The Dutch designer is moving on after 14 years heading up menswear at the house.

Lucas Ossendrijver's 10th anniversary at Lanvin might've been overshadowed by the absence of Alber Elbaz, but the Dutch designer showed a wonderful collection that drew on a rebellious scruffiness as its aesthetic theme.

For the curtain call of the autumn/winter 16 men’s shows in Paris, Lanvin and Paul Smith closed a season defined by change and the loss of menswear’s ultimate hero, David Bowie.

As Paris rang out the autumn/winter 15 men’s shows, Lanvin’s Lucas Ossendrijver, Kenzo’s Humberto Leon, and Sir Paul Smith spoke to i-D about the normalities and extremes that have characterised the season.

Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver weren’t kidding around when they dreamt up the amazingly versatile Lanvin collection they showed in Paris on Sunday morning. After the show, Alber told i-D just why.
