Awash in royal blue, Lanvin’s showspace projected a house onto the back wall of Pavillon Gabriel, inviting guests to take a seat in Peter Copping’s evolving world. Continuing the vision established by the designer in his debut show back in January, the collection drew inspiration from the brand’s archive, honouring its legacy as the oldest continually operating Parisian couture house.

Transforming the wardrobe of Jeanne Lanvin for the modern wearer, Copping reimagined archive prints across silk dresses and flowing outerwear. Jackets arrived deconstructed, turning the process of tailoring outward to highlight the intricacy of the brand’s craft, as grosgrain ribbon traditionally used to anchor the structure of couture pieces unravelled at the hems. Accessories were given an overhaul, with shoes for men and women elongated to a piercing point alongside a new iteration of the house’s Compagnon handbag. The soundtrack was a highlight, curating an eclectic mix of OSLO’s Golden Boiled and Delphi’s Blue Tuesday, closing with a poignant, operatic rendition of La Wally by Vladimir Cosma, Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez and London Symphony Orchestra.
