Introducing Lanvin to a new packaging that features a "forget-me-not" blue. 2. He also produced shopping bags, for Lanvin, imprinted with Paul Iribe's 1907 illustration of Lanvin and her daughter Marguerite. He also designed the shoe boxes like antique library files, tied with black ribbons. 3. Elbaz illustrated the song cover of Mika's, "Lady Jane." This year he is releasing a book about the creative process at Lanvin, featuring previous Lanvin collections, with some helpful tips on how to achieve success. [Photo via] [Photos via]
