Lanvin designer Bruno Sialelli quoted from decades of fashion history on Wednesday in a ready-to-wear show fully befitting France's oldest fashion house.

A year after his appointment as new artistic creator, Sialelli drew inspiration from the Lanvin heritage with trademark embroidered gowns and tailored suits.
Supermodel Bella Hadid paraded down the catwalk wrapped in a fluffy fur-collared double-breasted coat, sporting crimson-red lipstick and a retro hairstyle straight out of a 1950s American movie.

Sialelli added to the collection with ultra-long gloves, a 60s-style short dress with a delicate white checkered print and headbands matching a tiny lunchbox-like handbag.
Lanvin, bought by Chinese Fosun, is attempting a turnaround after it plunged into losses following the departure of its longtime star designer Alber Elbaz in 2015.
