Jeanne Lanvin, one of the great couturiers of the early twentieth century, gave up her original career as a milliner when her clients began to demand copies of the dresses she had made for her younger sister and daughter. These youthful mother-and-daughter outfits made Lanvin famous. Her designs blurred the distinctions between women and young girls with a fluid silhouette, flattering to a growing shape as well as one approaching middle age. Lanvin also innovated with her very feminine "robes de style" and romantic dresses. Her work is characterized by fine embroidery, superb craftsmanship, and harmonious colors?among them the "Lanvin blue," to which she gave her name.
