The Best Bet
Alber Elbaz recharged the fading French fashion house Lanvin in the past couple of years by gently twisting classics: pretty dresses with threadbare hems, pearl necklaces bound in fraying tulle, trench coats cut full enough
to catch the wind. He pulls off that trick
again with this new, surprisingly practical
shoulder bag ($1,085 at Barneys New York; 212-826-8900). Made in a ribbed silk normally used for neckties, it’s lighter than the usual leather, sporty enough for summer, and—most important—bound to impress.
