"The second she worked on with sought-after stars of the day: Armand-Albert Rateau and Eugène Printz. Rateau designed the interior of Jeanne's magnificent home at 16 rue Barbet-de-Jouy in the 7th arrondissement of Paris; Printz did the interior of her office at 22 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where clients could view themselves from every angle in the three-way mirror that slid on a curving track."
"Since July 2024, British-born Copping has been its artistic director, a designer with experience at Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta and Balenciaga, where until recently he ran the couture department. A man with a wealth of design knowledge, he has nonetheless found the Lanvin archive-a deep trove of carefully conserved clothing, embroidery, dolls, textiles and accessories-to be unlike any other he has worked with."
"Gabet is the director of the Department of Objets d'Art at the Musée du Louvre-a sprawling 9,000 sq. m space that encompasses everything from medieval religious icons to 19th-century glass, and where this year he curated an exhibition, Louvre Couture, of 99 looks borrowed directly from 45 fashion houses. For nine years, Gabet was the director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, also part of the Louvre."
Jeanne Lanvin advanced from children's clothes to celebrated couture and integrated interior design into her maison, collaborating with designers Armand-Albert Rateau and Eugène Printz. Rateau furnished her home at 16 rue Barbet-de-Jouy; Printz designed the office at 22 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré with a three-way mirror on a curving track. The Lanvin house has remained active since 1889, was sold to L'Oréal in 1980, and now sits within the Lanvin Group. Since July 2024 Peter Copping serves as artistic director and has found the Lanvin archive uniquely rich. Olivier Gabet directs the Department of Objets d'Art at the Musée du Louvre and curated the Louvre Couture exhibition.
