After a two-year hiatus, Lanvin is returning to Paris Fashion Week.
The timing ahead of couture week, which will take place from 27 to 30 January is strategic.

Could it return to couture one day?
Its in the language of the house, Shukla says.
Its not out of the question, but were not there right now.
Peter Copping.
It will also include an important offering of a new accessories line in terms of bags and shoes.
The designer will bring his talent for feminine and elegant creations.
After that, Copping served as head of VIP and special projects at Balenciaga.
It will be the first time youll see a fully elaborated world of menswear from him, Shukla notes.
The executive sees an opportunity in the current context.
What does todays customer want?
Maybe they actually want something that feels confidential again.
There is something about rediscovering an attitude of French elegance.
As Jeanne Lanvin used to say herself, its a return tolechic ultime, the ultimate chic.
Its not about maximalism, as some houses today might be coming back to.
I think this is going to feel novel.
