Inside The Historic Office Of Couturier Jeanne Lanvin
Jeanne Lanvin died in 1946 but her atelier office is frozen in time and coming back to life on social media
In honor of the 125th anniversary of Lanvin, the storied French fashion house is taking us into its founder Jeanne Lanvin's Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré salon. Perched atop Lanvin's Paris flagship, Madame Lanvin's office, where she worked up until her death at the age of 79, is exactly how she left it 68 years ago. We've marvelled at Coco Chanel's Paris apartment in publications many times and the privileged have had the opportunity to tour it in person, but Madame Jeanne's work space, still dressed in it's 1930s-esque decor, is a wonder equally intact but far less explored. In celebration of the house's big birthday and in preperation for an exhibit at the Palais Galliera in 2015, we are soaking up its storied history via the brand's social media channels.
