Some of the stuff i did at Lanvin

Here are some pics of some of the garments i worked on at Lanvin. They didn’t all parade unfortunately, how they pick the garments for the catwalk i dont know…

The first dress was made about 10 times before it became what it is on the picture. It started out being 5 metres long, then a little shorter, and a little more until when doing the rehearsal for the catwalk Albert decided to chop it all off. Dress n°2 was a real delight to make, there’s a lot going on underneath that grrovy collar. N°3 i didn’t like so much, technically it was really interesting and challenging but i find the result quite disappointing, it was made in another lighter crêpe that looked much better, don’t know why they picked that awful granny grey. N°4 was also quite cool, it has 6 shoulder pads on each side, freaky. But this only works with really thick natural fabrics like here, 100% wool. There was another coat on the same theme but you can tell the seamstress didn’t manage to smooth out all the ease. N°5 was kind of piss easy, the pattern is just one piece, and look how great it looks. N°6, well this one i didn’t actually work on, but i love it so much i just had to put it up, plus it made an even number of pics to put up ;)
