The Vibe for Fall 2010: Alber Elbaz and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver are up to some new tricks with a collection that walks an equal line between the rough and the refined gentleman. True to course, coats have signature laser-cut seams and are made of boiled wool mixed with silk and techno fabrics. If you were casting for a new sequel of The Matrix, you'd want your stars to don these mashed-up layers, complete with zip-off-sleeved leather jackets, drop-shouldered outerwear, severe slicked hair, and the perfect trench, shown with skinny trousers tucked inside storm-trooper boots. Finish the look with a galactic-size knapsack and you're ready to hit the streets of a new world.
Backstory
Designers: Alber Elbaz, Lucas Ossendrijver
Owned By: Private
Founded: 1889, Paris
History: Jeanne Lanvin made hats, womenswear, children's clothing, and fragrance for 37 years before offering a proper menswear collection—the first couturier to do so—in 1926. After her death in 1946, ownership of the company passed between various relatives and financial conglomerates before it was bought by a Taiwanese firm in 2001. Alber Elbaz was appointed creative director, which jump-started the label's remarkable resurgence. Though overseen by Elbaz, Lanvin's menswear is chiefly designed by Lucas Ossendrijver, whose mastery of technique and love of luxury (and sporty footwear) have helped restore the label to prominence.
