The story of Lanvin began in 1889 when Jeanne Lanvin opened her first hat shop in the heart of Paris. After her daughter's birth, Jeanne would use luxurious fabrics to design her daughter the wardrobe of every little girl’s dreams. Lanvin is known for its signature unfitted, chemise-style flapper dress which served as a cornerstone for the style of this brand. Today, Lanvin produces ready-to-wear clothing and accessories for men and women.
