged and futuristic. Though we would have preferred a much more concrete vision for the Lanvin man, the options offered were numerous and sure to appease a greater range of men.
