Whos's that LAY-DAY?
(Don't you love that commercial!?!)
Why, she's the happy lady who lives at Lanvin!
It's always fun, albeit sometimes slightly ridiculous, to watch an old 20th-century fashion house take off again as
the newest, most important place on earth.
I stopped by Lanvin's shop on rue Boissy d'Anglas during my recent trip to Paris....
I admit I would have liked to have this fuschia "flower" brooch.
(People used to talk about "The Blue Box" in terms of Tiffany; now it refers to Lanvin.)
...and God knows I wanted some of those ballet slippers...
"Oh, how life is grand when you wear Lanvin and nothing but!!"
Lanvin Apartments Musée des Arts Décoratifs
Armand-Albert Rateau decorated this apartment for Jeanne Lanvin at 16, rue Barbet-de-Jouy, Paris, 1920-22.
Armand-Albert Rateau decorated this apartment for Jeanne Lanvin at 16, rue Barbet-de-Jouy, Paris, 1920-22.
When the building was scheduled for demolition in 1965, the interiors were removed - piece by piece - and reinstalled in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
The "Lanvin Blue" comes from a 'Forget-me-not'-flower color, Lanvin's favorite shade which she purportedly saw in a Fra Angelico fresco.
The apartments include
Lanvin's Bedroom, Sitting Room and Bath.
All of the spaces are made up of the most magnificent details.

Now, how did I miss the LANVIN CHOCOLATES?!?
