Newly elected Academic Alain-Charles Perrot, chief architect of Historical Monuments, entrusted Lanvin with the creation of his \u201cImmortel\u201d outfit. This year the brand had the occasion to retie their old bonds with a tradition that dates back 113 years: the creation of custom-made suits for the \u201cImmortels\u201d – known in France as the \u201cHabit Vert\u201d. Indeed, in 1901 already, before the creation of their children\u2019s wear department, Jeanne Lanvin was already dressing her first Academic: illustrious dramatist Edmond Rostand. Others would soon follow: Paul Val\u00e9ry, Andr\u00e9 Maurois, Georges Duhamel, Jean Cocteau… Numerous are those to have had their \u201cHabit Vert\u201d created: the suit, like the sword, is shared by members of the Institut de France. Made of a dark blue or black piece of fabric, embroidered with gold or green (\u201cvert\u201d in French) olive branches, from whence it takes its name.<\/p>\n
This is how Lanvin custom-made works: in the workshops of 15 Faubourg Saint Honor\u00e9 in Paris, the creation of the precious garment requires a quantity of work that\u2019s at the height of extraordinary. While the jacket and pants take 80 hours of work, and the shirt 12 hours, the olive branch embroideries, coincidentally designed by Monsieur Perrot himself, took close to 600 hours. And so Lanvin finds themselves designing Alain-Charles Perrot\u2019s \u201cHabit Vert\u201d, through six months of meticulous work and four fittings. Custom-made Lanvin is a true feat of handmade magic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
