As per the press release found on Lanvin's website:
LANVIN ACNE SUMMER 2009 MICRO COLLECTION
"Lanvin and Acne Jeans have joined their talents to create an exclusive collection based around denim. Born from a meeting between Alber Elbaz and Jonny Johansson, the creative director of the celebrated Swedish jeans brand founded in 1996, this micro-range for men and women was developed around the idea of "making denim desirable".
"Amongst the forty pieces designed by Lanvin and manufactured by Acne are women's trousers, but also shorts, corset dresses, tie-neck blouses, trench coats and double breasted jackets with puff sleeves. The men's collection, designed by Lucas Ossendrijver under the guidance of Alber Elbaz, features jeans, tailored front-pleated trousers, shorts, classic blazer jackets and macs."
During the press launch of the collection, Alber Elbaz, the 47 year old designer of Lanvin stated "I've started conceptualizing all of this not so long ago," said Elbaz during a one-on-one preview of the line. Fashion Week Daily first reported Elbaz was in talks to do a line with Acne Jeans in April. "I was very pleased when I started working with Acne. They're just young, energetic sexy Swedes and our partnership really wasn't about signing hardcore contracts, it was really just about creating about something that was mutually fun and creative."
The collection is due to hit Barneys and Berdorf Goodman in late November here in the States. Below are some press images released by Lanvin/Acne Jeans encapsulating the collection. Prices will range between $550 to $650 for jeans, while coats will run $1,200 to $1,500. The jewelry and handbags are expected to be priced north of $1,500.
