Summer is Coming and Lanvin Knows It. Lanvin Resort 2013

Lanvin's latest collection It was not exactly a surprise but a breath of summer, the desire of sea that suddenly catches you just when you do not have time to go because fully occupied with a thousand things to do.
 Alber Elbaz succeded as always to fully reflect the standards of what is the Resort, with capital R.
Let's start with what should be the perfect scenario: a seaport with those typically sea-houses, all colored with orange tones, flesh pink, yellow, beige, all this, however, with a special atmosphere, the post-sunset light, when the sun is declining. You may wonder: isn't it a too romantic atmosphere?
 No, it is not.
 The great thing is that Alber Elbaz has managed, as always, to create something very contemporary that reflects and incorporates the basic canons of Lanvin's maison. 
The factor of romantic then it's pretty relative.
 Another key element of the collection are the stripes, the typical white and black Débardeur , in this case also in shades of red, and the swimsuits. 
One element that in this collection immediately attracted my attention was the African Hippy Dashiki Shirt, this even more of the other pieces in the collection suggests the heterogeneity of the brand and its ability to change and update their repertoires.
 A very interesting aspect is given by the use of metallic materials for trench complete or whole suits, the use of this fabric reminds me of the woman lying in the sun takes its piece of aluminum foil to get a tan, but also inspiration for accessories, such as colored visor.
Summer is coming and no one but Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, was able to tell us more about this and give us even more desire for a well deserved vacation.
