Bridal shoes that don't suck by Harriet Wilde

Designer Profile: Lanvin

• The fashion house Lanvin was started by Jeanne Lanvin, born 1867, when she handmade school clothing for her daughter, Marguerite di Pietro, that brought wealthy citizens to her door asking for copies.


• Lanvin's financial and artistic management has changed hands many times since its creator's death in 1946, much of the time being traded publicly amongst French fashion industry giants such as Vuitton and L?Oreal, but was re-privatized in 2001.


• In 2001, the job of Creative Director was given to relatively unknown Israeli designer, Alber Elbaz, who quickly earned himself industry adoration and, in 2007, was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World.


• Elbaz work for Lanvin masterfully balances femininity and sophistication, creating beautifully detailed frocks that exude elegance. His work is also known for its innovatie use of fabrics and technical excellence.


• Lanvin launched a menswear line in 2006, helmed by Lucas Ossendrijver, focusing on a modern, yet classic male wardrobe.

Soup & Fish

Soup & Fish has a dual purpose. One is to promote and advance Austrian design. The other is to give people access to high-end fashion design at affordable prices. On both initiatives, the shop is doing a superlative job.

The shop's virtual shelves are kept stocked with pieces from nearly every Austrian designer doing significant work today, with some Belgian and other European designers thrown in for good measure. But rather than offer their latest designs at typically high prices, the shop serves as a saleable archive of sorts, offering dozens of pieces from season past, as far as 10 years back. Each item is available in one or a handful of sizes and is marked with the season it came from. More than just a glimpse back to designers' earlier years, the collection speaks to the timelessness of good design. Almost any one of these items could be mistaken for work from a current season.
