Alber Elbaz brings us an exotic collection that continues to reflect his chic Parisian style. It's an interesting voyage that takes us from the beaches of Tahiti to the coastlines of Mexico and India. But Elbaz says Acapulco was his main inspiration.

The Acapulco influence is reflected in the bright colour palette full of red, turquoise, yellow, lime and melon, and in the hats decorated with flowers.

It's a comfortable holiday collection, evidenced by the pyjama trousers and raffia stilettos. Silks and sequins lend a touch of sophistication, in a colour palette that combines black, shiny grey and colourful accessories.

Oh, and this time the sneakers Lanvin love so much form an even bigger part of the women's collection.
