Jiemian News notes that Lanvin has been in decline for several years after a brief rebound in 2021 and 2022, when revenue advanced by 108% and 64% respectively and surpassed €100 million in 2022. The report also says Lanvin Group appointed Peter Copping as artistic director in June 2024, with his initial and subsequent collections revisiting the brand’s archive and classic aesthetics.
