6 Things to Know About Lanvin's Newly Appointed Head of Design

The 45-year-old designer has lauded the work of '50s and '60s couturiers, like Cristóbal Balenciaga and Gabrielle Chanel, who "exalted women with their pristine and sculptural designs."

Of the position, she said in a press release: "It is a huge honor to continue to promote the Lanvin style, with designs created in the company’s ateliers by teams who possess extraordinary expertise. Joining Lanvin meets a desire to expand my creation to wider fields of expression. It is my intention to bring to Lanvin the harmony and consistency of a fashion designed for women, a fashion of our time."

Like Lanvin's former head of design, Alber Elbaz, Bouchra is prized for her artful draping. Her technical skills have earned her praise, and her expertly cut sportswear has garnered something of a celebrity following.
