  • Story Text: Claude Montana and Cristina Ortiz, designing for Lanvin, have been showing their autumn/winter ready-to-wear collections during Paris fashion week.

    Claude Montana, known for his eccentricity, showed a reasonably classic collection on Thursday (March 12).

    But Montana's forte is always leather: short black leather blazers with pants in mohair, zip-up padded jackets in nylon with studded leather jeans.

    Wool and mohair were also used to soften the line, and black and red predominated.

    At the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, Spaniard Cristina Ortiz, former style coordinator for Prada, showed for Lanvin for the first time.

    She takes over from Ocimar Versolato, the Brazilian designer whose short-lived relationship with Lanvin ended less than two years after he began.

    Ortiz's collection was classic with simple lines.She favoured puffed skirts made in muslin.Sometimes, she presented transparent dark blue tops worn either with skirts or trousers.

    As for the colours, Ortiz presented a range of black, dark blue and turquoise and from time to time a touch of red.The lines were pure without embellishment.
