Changes in Lanvin’s Creative Department

Just four days after separating from Bouchra Jarrar, the French fashion house of Jeanne Lanvin appoints Olivier Lapidus as the new Creative Director. He embarked on his new role immediately.
The first collection of the Paris-born designer is due to be shown as early as in September during the Paris ready-to-wear shows.
Besides his new role at chez Lavin, Lapidus will continue working on his own recently launched line, Création Olivier Lapidus, which launched this past haute couture season in Paris. He previously was at Balmain Homme before joining Maison Lapidus.
Lanvin has had a 23% fall in revenue since 2016 and hopes it can reignite the spirits former 14 year long creative director Alber Elbaz gave the brand, who left it following disagreements with its owner. Rumours have it, Lapidus wants to develop Lanvin into a French lifestyle brand, although these have not been substantiated.
