History & Operations
Founded in Paris in 1889 by the milliner Jeanne Lanvin, the original house quickly became known for its elegant and sophisticated designs, distinctive “Lanvin blue” color, and iconic mother-and-daughter logo designed by Paul Iribe.

The modern Lanvin Group, formed in 2017 (originally as Fosun Fashion Group and rebranded in 2021), focuses on revitalizing these heritage brands while leveraging synergies in design, production, and distribution, with a strategic emphasis on growth in the Chinese market and digital transformation.
