Lanvin Alber Elbaz F/W 2013 Leopard Fur & Taffeta Belted Trench Coat

Moroccan-born designer Alber Elbaz is remembered as much for his love of people as he is for his astounding talent and creative philosophy. Credited with revitalizing the French fashion house of Lanvin where he served as creative director for fourteen years, he preferred to think of himself as a storyteller, working with “intuition, instinct, and joy.”
Referring to himself as “just Alber” the designer explained that one of his intentions with fashion was “to elevate people, to make them dream."

Alber Elbaz was an architect in fashion. His meticulous crafting of angular shapes and use of texture modernized the traditional Lanvin look to a 21st-century woman’s standards.
The 2013 Lanvin Winter collection featured dark shades of black, grey, and beiges in silky fabrics accented by irregular lines and the occasional fur.
From this collection, a striking fur paneled and taffeta belted coat. Side slit pockets, stand collar, and metal snap closures.

In excellent pre-owned condition, this coat has been cleansed with obsidian and sage to ensure that you are welcoming a bright new energy into your home and has also been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and yourself.
