The Story Behind: Alber Elbaz was a Moroccan born and a top designer at Lanvin for 14 years from (2001–2015). Alber Elbaz designed for many houses before designing for Lanvin. From 1996 until 2001, Elbaz worked for the French house Guy Laroche as head of prêt-à-porter, then in 1998 he worked as creative director of Yves Saint Laurent to replace Yves Saint Laurent when YSL retired. Then for Gucci until January 2000. He joined Lanvin in 2001, he was credited with the house’s renewed appeal thanks to Elbaz’s “classic with a twist” takes on silk cocktail dresses and other feminine designs, often playing with colour or other unusual variations on hallmark elegance.

Looking back on his career, Women’s Wear Daily wrote, “His elegant, feminine designs and pulse-pounding runway shows, which had a carnival spirit, catapulted Lanvin to become a top Paris fashion house. He spurred a trend for luxury brand jewellery when he launched strands of fabric-covered pearls. His light-hearted sketches, depicting anything from lollipops to Elbaz’s own face became a signature on the brand’s visual style. Elbaz’s simple, feminine clothing, which has been compared to Lanvin’s 1920s designs, was lauded by the fashion press. In 2005 Suzy Menkes wrote: “Elbaz is every woman’s darling. And that includes Nicole, Kate, Chloë Sevigny, Sofia Coppola and some of rising movie names.
