Bouchra Jarrar’s new Fall collection for Lanvin had force, but also was very delicate. The French fashion house tackled the power of elegance by generating a range that made all customers want to buy something right away.
The very French artistic designer debuted her sophomore collection on a wooden floor runway, sending out a few noteworthy themes, like lace blouses and dresses with ruffle and frill details, some quite lovely pleated dresses, a jet black patent leather suit, and airy draped slip gowns. Jarrar used a dense mix of fabrics and textures focusing on a tailored, natural-waist silhouette shown with the full long skirts and a-line sweater dress.
Jarrar evened out this feminine range with androgynous silhouettes, taking the extra mile to feature looks based on soft dresses, tailored pants and motor jackets. The collection was fully saturated with Jarrar’s identifiable design skills, taking inspiration from exotic birds of paradise and swans displayed on accessories like brooches and belts, and on prints.
Models beauty looks were simple and pretty; and flowed beautifully onto the runway in solid colours of black, powder pink and white, wearing python ankle boots paired with fishnets for a rough touch. It all felt dreamy, modern and practical.
