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 .
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).
Fashion Metamorphosis: Yves Saint Laurent
With the unfortunate passing of one of fashion's greatest inspirations, Yves Saint Laurent, I thought it would be fitting to take you through the fashion metamorphosis of Yves himself, his revolutionary brand, and its many successors. What many people don't know is that YSL officially started in the fashion business when Christian Dior died in October of 1957. At the age of 21, Yves was thrust into the spotlight, and more importantly, into the role of head designer of the house of Dior.
On Our Radar: Alber Elbaz To Do Lanvin Jeans
We all love those exquisite Lanvin party frocks, but how about something more wearable for the everyday?
That's just what Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz has in mind. He's in talks to create his first jeans line together with Acne Jeans.
On Our Radar: Alber Elbaz Launches Bridal Collection
Brides-to-be who want a little avant-garde for their big day can now look to Lanvin. Despite his hectic schedule, Alber Elbaz has squeezed in a bridal collection for Lanvin called Collection Blanche. His tongue-in-cheek creations hit the Dover Street Market display windows a few weeks ago.
Best of 2007: Most Fab Designer
You voted Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga for best designer of 2007. After much deliberation, Fab's vote goes to Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. It was a very tough decision, but I think we can all agree that the Fall collection teased a little something and the Spring collection was a full-blown fashion orgasm.
Who Was the Most Fab Designer of 2007?
This morning one of the Pop girls declared: "I can't believe it's December." It always seems to creep up on you — the end of the year, that is. Alas, time flies when you're having fun!
Happy 140th Birthday, Bazaar!
Pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and you'll soon realize that one of the greatest fashion magazines, started in 1867, is celebrating it's big 1-4-0! In a world so fickle, lasting that long in any industry is not easy. So let's put our hands together, clear our throats, and sing one of our favorite mags a happy birthday.
Fab Read: Lanvin
If you've ever wondered who the sartorial genius was behind the famous French label, Lanvin, then I recommend the petite book Lanvin, $13, by French novelist Elizabeth Barille. It offers an inside look at the life and work of Jeanne Lanvin (1867-1946), the woman behind the label once known for its mother-and-daughter ensembles and most recently recognized for its jewel-toned frocks.
Although in 2001 Alber Elbaz was appointed Lanvin's artistic director, there's a lot of rich history to be learned about the lady who started the legendary brand in the early 1900s.
