Powerful Women for Lanvin by Elbaz



Who can satisfy the women's most basic fashion desires? Inspired in his own land of Africa, the Moroccan born Alber Elbaz gets his sexiness and severity from the African winter and a wild daring ritual woman. Fur, plumes and feathers, strong cut and dark shadows. The African tribal element transpire in the heavy statement jewellery that matched the embellished metallic dresses underneath, with embroidery and more feathers.

"It's kind of old fashion to see grand girls coming down the stairs. It was so much more relevant to see them moving up. I cannot tell you what a drama it was because everything was built upstairs. If you have an idea and you believe it in it, you had to follow it."- Alber Elbaz. Read the full interview at dazed


 "Women ask for masculine tailoring, but they want to feel fragile. They want daywear, but buy evening. I designed a whole lot of draped things, but then it looked like too much. An overdose of fashion." - Alber Elbaz.


"Sexiness is about you" - Alber Elbaz. Who could guess that such a powerful take will come from a shy sweet guy like him... Watch a great special by the NY Times about him, Alber Elbaz and the video bellow.
