Lanvin's creative director Alber Elbaz has designed a capsule accessories collection to celebrate his 10 years at the helm of the French fashion house. Alber Elbaz may have already celebrated his 10-year reign at Lanvin with a 'greatest hits' collection for autumn/winter 2012, and a big birthday bash after the Paris show (complete with Mr. Elbaz himself singing a karaoke version of 'Que Sera, Sera'), but he's not stopping there.

He has now created "Happy" Les 10 Ans - a mix-and-match capsule accessories collection which aims to express "the modernity of the house's emblematic styles and a certain couture-style refinement in the fabrics, colours and finishing details." The range features 10 variations of Lanvin's classic chain-handled 'Happy' bag, as well as 10 pairs of shoes - flats and heels, to make up the "ideal shoe wardrobe" - and 10 pieces of gem-heavy statement jewellery.

The animal print set features a bag with an enamel clasp and a panther print from the 2010 collection, an open-toe pump, and a necklace covered in leopard print.

Bijou features diamanté, sequins, and a brass floral motif.

A fabric from Summer 2011 is the inspiration for the Lanvin All-Over Embroidered set, which features a series of charms and medallions on the bag’s strap and the necklace. The pump is covered with the fabric itself.

Matelassage Art features a geometric motif.

Diamanté Heart features the house's signature heart — embroidered in a giant version on the bag, as a discreet version on the back of the ballet pump, and transformed into a giant heart pendant with diamanté cabochons.

Tulle and Pearls is an homage to the house’s famous necklace of pearls covered in tulle: a bag covered with tulle strips, a five-row rope of tulle-covered pearls, and a ballet slipper with pom-poms and diamanté pearls.
