It’s been a crazy week in fashion. Those who have been following me on instagram @sandrascloset got the breaking news already this afternoon. After Raf Simons another designer is joining the fashion carrousel: Alber Elbaz leaves Lanvin after 14 years. It is said that his exit was based on a decision made by Lanvin owner Shaw-Lan Wang.
No word so far on Alber’s next move, but one thing is for sure after Simons it’s another high-profile fashion departure in a week and it puts Elbaz in a premium position to be considered for the Dior post. I think that it would be a perfect match!
Alber Elbaz with me in Paris a few weeks ago.
Now, it is a good time to shop the latest designs by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. I put a great outfit together for you.
Get the look: Embellished velvet and wool-gabardine jacket, cutout metallic fil coupé chiffon mini dress, metallic suede brogues, Sugar medium quilted suede shoulder bag, tasseled gold-tone crystal necklace and snake chain-trimmed rabbit-felt hat, all by Lanvin.
LoL, Sandra
