The Lanvin Resort 2025 collection focuses on daywear reflecign Art-Deco prints throughout.

Dance-inspired cape dresses like a black number torqued and draped at the back hem, another that managed to fuse flou and body-con, and a sage green draped number that looked on-point without giving much away. An embellished silk cady dress dotted with silver starbursts of “Traviata” embroidery picked up on a house motif from the 1920s.

The “spirit of flou” took shape for example in a lightweight, graceful pantsuit in wool with a drawstring-waisted jacket and deep-cuffed trousers, paired with a crisp leather bucket bag with a swingy, jewel-like keychain. For men, flou might mean a deconstructed jacket. A couple of linen bombers, one with a cocoon shape, looked strong, as did a polo-style “not-sweatshirt.” Trenches in particular looked well-cut, and this season came in double-face salt and pepper cotton-wool mouliné. Very wisely, the brand has foregone conspicuous branding in favor of a squared signifier, variously at the end of a drawstring, on a back belt loop, and elsewhere.

The collection still exposes a “radical” chic that never comes without a dash of daring and a little sass.
