History of Fashion: Jeanne Lanvin

Lanvin, the eldest of 11 siblings, started working for 13 years as a girl of errands, then became a seamstress and dressmaker finally. For 18 years opened a hat itself. In 1895 he married an Italian nobleman, Emilio di Pietro, but his marriage broke up eight years later, when her daughter Marguerite had six.

Love made his little Lanvin started designing delicate dresses in bright colors, which is dramatically opposed to simple models of clothing for adults who were children at the time. Thus, while designing his first collection of children, placed the first stone of his fashion house.

Shortly afterwards created a line for young girls and another for women, becoming the first designer to take into account the different age groups.

Introduced a new fashion item: the youth, because their patterns simple and innocent and bright colors give the women of any age look feminine and romantic. His clothes have ankle tissue vaporous history of fashion and style robes.

Was launched in 1926 to design fashion for men, so they could dress in your living room the whole family. Over a century later, his room is still owned by the heirs of the founder.
