Jeanne Lanvin - a milliner with her own business - attracted so much attention with the clothes she made for her family in the early 1900s, that she began to design for clients. This text presents photographs of her work, characterized by fine embroidery. The Lanvin archives are fascinating for two reasons. They have,firstly, a unique importance in the history of fashion. They include samples of beadwork and embroidery covering nearly twenty-five years, the complete set of drawings for the couture collections,more than five hundred designs ranging from wedding dresses to theatre costumes, as well as a mass of other documents assembled by Jeanne Lanvin herself.
