Looks like the Lanvin sale was nothing but a beautiful fantasy. A high-level Racked operative reports chaos at 230 Fifth Avenue, where well-dressed ladies have been waiting up all morning for the rare opportunity to buy items from the venerable French line at 70% off. When the doors opened at 10, though, it quickly became clear that the only designer present was Rachel Roy, who holds sample sales all the time. "Women keep coming in, realizing there's no Lanvin, and leaving," says our informant. "People are pissed." [RackedWire; Previously]
