Sources say that Lanvin will head on to a new direction to be a "French Michael Kors".

Soon after <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/bouchra-jarrar-set-to-leave-lanvin">Bouchra Jarrar&#39;s departure</a>, Lanvin has swiftly appointed Olivier Lapidus as its new artistic&nbsp;director yesterday.

Taking&nbsp;on the role effective immediately, Olivier will be showing his first collection for Lanvin this coming September during Paris Fashion Week and we expect a complete 180-degree change from what Bouchra has done so far.

And all this are happening amid plans to revamp the brand as &ldquo;a French&nbsp;Michael Kors&quot;, according to <a href="https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/news-analysis/olivier-lapidus-joins-lanvin-amid-plans-to-make-brand-a-french-michael-kors">Business of Fashion</a>.

Previously the designer for Balmain Homme (1985&ndash;1986), Olivier has also recently launched his own collection&nbsp;via Instagram, clearly embracing the era of technology and social media.

"Lanvin was interested in my Internet approach". – Olivier Lapidus

In his interview with <a href="http://www.vogue.com/article/lanvin-olivier-lapidus-interview">Vogue</a>, he says, &quot;Lanvin was interested in my [Internet] approach. New technologies can be very pertinent for the oldest couture house in France. Clearly, there is something innovative to tap there in terms of positioning and communications.&quot;

And look at the progression now, if Lanvin is indeed moving towards a &quot;French Michael Kors&quot; direction, we are expecting a complete lifestyle approach that encompasses various sections including watch, technology, homes and more.

So far, there are no official statements on the account. So stay tuned for more!
