Lanvin SP09

Albert Elbaz turned the volume up at Maison de Lanvin literally. Playing with shape and abounding fabric, he managed to take one of last season's trend's in a very new direction. This season's take on what we thought he had already mastered (i.e. Fall08's editorial fave green grecian finale gown), Elbaz made volume for everyday. In light chiffons and silks, draped like dollops of meringue perched just perfectly, Elbaz made shapely look divine. I also loved what Albert's take on another favorite trend from last season, sequins. His finale look above, shows the new direction the trend has taken. The look was like the perfect finishing sprinkle to Elbaz's sweet dream of a show.
