The folks that brought you models dancing to Pitbull just one short year ago, are serving up a whole dish of ‘real’. That’s right, no models for Lanvin’s Fall 2012 campaign. No ~supermodels~, at least. Meet some of the ‘real folks’ who are a little more extraordinary than your Average Joe, but a little less mainstream than your Not-So-Average Giselle.
