It is Steven Meisel who Lanvin chose to entrust the staging of Beyond. The New York artist is in the midst of an opportunity to explore the different facets of the Lanvin woman. Thus, the British model Eddie Campbell posing in high tables colors, dramatically reveals the prism the Beyond bag, a jewel of rigid leather permeates all the fantasies of the woman who grabs it.
But the Beyond is nothing other than a contemporary rehabilitation of the Lanvin pouch from the 50s. Appearing to be synonymous with updating the codes, it is, in reality, the search for modernity, as Jeanne Lanvin always wanted. This is why it comes to the design of support not one but three women in their diurnal, crepuscular activities or under the auspices of the lunar orb.
Archetype of the modern bag with handles, two compartments and detachable shoulder strap, the model Le Jour provides a style anchored in time to the active woman who wants to wear a leather jewel. The cocktail bag called Le Soir surprises women with an Art Deco jewelry clasp that with splendor is associated with the stiffness of leather. The collection ends with the Night, here, the Beyond turns into a clutch bag decorated with a cabochon clasp.
Alber Elbaz pursues his goal at Lanvin: to dress women, all women, in all circumstances. From the working girl to the nightbird, the Beyond becomes a delicate archetype, the standard shifter, a prodigy charged with emotions.
