Lanvin : I love you
\"An important monograph on the complete work thus far of Alber Elbaz for Lanvin--one of fashion's most transformative designers working today, who employs mise-en-scènes as a principal way of staging his work. Under the helm of present design director Alber Elbaz, Lanvin is now one of the powerhouses of Paris fashion, and his respectful nod to the origins and founding aesthetic of Lanvin is tempered by an unrivaled, transformative energy that has created a new, youthful audience for the house. One of the pillars of Elbaz's work, apart from staging dynamic runway presentations, is a unique way of presenting his designs in the windows of their flagship stores, most notably in the boutique on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. These mise-en-scènes, which change every month, are well regarded as elaborate spectacles unique even in fashion. Seducing passersby into his very distinctive brand of street theater and occasionally employing prominent artists of the day, Elbaz's windows are above all about the clothes, and his designs are given pride of place in a variety of elegant and often playful episodes. The book showcases the fashion and spirit of Lanvin with nearly two hundred compositions, from those shown at their boutiques to one-offs at the Crillon, and as far afield as Art Basel in Miami, as well as unpublished renderings of concepts hand-drawn by Elbaz.\"--from Amazon.com.

How Alber Elbaz Created His Runway Shows
After his spring 2008 fashion show, Sarah Rutson, then fashion director at Lane Crawford, told WWD she was seduced from the minute she heard her heels tapping on the venue's wooden floor, \"as if I were walking on an old-time dance floor or an old-fashioned seaside promenade...By the time the white ostrich-feather dress came out, I was sighing and cooing like a woman who had been deprived of clothes all her life. Russo recalled buying an architectural model of a spiral staircase at a farmer's market in the South of France that had some antique stalls, and he presented it as a gift for Elbaz. According to Rutson, Elbaz's design ethos and regard for women were equivalent to a love letter and \"the fashion shows were a moving, living expression of that love.\"

Alber Elbaz Grabs the Mic
Viewers waited well over an hour for the \"AZ Factory Talk Show With Alber Elbaz & Friends\" to start on Wednesday afternoon, with celebrity guests including actresses Kristin Scott Thomas and Camille Razat; TV chef Rachel Khoo, and model and body positivity activist Charli Howard. Elbaz chatted with Scott Thomas about moving corset bones from the front to the back of a dress \"to give you some support,\" and laid out details of his ergonomic sleeves; long, bejeweled zipper backs on dresses, and newfangled stretchy fabrics that know where to hug a woman's body. Later in the day, Elbaz swapped his yellow bowtie for a blue one for a Q&A with Net-a-porter Group's fashion director Kay Barron, during which he drove home his inclusivity message.

The World According to Elbaz: Pondering Fashion's Purpose
In an interview, he was short on specifics but long on philosophy, talking about why he chose Compagnie Financiere Richemont as a partner, what he's expecting to achieve and how his approach, with help from Richemont's owner and chairman Johann Rupert, will be a gentle one. The Paris-based designer said he hopes to turn his dreams and ideas into real products that will sell online, in brickand-mortar stores and hopefully on the Richemont-owned Net-a-porter and Mr Porter, too. A.E.: We love the idea of online, but I also like the idea of keeping the existing stores, department stores on board. Given that Richemont is the world leader in high-end watches and jewelry, how big a role will luxury play in your new proposition?

Designer marathon. Volume 6, Episode 3, Alber Elbaz
Moroccan-born Elbaz moved to New York City at the age of 26 to work for Geoffrey Beene, and left New York in 1997 to design for Guy Laroche. Within a year, he caught the eye of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge, and was asked to design the pret-a-porter for YSL. With the unexpected sale of YSL to the Gucci group in 1999, Elbaz was out of a job. In 2001 Elbaz found himself at the dusty house of Lanvin. His style has evolved into a combination of free-form creativity and refined couture techniques.
