Of course, when you need to replace a disgraced, drunkenly anti-Semitic designer with a more PG creative genius, Lanvin‘s supremely lovable Alber Elbaz is the obvious choice (why Dior hasn’t wrapped its head around this principle yet, I don’t know).
Lanvin’s main man is getting busy designing “an installation that carries the spirit of Lanvin, an infusion of tradition and modernity at the same time.” He’ll be fashioning the tree with marionettes dressed in Elbaz-designed versions of the hotel’s staff uniforms. Sounds cute.
Lanvin’s Christmas tree will be on display from November 22 to January 2.
