Was that the inspiration for the Paolo Scafora house style?

Vaclav, is spiritual as hell
Battle anybody I don't care who you tell
I excel, they all fail
I'm gonna crack shells, Double-V must rock the bells ..

A friend suggested that Lanvin also has or had some foreign clients who are able regularly to place very large orders -- storybook nabobs who reputedly wear shirts once, that sort of thing. (Similarly, I am certain that Hilditch & Key Paris' bespoke operations -- which are separate from those of its UK parent -- are completely dependent on their hundreds of orders annually from Mr. Lagerfeld.) At the same time, my friend suggests that the owners of Lanvin aren't particularly interested in supporting the bespoke operations, so things may sort of be drifting.
