Lanvin's landmark stand at the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in l925 marked a new, more modern departure in her designs; dresses became far shorter, tubular, cubist in inspiration as can be seen by the beaded shifts she designed for her mondaine garconne clients.
In the l930's as a softer, more sinuous look came back into fashion, Jeanne Lanvin returned (one suspects with a sigh of relief) to the delicate details and gossamer that had made her reputation and her fortune in earlier seasons.
