Net-A-Porter are teaming up with former Givenchy designer Guillaume Henry at the creative helm of Carven to launch their S/S '10 collection for purchase exclusively online.

Having been established by French couturier Madame Carmen de Tommaso in 1945 with an atelier on the Champs-Élysées, Carven, initially launched to cater for petite women, has since included European royalty and post-war stars from the big screen who appreciated the lengthening effect of her designs. The label still retains the streamlined style that was popular back then; draped cocktail dresses, sleek mini skirts and loose-fit taffeta coats, all featuring Henry's distinctive double-duty spin will be available at www.net-a-porter.com.
