A wonderfully graphic vintage Lanvin dress in an electric combination of black, hot pink and vivid green, cut in a flattering knee-length silhouette that feels equally suited to city summers and holidays abroad. The abstract geometric print, punctuated with small white motifs, gives the piece a distinctly late 60s/70s mood, while the clean short sleeves and button-front detailing keep it wearable and modern.
The fabric has a structured, sturdy feel which suggests cotton, helping the dress hold its shape beautifully through the bodice and softly gathered skirt. The deep V neckline and fitted waist create a very elegant line on the body, while the contrasting black placket and border print at the hem add definition and balance to the bold print. It would make an incredibly chic sun dress worn simply with flat leather sandals and oversized sunglasses, but could just as easily be styled with a black blazer and boots for transitional dressing.
A rare and striking vintage Lanvin piece that feels joyful, collectible and genuinely wearable.
