Lanvin Hiver 2011 Raw Edge Silk Shift Dress

Lanvin silk shift dress from the Winter 2011 collection designed under creative director Alber Elbaz. Crafted in fluid charcoal-purple silk satin, the dress features a softly structured shift silhouette with a slightly dropped waist and relaxed drape through the body.

The design highlights Elbaz’s signature exploration of modern couture techniques through visible construction and intentionally raw edges. The sculptural collar is cut with softly pointed shapes that frame the neckline, while exposed seam allowances and unfinished edges create a subtle deconstructed aesthetic throughout the garment.

Vertical stitched panels through the bodice add gentle structure and visual elongation. At the back, the dress opens into a deep V neckline finished with long silk ties that create movement and a delicate bow detail.

Elegant yet quietly experimental, this piece reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship and emotional design language that defined Lanvin during Alber Elbaz’s influential tenure.
