Glazed pink donuts were laid out on breakfast trolleys at Lanvin's Sunday morning show, in an unusual choice for morning tea under the Palais des Études atrium of the Beaux Arts university. They didn't make sense until halfway through the show, when the bare-chested boys in cashmere coats made way for lolly-coloured skinny suits and an explosion of geometric broderie anglaise (giant chocolate sprinkles?). The designers Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz called out 'digital' as the season's keyword, which could explain the innovative way the pair dealt with clashing 1980s club kid colour and texture - as swatches of electric-blue or fuschia antelope popped against leopard and pinstripe. A series of naïve graphics featured fists and faces, picked out on lustrous sweaters, tees and a raglan-sleeved bomber, inspired by the Greek statues that line the venue's classical archways.
