Lanvin exhibition at Carita Beauty House, the sublime free haute-couture exhibition

The brand new and sublime Maison de Beauté Carita in Paris, hostsuntil March 24, 2023, an exhibition of haute-couture dedicated to the house of Lanvin. This installation-event celebrates the friendship between the Carita sisters and the famous fashion house, in a place full of magic and refinement.

This exhibition traces the history of the meeting between the two houses in the 1950s in Paris. At that time, Carita was known for its expertise in hair and beauty, while Lanvin was a reference in haute-couture. The collaboration between the two houses was obvious, and a "haute-coiffure" fashion show was improvised in 1952. The creations are elegant and the volumes are supple, while the hairstyles are inventive. This collaboration sealed the friendship between the Carita sisters and the Lanvin fashion house.

The exhibition is conceived as an ode to femininity, where we discover the most beautiful dresses of the house Lanvin. The installation is particularly elegant, and movement is at the heart of the staging. Discreet fans are installed under the creations to emphasize their delicacy and nonchalant elegance.
