Lanvin, unsettling? C'mon!

According to The Gloss, these images from Lanvin's Spring 2012 ad campaign are "unsettling'' because the use of snakes by Steven Meisel in the campaign "adds a little something sinister to the brand".

To this I have one word: c'mon!

Sinister? Instead of taking away from the good taste of Lanvin's brand, this campaign adds to it. One of my favourite things about this Lanvin Spring 2012 collection was Alber Elbaz's use of jewelled or green snakes coiling around the dresses and pants. And what happened in Paris? Women clambered to get their hands on the collection.

That's the allure with Lanvin - Elbaz makes women absolutely sexy, sometimes provocatively sexy, with designs that are immediately elegant, yet in touch with what women of that day want.

Who wouldn't want to look as incredible as models Amyeline Valade and Marte Mei van Haaster in these $3000 cocktail dresses?
