Powerful Women for Lanvin by Elbaz

Who can satisfy the women's most basic fashion desires? Inspired in his own land of Africa, the Moroccan born Alber Elbaz gets his sexiness and severity from the African winter and a wild daring ritual woman. Fur, plumes and feathers, strong cut and dark shadows. The African tribal element transpire in the heavy statement jewellery that matched the embellished metallic dresses underneath, with embroidery and more feathers.
