The Lanvin SS2022 collection was created in partnership with DC Comics and the collection prominently spotlights Batman and Catwoman. The latest high-fashion collection from the multinational house includes clothing pieces, accessories and footwear adorned with graphics and artwork that depict the DC characters.
Inspired by the way its customers want to feel elevated and glamorous, Lanvin created a collection that feels "bold and joyful and free and unapologetic," as described by Bruno Sialelli. In the Spring/Summer 2022 Lanvin collection, motifs from 1940s Batman comics are joined by pop art flower prints, metallic schemes and other playful seemingly juxtaposed elements.
Standouts from the collection include sparkling silver slip dresses, small box bags and technical form-fitting dresses.
