Oh my God what a disappointment! I managed to get a seat at our buying session for Lanvin ready-to-wear AW08. I was so excited!!! My favorite! I already had in mind beige thick carpet, a quiet lounge and espressos. I was imagining models who would "slide" around quietly to present the new creations.

I was in for a treat. The Showroom was actually a HUGE room in the Trocadero Museum. 30 square tables for 4 people each dispatched around the room. 1 of each piece of clothing hanging on 1 entire wall of the room. You just had to fight to get to the skirts and dresses, grab a model and have her try it while following a temp sales person who just wouldn't hear that WE DON'T BUY LADY'S SUITS!!!!

The whole time people were grabbing clothes so you had no way of knowing if you weren't missing on something. The model you had trying on the dress you wanted to see "on the body" (on the bones would have been more accurate) just goes past you and you can't see a thing.

At 3PM I was exhausted by the constant noise, unnerved by our uncompetent sales person, and feeling so sad for the models.
I am no fat lover but there are limits. These girls are 16 and they are an insult to the creation they are wearing. YES you need at least a hint of a butt and a 85B to wear anything beautifully. GET rid of these girls and find some real women!
