LANVIN Men's RTW F/W 2010 Cardigan & Two-Button jacket

I've mentioned before here, on one my favorite blogs written by a good friend, that Lanvin, (arguably like Dolce&Gabbana), benefits from the collective arrangement of having two geniuses at its creative helm: Alber Elbaz for the women's collection; and, Lucas Ossendrijver for the men's.  Lanvin embodies a unique design aesthetic that I currently find to be incredibly intriguing in high end menswear at the moment: a deconstructed, simple, and modern take on traditional pieces.  My two newest acquisitions (in my favorite color) fully embody this refinement and will make quietly sophisticated and confident sartorial statements for years to come.

The Two-Button jacket includes some exquisite detailing, apparent both up close and from a distance.  The deconstruction along the shoulders and the sleeves paired with the contrasting charcoal nylon ribbon taping along the edges of the lapels, pockets, and cuffs make this piece, to the discerning eye, recognizably Lanvin.


This impeccably-tailored cardigan includes subtle detailing around the buttons and the V, as well as muted deconstructed hems along the shoulders that creates strong lines across the top of the back akin to the look of mini epaulets.
