Elbaz took a masculine approach to his SS13 collection incorporating inspiration from the ‘Le Smoking’ jacket 80s structured shoulders, and adding a flair of Japanese influence. The Lanvin SS13 collection contained classic tuxedo-focused silhouettes mixed with a modern aesthetic allowing for a contemporary take on the classic Lanvin dress.
