Acne/Lanvin 2010

Clearly the much awaited fashion's fave luxury brands collaboration - where old Parisian brand reunites with current creative denim brand- is here! Acne and Lanvin have come up with lightweight, well-cut silhouettes referencing classic looks from both brands.

Acne made use of quality Japanese denim - ( Denim made using traditional production techniques that have long been abandoned elsewhere. Though far more labour-intensive and expensive, jeans produced this way have a feel and appearance that is second to none.) resulting to inventive glamour of the dresses, skirts and tops from the signature drapes and flourishes of Lanvin's Alber Elbaz. This I am sure is why the prices and £££$$$.

I love the use of ruffles & ruching and also the colours - mostly blue and shades of black.

Silver studs and crystals were also touched on - This is soo cute too - it's denim

All available to buy on the Acne online store.

Acne for Lanvin Denim dress with corsage

One of the best summery one-shoulder denim dress piece, I have seen in a while. I love the ruched left shoulder and the flower made of raw edged denim fabric which adorns the chest. The dress is in soft Japanese light weight denim

Wow! Look at the various sets I found on Polyvore featuring the dress, they are all so fab - love them all. Some of the shoes/accessories make my heart skip beats!

First with neutral colours....
