Lanvin Spring 2012

A man in uniform is always a hero.

This was the thought behind Lanvin's newest collection, which was set in a beautiful Colosseum-like venue, to the music of the Dark Knight. Security Guards, Military men, and Superheroes were all represented as every look seemed to be distinctly different from each other, the only thing that was linear was this hero theme that carried over to a more manly man, something Lanvin hasn't visited in many years.

The hair was eccentric, sort of a pumpkin cut, and the models walked fast and with energy, as any hero would. Everything was experimental, nothing was what you would normally see, as all clothes were either tightly fitted or loosely fitted. The coats were of a long length typically, and the messenger bags were abnormally small. I loved the big clutches, a thin and sleek bag made out of black crock material that could hold a lot. The loose pants were tucked into boots and the short shorts were great when paired with a coat. Many of the jackets and shirts had a dropped shoulder and the ties were tucked into shirts, a trend I've never really cared for.
My favorite brand, Lanvin has inspired me again, as it always does.
At the end a series of tight hippie-like pants were featured, something different, which I loved. Apparently they were patched together uniforms, and were something I have not seen all throughout fashion week.
