A little bird (that sometimes flies here, so maybe can chime in as well) told me that both shirtmakers and tailors left Lanvin for good. So now the grand old bespoke house is gone... Anyone can confirm? Details? Mourns?

If it is true, it is a real shame, but predictable.

A few months ago, I was in the Hong Kong shop, they were 'introducing' me to their made to measure program, and the sales did reference their bespoke operation on the top floor in Paris. Now either it's gone very recently, or that the salesperson was just striking up the prestige and emotion long gone to sell me a suit.

Will they be doing the same standard of work there? Or sucked into a fashion house never to return? (I have no idea about Smalto-- or the structure of Lanvin, for that matter.)

Smalto was one of the best tailors in Paris. They will be doing bespoke there similar to what they did at Lanvin.

Smalto published a video with recognizable faces:
