Lanvin, 2007- finally mine.

Lanvin 07 collection, shoulders based on original sketches from Jeanne Lanvin. Just bought it after a very long search! Styled by Camilla Nickerson and photographed by Michael Thompson.


As a vintage fashion dealer, I am always looking for tomorrow's vintage, I think pieces by Alber Elbaz are not only beautiful but the new collectible. Here it is again, in Vogue.

Annette and Phoebe Stephens, sisters and designers of the beautiful jewelry they are wearing, so pleased to carry a selection at AP shop this season- Thanks Phoebe and Annette!
Will carry the cage choker, as seen on Annette in the first two photos- images by Tim Hout via Dossier.
Love the over sized pieces that look like sculptures, much like each piece, an individual work of art.
Will carry this bangle, very limited quantities!
