It'S Really Hard To Be A Fashion Designer. Can Not Afford To Hurt Alber Elbaz

After Alexander Wang and Raf Simons have left Balenciaga and Dior, triggering the earthquake in the fashion circle, even Alber Elbaz, who does not ask the world and bustle, seems to have decided to leave LANVIN for 14 years.

According to foreign WWD reports, Alber Elbaz has to leave the news despite hidden but not yet, but there are news that Alber Elbaz's departure is due to differences with designers and company leaders.

The Israeli designer who leads the LANVIN to the first line of boutique will sing a song, and So, Alber will play GOODBYE with his Bole Wang Xiaolan.

According to Paris market sources, Lanvin controlling shareholder, Wang Xiao Lan, a publishing giant in Taiwan, contacted the family of the Asian Consortium at the beginning of the year. It is likely to be related to the sale of shares, but the latest news revealed no formal communication.

Although LANVIN has not yet confirmed the news, it is rumoured that Alber announced the resignation of the company in the morning, and the company also convened all staff meetings this afternoon. The sad Alber packed the luggage again, emptied all the private belongings of the company, and moved away from the office of Rue Du Faubourg Saint-Honor e on the suburb street of Paris Saint nore.

This reminds me of the days when Elbaz left YSL, and he remembers that he said, "when I was dismissed by YSL, I felt like a widow, full of pain."

Presumably, Elbaz should have suffered a lot of grievances this time, so I feel very sorry for the little fat man.

It's hard to be a designer.

When it comes to this topic, it is impossible to resist the suicide of Alexander McQueen. In February 11, 2010, he died at the age of 40 at the neck of depression.

The suicide of Alexander McQueen is certainly related to his previous loss of his most beloved mother. But it is also undeniable that the great pressure of work in Paris fashion week was facing the impending moment.

Christophe Decarnin, who turned over the Balmain salted fish, suffered from depressive symptoms due to differences in marketing strategy, work pressure and severe fatigue over a long period of time with the top management. He resigned in April 2011.

In the same year, John Galliano officially issued an expulsion order because of discrimination against Jews.

2011 this year is similar to this year. The news of designers leaving is not bad for one month.

By the end of 2013, there were three major events in the fashion industry: LV designer Marc Jacobs, a public offering; Balenciaga former designer Nicolas Ghesqui e re took the 7 million euro lawsuit of former owner LV; Burberry group CEO job hopping to Apple, designer promotion to promotion.

Today, Da Ren Ge quit, Raf went to find freedom, Alessandro Michele went to the top, and now even the little fat man left.

At the top of the fashion industry in Pyramid, designers at the top of the financial crisis, the brand's increasingly independent emphasis on economic efficiency and the strong competition in the industry have finally shown that they are just like the ordinary people: they will be nervous, they have pressure, they will be depressed, they will be fired.

You have the pressure, I have the pressure, seems to be the universal state of fashion designers. Alber Elbaz and those designers who can not afford to fall down tell us that every bright figure has a tired soul behind them.

Alber Elbaz has described the heavy pressure faced by fashion designers today: "I don't understand that today's fashion is like a marathon. Designers want their brands to grow bigger, stronger and faster. If they do not develop, they will be eliminated by the market.

We create six to eight fashion series every year, and even many designers have a career of 20 years, that is, we need to design more than 250 kinds of clothing series, which is almost unthinkable.

Lanvin's night watchman Alber Elbaz, the most fat woman in the world.

He was short and chubby, with a small black frame and plain eyes. His neck hung on his favorite bow tie or a untidy silk scarf. He used to smile like a child. Everyone used to call him "Alber Elbaz".

"I know many people like me today, but tomorrow they may like others.

I've never been Elbaz of YSL, nor Elbaz of Lanvin. I'm a small, fat Elbaz.

It doesn't matter. It's all normal. "

If Alber is a foster son in Yves Saint Laurent, then Alber in Lanvin reminds me of the night watchman in the game of rights.

Remember the night watchman's oath?

"The night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die.

I will not take a wife, no land, no child.

I will not wear a crown and I will not fight for glory.

I will be loyal to my life and death.

I dedicate my life and glory to the night watchman tonight.

Alber Elbaz in Lanvin, just like this night watchman's oath, has long been rooted in people's minds. After all, 14 years ago, without a word, where is the Lanvin now?

(this is quite different from RAF's feelings for Dior).

Small files:

Alber Elbaz was born in 1961 in Casablanca, a famous small town in Morocco, North Africa. His father is a Jew, barber, and his mother is a Spanish artist.

In 1970, the family emigrated to Israel Tel Aviv, graduated from Shenker College of Texitile and Fashion.

In 1986, Alber Elbaz went to New York to work for American designer Geoffrey Beene.

In 1996, he moved to Paris to become the creative director of Guy Laroche.

In 1998, Alber Elbaz gave the design director to the left bank of the YSL (YSL Rive Gauche) as the senior designer of women's clothing. Unfortunately, the brand was bought by Gucci (GUCCI) group. Otherwise, Albert Elbaz will replace Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, and become the design director of Yves Saint Laurent (YSL).

After leaving from YSL, Alber Elbaz joined the Italy fashion house Krizia and designed a highly acclaimed series.

Unfortunately, the environment of Krizia is not suitable for Albert Elbaz, and soon Albert Elbaz leaves.

In 2001, Alber Elbaz was appointed Lanvin director of art.

Since Alber Elbaz launched the first women's wear for the Lanvin Lavin2002 autumn series, his clank oath "wakes up the sleeping beauty of Lanvin!"

"Has become a real miracle that makes everyone's heart surge.

In 2007, Alber Elbaz was named "the 100 most influential figures in the world" by Time magazine.

American Edition Vouge editor in chief Anna Wintour also gives him the reputation of "one of the top 3 fashion designers in the world".

It took 14 years to do this, and Alber, who was cautious and conscientious, chose to leave today.

He said, "I like to understand women, and my designs are dedicated to women I love.

Therefore, my design is not to highlight the beauty of fashion, but the charm of women.

Lanvin style humor

"Other boys like to draw planes and draw tanks on paper. I only paint skirts."

Alber said.

Painting is not a "necessity" for fashion designers. Some designers use their mouths to say inspiration. Some designers cut their own ideas directly on the stage. Alber is putting all her time on paper, which cute dolls are wearing long eyelashes, wearing colorful Lanvin dresses, and adorned with handwritten fonts and some hand drawn graphics that follow emotions. These lovely elements almost fill the brand's entire visual system, they are Alber and also represent Lanvin.

Those weird shopping bags and small fans

Late night in the messy and shabby position for everyone to take a cute little fan Lanvin, think this may be out of print is sad, fortunately, there is another piece of goods in the editor's home, secretly secretly pleased!

Although Lanvin's clothes are still expensive, when you go home with such a cute shopping bag, you still feel full of satisfaction.

It is shameless to say that this card also has a set of cards in my family. It was still 12 years after Lanvin got a show in Beijing, and after a year, he couldn't bear to open it. After opening it, I found that none of the above paintings were pleasant surprises.

How can you not love this kind of Lanvin?!

Alber Elbaz can always reinterpret women's charm through its unique fashion style, and create a modern luxury style.

His style coincides with that of Lanc me Lancome, which is a brand symbol to show women's happiness and happiness.

After the engagement of Lady Gaga with her boyfriend Taylor Kinney this year, a warm competitive game began. Designers scrambled for her wedding dress.

Karl, Dianevon Furstenberg, Viktor& Rolf and so on are designed to attack one another, but they still like Alber's humorous and drafts.

Let's see Alber Elbaz design a classic Lanvin cartoon for Mickey Mouse role Minnie Mouse.

Alber Elbaz said in an interview with WWD: "when I designed two skirts for her, she knew very well which one to pick.

She likes to show her high heels and love earrings, jewelry, colorful colors and everything that shines.

What did Alber Elbaz bring to us in 14 years?

Since the appointment of Lanvin art director in October 2001, one of the "Sleeping Beauty" fashion miracles created by Alber Elbaz has been said, "little fat" Alber Elbaz is the most understanding woman in the world.

Let's enjoy these women's hearts.
