Label Text:Since 2019, Lanvin has been under the leadership of Bruno Sialelli, who has been tasked with unifying its menswear and womens wear divisions. Accessories for the fall 2019 collection included these knee-high boots, printed with an etching that depicts the legend of Saint George taming and slaying a dragon. This powerful design positioned footwear at the forefront of the new Lanvin aesthetic.
