Lanvin has collaborated with charity Dessine L’Espoir to commission a range of handmade soft figurines dressed in miniature Lanvin Petite outfits – the new line of girlswear being launched by Alber Elbaz. The dolls have been crafted by a group of women disgnosed HIV positive in Swaziland, and this employment will enable them to better look after their families and improve their quality of life. On sale from November in all Lanvin boutiques.
