Lanvin Has Landed.

Well, I am happy to report that my tailor did a fabulous job nipping in the waist and shortening the sleeves of my Lanvin jacket. I desperately try to avoid clothing or accessories I deem "trendy". While this jacket has very strong lines and details, I feel that Lucas Ossendrijver is operating outside the limits of "trend" and creating something unique that will survive several seasons. In fact the only thing about this jacket that will truly date, is the extremely short body. But, every once in a while, I simply can't resist a "strong" fashion piece. Remarkably, despite all the details, it is incredibly lightweight. It feels as if you are wearing a windbreaker. Albeit one with peaked lapels, grosgrain trim, real horn buttons, gorgeous pin-striped wool fabric, ruched seams and a gossamer lining. I think the rain has finally subsided and I can wear this gem today.

You should be furious.. that blazer has been mangled. Did you noticed the center back seam and the darts in the front? They're wrinkled like a scrunchie in DJ Tanners hair.
