After a period of absence from the fashion calendar, the storied French fashion house, Lanvin, is poised to make a triumphant return to the Paris Menswear Week. The highly anticipated event will mark the debut collection of Peter Copping, the newly appointed artistic director.
Copping, a seasoned designer with a distinguished career at labels such as Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga, and Nina Ricci, brings a wealth of experience to Lanvin. His appointment in June 2023 followed an extensive search by the brand’s Chinese parent company.
Lanvin, the world’s oldest continuously operating couture house, has faced challenges in recent years in establishing a strong foothold in the contemporary fashion market. The upcoming runway presentation, described as an “intimate runway show,” will feature both women’s and men’s ready-to-wear collections for the Fall/Winter 2025 season.
Industry experts suggest that the strategic timing of the January presentation aligns with Lanvin’s desire to showcase its new vision without the competitive noise of other major fashion houses. By participating in Paris Menswear Week, Lanvin can capture the attention of the fashion world and introduce its refreshed aesthetic to a global audience.
As the fashion industry eagerly awaits the unveiling of Copping’s debut collection, hopes are high that his creative vision will revitalise Lanvin and position the iconic brand for future success.
