Lanvin Resort 2013 Collection Structured, Pleated, Shiny

As I tried to resume Alber Elbaz’ Lanvin Resort 2012 Collection, I realized it is fairly hard to do it with just two – three words. I require a phrase. I need to have an entire column to contain Alber’s Resort inspiration.

Pleats, structured shoulders and skirts, it’s an unforgiving geometry ruling Lanvin’s collection. The tinfoil outfits (which you’ll see proper after the jump) boost the luxury feeling of the styles, that, despite the fact that not exceedingly colorful or eccentric, enables the wearer to make a noble sartorial statement. (I do have a weakness for pleated and draped dresses, you know that! you can see the entire collection right here)
