Brand intelligence
Lanvin
Lanvin is the Paris couture house founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889 and the flagship brand of Lanvin Group. Its history reaches from Jeanne Lanvin’s mother-and-daughter clothing business to couture, fragrance, interiors and a visual language associated with colour, ornament and the robe de style. Peter Copping became Artistic Director in September 2024, with responsibility for both womenswear and menswear, following the distinct leadership periods of Alber Elbaz, Bouchra Jarrar, Olivier Lapidus and Bruno Sialelli. This page uses that dated succession rather than treating the house’s history as a single uninterrupted creative role. Lanvin Group’s listed-company financial disclosures cover a portfolio and are never labelled as Lanvin-only data unless the group expressly attributes a number to the brand.
