The Lanvin Spring 2013 Men’s Shoe Collection unveils a new concept for menswear. The menswear shoe collection resembles much of a womenswear appeal. The line features a series of iridescent footwear, very much inspired by Acne’s Spring 2012 womenswear collection.
The shiny iridescent shoes all feature mini platforms for an updated look. Straying farther away from the traditional ideology of Lanvin, the menswear collection features a high-top sneaker made from textured wools. Each shoe is comprised of luxury fabrics and encompasses the high/low theory of dress. From high-end toting shoes to low-end casual sandals, the Lanvin line is ready to outfit any man for any occasion. From a stunning perforated design to luxurious python lace-ups the Lanvin Spring 2013 Men’s Shoe Collection is extravagant.
