Original

What does it mean to be an original? Basically it means you were the first. But there are a lot of people who do things first who never get the credit for being "Original". More than just being the first to be original means you were the first to do it in a way that made everyone else want to do the same.

When it comes to fashion there is one original. They weren't the first, but they were the first to do it with such romance. A name that doesn't come off the tongues of most fashion enthusiasts ever, but holds a special place in the hearts of those fashion houses that the whole world just can't live without. The name is Lanvin. Jeanne Lanvin.

Jeanne went from making clothes for her daughter to becoming designer to Paris's most elite. And then after the introduction of Lanvin Parfumes she made history. Taking the world of fashion from simple blue collar tailors to artists of higher society. Where people don't say they're wearing a dress. They say "I'm wearing Lanvin."

Lanvin is the world's oldest fashion house still in existence. From a time when dreams really could come true. Jeanne is an inspiration to all those up and coming designers out there selling their wares on the net. In a world where people like her wouldn't get a second glance she stood out and made the whole world notice. You've got to do something that's never been done before...with such passion and love.
