THE FASHIONHOUSE LANVIN

Lanvin is one of the oldest and most prestigious fashion houses in Paris.
The founder, Jeanne Lanvin was one of the most influential fashion creators in the 1920s and 30s.

The History about Jeanne-Marie Lanvin (1867-1946) is like a French fairytale. Like Coco Chanel, she became an apprentice as 16 year old, to be a Millinary and later on as a Tailor.
