For Fall/Winter 2026, Peter Copping separates menswear from womenswear to mark the centennial of Lanvin’s tailoring tradition for men.
Lanvin’s decision to present its Fall/Winter 2026 menswear collection independently signaled a deliberate statement from artistic director Peter Copping. Unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, the collection served as a considered tribute to the centenary of Lanvin Homme. Titled Homme du Monde, it marked 100 years since founder Jeanne Lanvin first ventured into menswear in 1926.
Under Copping’s direction, the collection draws deeply from the maison’s heritage while reframing it for a contemporary audience. Inspired by Jeanne Lanvin’s travels to Venice in the 1920s, the modern Lanvin man emerges as a cultivated traveler, his wardrobe shaped by memory, movement and cultural exchange. This narrative unfolded through precise tailoring in signature gray flannel, accented by jewel-toned shades of amethyst and absinthe that echoed the richness of Venetian craftsmanship.
As the story developed, the collection was anchored by enveloping outerwear and pieces designed for warmth and comfort. Cocoon coats recalled early twentieth-century proportions, while Art Deco–inspired knitwear and couture-derived embroidery were subtly reinterpreted for modern wear. Together, the looks struck a measured balance between intimacy and refinement, closing the presentation as a quiet yet assured reflection on Lanvin’s enduring menswear legacy.
