Lanvin

If you know about the decadence that is Lanvin then treat yourself with a visit to this store. With the men’s and women’s across the street from one another, it is truly a gem in the high end French lines. The staff was amazing, but not overbearing. I was able to look at shoes on the second floor without an associate hounding me. The merchandise is amazing. Truly classic without the crowds at Chanel or LV. The flats come out to be about $ 100 cheaper with VAT back than in the US. A must go.

I came here again while in Paris and it was, just as before, a wonderful experience. I am a huge fan of Lanvin’s shoes, especially the ballet flats. The gentlemen who assisted me was very helpful as he brought out the various ballet flats, heels and wedges that drew my eye and gave great feedback and attention. I was in love with several pairs of shoes and was able to pick a pair I’d admired for quite some time with his help. Needless to say I walked out looking forward to wearing my new purchase and shopping at the Lanvin boutique again. Go here if you’re looking for a great selection of Lanvin clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories.

If I had all the money in the world, I would spend a shocking amount of it on shoes, clothes, bags, shoes, and shoes from Lanvin. I’ve been to this flagship twice and it’s one of the most breathtaking stores I’ve ever seen.
The space is larger than it looks on entry, as there are a few floors loaded with goods. The décor is subdued and the store is probably not worth a visit if you’re a tourist uninterested in the brand. The service is good and the place is well staffed.
There are few Lanvin boutiques in the world, and as this is the only one I’ve seen, I find it pretty damn special. Everything in it is Lanvin and therefore gorgeous and also shockingly expensive. I get kind of shy even touching the clothes. The shoes are my biggest luxury shopping vice. I adore Lanvin flats and have amassed a few pairs over the years, gifts from my mother bought in Paris where they are marginally cheaper. The shoes are adorable and incredibly easy on the feet. I also love the beautiful heels — less practical, but so stunning. This boutique has an entire wall with individual shoes on display in little box-​shaped shelves. There is also a table devoted to every color of ballerina flat shaped in a tantalizing ring.
I doubt that I’ll ever have the kind of money it takes to enter this store and go on a spree, but it’s worth visiting just for the eye candy. It’s on Rue du Faubourg Saint-​Honoré, which is full of top-​of-​the-​line luxury shops, and while the whole stretch is worth a good walk-​through, Lanvin is my favorite stop.

I had longed to come to this flagship store and I am finally here. It had 100x the Lanvins I have ever come across, one gets rather crossed eyed. It’s worth a visit purely for the experience. The women’s store is cross the road from the men’s and there’s a sales part on the basement of the men’s store — where you would pick up — um… not exactly bargains? 30% off… I love this store — it has classic old French interior fitting

Lanvin, c’est très cher, mais c’est très beau. Des robes froissées, des volumes, des zips, et des drapés magnifiques, d’une fraîcheur et d’une féminité incomparable. Alber Elbaz a vraiment su réveiller la maison qui dormait dans un profond sommeil, lui donner un style personnel et confidentiel.
La boutique est à l’image du travail du créateur: surprenante et attirante. Les vitrines valent le détour à chaque fois. Les mannequins sont mis en situation, avec beaucoup d’accessoires inattendus. Ces vitrines sont au moins aussi fascinantes que les vitrines de Noël du mois de décembre. Et en plus, elles durent toute l’année.

Plus que la marque Lanvin par elle meme, c’est avant tout le travail d’Alber Elbar que j’admire. Il a su des ses debuts dans cette grande maison, parvenir a trouver le bon mélange entre le rationnel d’un vetement portable et l’imaginaire de la creation. Il a su allier la subtilité à l’audace, pour revisiter la féminité douce et poétique, et les graphismes art déco chers à Jeanne Lanvin. Son style est a la fois simple et complexe car il nait des antagonismes –que lui imposent la mode et ses desirs– et de leur resolution. Sa volonte: faire rever et fantasmer les femmes pour rendre le vetement unique a leurs yeux.
Il aime l’elegance, a condition qu’elle soit teintee d’optimisme.
En sachant imposer un style, un chic, empreints tout à la fois d’un charme aussi irrésistible que discret, d’une élégance naturelle, et d’une grande modernité… En bref, Alber Elbaz si discret dans la vie, a su conquerir le reve des femmes et les louange de la presse.
