Thom Lanvin: The Man

Res2
Install1
You must, must, must go read the Thomas Lanvin interview on Decorati. In it he discusses his to-the-trade home furnishings showroom and his approach to design. It should come as no surprise that Thomas, like every creative professional I know, sees travel as one of his greatest sources of inspiration. Getting out of your space, your routine and your comfort zone are key. It's important to push your own boundaries and see, breathe and taste new things. Naturally, he feels much the same. (more after the jump...)

Most notable from the interview, however, is his mention of an upcoming proprietary line named (cleverly) Lavinder. I love it. What a tidy example of personal branding at its best.

Be sure to read the interview, but also see what changes they've made to thomaslanvin.com. And keep your eyes on Thom... the industry certainly has their crystal balls trained on him.
