Lanvin's design position traces to 1889, when Jeanne Lanvin opened a Paris millinery shop, then founded her fashion house on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1909, the year she joined the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture as a designer. The house's founding language grew from Jeanne's bond with her daughter Marguerite, whose wardrobe shaped Lanvin's earliest women's and children's lines and set its dressmaking sensibility. Peter Copping, formerly of Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta and Balenciaga, was named Artistic Director in September 2024, leading womenswear and menswear.
