On June 26, Lanvin creative director Peter Copping will present his first standalone men’s collection on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar — a milestone for France’s oldest continuously operating couture house. The presentation marks the brand’s renewed commitment to men’s wear after years of rotating through co-ed formats and off-calendar showings.
The stakes are high. Lanvin has spent the better part of a decade searching for a stable identity after the departure of former creative director Alber Elbaz in 2015 sent the brand into a tailspin of rotating designers and unclear direction. Under Copping, the house has begun to recover its voice, but a standalone men’s show signals that the turnaround is gaining momentum.
Copping’s men’s collection is expected to translate the house’s couture-level construction into everyday pieces: soft-shouldered jackets, trousers with a generous leg, and outerwear that emphasizes fabric weight over embellishment. The goal is not to reinvent menswear but to refine it through the lens of a house that has been doing it since 1889.
Copping, who joined Lanvin in 2024 after tenures at Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton, has been quietly rebuilding the house’s wardrobe from its archival foundations. His co-ed debut in January 2026 drew praise for its romantic tailoring and precise handling of Lanvin’s signature draping — qualities that now extend into a fully realized men’s offering.
