Alber Elbaz's Lancin Pre-Fall 2010 Collection is Cougar Friendly

— January 12, 2010 — Fashion
Bursting with leopard print, the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2010 collection was unveiled in New York this week. Designer Alber Elbaz, who normally shows his Lanvin collections in Paris, trekked it state-side to give US editors and retailers a little taste of what will be in for fall this year.

Elbaz wanted the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2010 collection to stand out. The abundant use of fur and leopard print was meant to counter boring, grey standard daytime outfits.
