Lanvin, the oldest operational French fashion house, was founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, who started her career as a milliner before expanding into clothing. Her intricate embroidery, lavish fabrics, and impeccable craftsmanship quickly gained her recognition among the Parisian elite. While best known for its "robe de style" dresses and iconic Arpege perfume launched in 1927, Lanvin has continued to innovate and adapt to contemporary style under different creative directors. The house's ability to marry its storied heritage with modern tastes is a testament to its enduring appeal. Lanvin has also embraced the world of collaborations, most notably launching highly popular collections with contemporary pinstriped Gunn as SUICOKE and GALLERY DEPT.
