Stephanie Seymour and Alber Elbaz Talk Soup
We all agree Stephanie Seymour has a perfect bod, and OK, I don't hate her, but did you know she can write too? She interviewed Lanvin's Alber Elbaz for Interview magazine — whom I happen to be intrigued by, he's so discrete yet so opinionated — and you can see what I mean by their chat over soup. I suggest you print this one out, there's lots of juicy bits .
Fab Blab: Alber Elbaz
Last week Lanvin opened a womenswear store in London and Alber Elbaz used the event to pamper the ladies. Today Alber has spoken about the importance of luxury treats, despite the recession, particularly red lipstick. He said, "But, you know, it's almost like that moment when someone is told they have a disease.
Behind the Seams: Lanvin Opening
Alber Elbaz was in town last night for the opening of Lanvin's new Mount Street store. He operated a ladies only policy in the day as he showcased the Spring collection. Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers explained, "Alber talked as each model came out and gave us lots of little details about the creation of each one and lovely anecdotes about his life in fashion."
Sneak Preview of Lanvin Pre Fall
Alber Elbaz has just revealed his pre-fall line for Lanvin. In these tough economic times the luxury fashion industry has taken a bit of a battering but Alber has put a positive spin on it. He told WWD, “When the market crashes, it’s best to invest in gold,” so he's created a glamorous dream world.
Simply Fab: Lanvin Dolls
If the Sonia Rykiel snowglobe didn't take your fancy then maybe you'll be more impressed by these Lanvin porcelain figures. Representing the best of Summer 2008 the seven hand painted figures were designed by Alber Elbaz and are a nod to the post-war Theâtre de la Mode show which couturiers used to use to show off their collections. This is the second collection to be released and feature the Summer collection '08 and also highlights from the bridal line.
Fab Blab: Alber Elbaz Gets Emotional
I always think that Alber Elbaz, the creative director of Lanvin seems adorable. The Israeli designer has been at Lanvin since 2001 and the collections seem to keep getting better.
This week he spoke to WWD and expressed the need to be emotional.
Simply Fab: Lanvin Colour Pencils
It has been revealed this morning that Alber Elbaz likes coloured pencils so much that he is to release a limited edition set! The box named “20 years of Supracolor by Alber” features a Parisian carrying Lanvin shopping bags. Supracolor’s maker, Swiss company Caran d’Ache approached Elbaz following a magazine interview which revealed them as his favourite brand.
Fab Flash: Karl Lagerfeld Dreams of Being a Rapper
The first time I lay my beedy eye on this picture I thought somebody had been very clever with photoshop. I could not believe the Kaiser himself would dress in such a way, however, it is taken from this month's US Harpers Bazaar where designers are fulfilling their fantasies.
Giorgio Armani as Fred Astaire, Karl Lagerfeld as a rapper ("Believe it or not, I love rap," finally we find out what is on all those ipods) and Alber Elbaz as a Hollywood producer with James Bond flair.
Fab Blab: Karl Lagerfeld Thinks London is Demode
Numero magazine recently caught up with Karl Lagerfeld and Alber Elbaz to ask them about life in Paris, the demise of Haute Couture and their Mothers. At one point we see Alber get slightly irritated by Karl as he refuses to define his nationality. Having lived in Paris for the majority of his life, you might think that Karl considered himself to be a Parisian however this is apparently not so.
Behind the Seams: Lanvin and Acne Jeans Blue Soiree
We got word a while back that Alber Elbaz was working on a Lanvin denim collection with Acne Jeans. At last the collaboration has come to fruition and where there's a new collection, there's a party. Eva Mendes, Liv Tyler, and Rachel Zoe all put on something blue and celebrated alongside Alber Elbaz at Hotel de Crillon in Paris (where the Crillon Ball was held on The Hills).
