Luxury French fashion label Lanvin has unveiled 'Poetry in Motion,' the brand's latest menswear collection that draws inspiration from the "urban adventurers" populating California's skate scene.
The new capsule was designed by Lanvin creative director Bruno Sialelli who sought to channel the carefree vibe captured in Hugh Holland's 70s skate photography. As a result, the 'Poetry in Motion' capsule boasts a range of loose and breezy styles with hints of Lanvin's high-fashion design codes.
The collection includes classic skater pieces such as loose flannels, skate slacks, and bucket hats, all of which have been elevated by premium materials like merino wool and silk. A standout item is the Lanvin Curb, a chunky, chevron-laced sneaker that perfectly blends urban skate design with high-end fashion stylings.
