Sarah Rafferty Instagram – Thank you for having me @lanvinofficial, for inviting me to visit your archives and to spend time in Jeanne Lavin’s original studio. Such a pleasure to be in her space, peruse her drawings, her fabric collection, and hear how she was inspired to begin her career when she became a mother in 1889. She started by designing for her daughter and grew her business into an empire. As the female trailblazer behind the third oldest Parisian fashion house, she changed the way women looked at fashion and at themselves. The celebration of her motherhood significantly informed her artistry and her professional affairs, and it became the logo that endures today. Swipe to see more from the #Lanvin archives.
