Expectations ran high on Wednesday at Lanvin as friends old and new turned out at the first show designed by Olivier Lapidus.
“[This show] is the beginning, next year will be the big bang,” said Jean Reno, who took a break from his action-packed schedule in support of his “recent but very intense” friendship with Lapidus.
“Seduction is 98 percent of our actions, and fashion is definitely a weapon of seduction,” the French actor said. Best known internationally for his action movie roles, he recently starred in Hong Kong action flick “The Adventurers” and is set to start filming “Doorman,” starring Katie Holmes, in November in Canada.
