Not Quite The Hell's Angel

In Style's review, Alber Elbaz claimed that by the time he started sketching, his ideas would be replaced by something different from what he initially had in mind. And as his sketches build up, they slowly turn into something else. So Lanvin's Spring 2012 RTW collection became something of hell and heaven. The darker pieces representing his earliest vision of angels in hell and their return to  earth in sheer, lightweight pleated wonders.
