Lanvin Resort 2011: Practicality Meets Glamor

Lanvin's Resort 2011 collection showcased an original intertwining of glamor and practicality. While an abundance of fine detailing adorned floor-length dresses, structured separates showed another side to this designer's versatile aesthetic.

With an outfit for every mood, Alber Elbaz created everything from extravagant evening wear to funky street styles,to business wear set for the board room. This line was said to reference not only a woman's need for staple pieces, but was also a source to quench their fashion desires. Bathing suits, shorts, T's, and dresses of all kinds did just that, all with Alber Elbaz's expert touch of cutting edge originality.

With a color palette ranging from subdued neutrals to luscious deep tones, and silhouettes set for every occasion, Lanvin's collection indeed sparked desire, while reworking basics and creating a line most noteworthy.
