New Creative Director of Lanvin, Bruno Sialelli
The 31-year-old French designer who hails from the menswear division of Loewe has accrued extensive experience having worked under the patronages of both Nicolas Ghequière and Alexander Wang, before becoming the Senior Womenwear Designer at Acne Studios and then Paco Rabanne. Sialelli’s expertise encompasses both womenswear and menswear, unifying the two areas under his directorship; his “singular and very personal vision, his audacity” conspires to make him the leader of Fosun’s “pivotal new direction” as luxury fashion blurs the boundaries between the sexes.
Bruno Sialelli’s arrival signals a new era for Lanvin, one that promises them a movement away from their fated past and into a new chapter of the epochal fashion house.
