Rendezvous: A Night of Seduction

Angels In Hell: Alber Elbaz and his highly acclaimed collection

No Author — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:09:00 EST

�Incredible, sensational, sultry, edgy, exciting�. Adjectives and accolades that tumbled from the open-mouthed �fortunate ones� sitting in the front rows of the Parisian runway when the 2012 Spring ready to wear collection from the house of Lanvin was unveiled. Reportedly lead designer; Alber Elbaz sought his inspiration from the heavens above and Dante�s burning inferno far, far below. His highly acclaimed 'Angels in Hell' collection is made up of opposing elements; that in the hands of this genius and powerhouse of talent, work incredibly well. Elbaz has combined hard and soft textiles, joining sleek, minimalist silhouettes and metal and leather accents with soft, flowing fabrics to create a look that, according to Fashion Etc., can be described as �angelically elegant and demonically chic.� This exciting detour from the normally well-behaved, perfectly polished aesthetic enjoyed in Lanvin�s past collections, shakes things up rather nicely, giving us more than a hint of dark attitude, gads of architectural tailoring, sublime detailing, and a good measure of plain and simple sexiness. A dark, sultry wantonness courses through the veins of the entire collection that give the pieces a raw energy and a sense of urgency and spontaneity. An exposed arm defines the sexy appeal to a romantic blouson, drapey silken trousers are ventilated by slashed seams, hip hugging jet pencil skirts are rucked up and peek-a-boo gashed, and �nothing to hide� vulnerably sheer goddess dresses are cinched, twisted and draped over second-skin bodysuits.
