A visually stunning tribute to Jeanne Lanvin — the woman who shaped modern couture.
Jeanne Lanvin – Fashion Pioneer is a breathtaking coffee table book celebrating one of the most influential figures in fashion history. Known as the world’s longest-running couture house, Lanvin’s legacy continues to inspire designers and fashion lovers alike.
This exclusive German-language edition is the only coffee table book available about Jeanne Lanvin, making it a true collector’s piece for admirers of haute couture, Art Deco, and female pioneers.
Born into modest circumstances, Jeanne Lanvin rose to become a visionary designer and groundbreaking entrepreneur. She created the first designer fashion line for children—light, colourful, and playful when others still dressed children as miniature adults. Later, she introduced the first tailored menswear collection and the world’s first unisex fragrance, revolutionizing the industry.
At its height, Maison Lanvin employed more than 1,000 artisans and encompassed women’s, men’s, and children’s fashion, accessories, perfumes, home décor, and even a paint factory. Lanvin also designed costumes for theatre and film, developed the legendary Arpège perfume, and discovered her signature Lanvin Blue, inspired by Fra Angelico’s celestial tones.
Lavishly illustrated with rare photographs, sketches, and archival material, Jeanne Lanvin – Fashion Pioneer offers an intimate look at the creativity, determination, and elegance of a true fashion icon.
Perfect for readers interested in strong women, couture history, and timeless Parisian elegance.
