LANVIN
Lanvin is Paris’ oldest fashion house, founded in 1889 at 22, Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré by 22-year-old Jeanne Lanvin. Marguerite, known as the gifted opera singer Marie-Blanche de Polignac, assumed charge of Lanvin on news of her mother’s death in 1946, remaining at Lanvin until her death in 1958. The golden figure on Arpège’s perfume bottle depicts Jeanne and Marguerite attending a ball. It stands a symbol of maternal love, becoming the House of Lanvin logo 1954. Lanvin became known for mother-daughter outfits. Since 1993, it has focused on luxury ready-to-wear, accessories and perfumes like Eclat D'arpege, L’homee, Vetyver, Oxygene and Rumeur.
