The 30 Best Looks by Alber Elbaz at Lanvin The 30 Best Looks by Alber Elbaz at Lanvin Alber Elbaz Lanvin Silk Printed Floral Embroidered Strapless Dress The 30 Best Looks by Alber Elbaz at Lanvin. This is a very pretty piece from Resort 2012 that is the twin of Look 4 in the presentation. Alber joined Lanvin in 2001 and served as the label's Creative Director until 2015. His first break as a designer came when he landed the senior assistant role at Geoffrey Beene. He stayed there for seven years until he was recruited to design for the Guy Laroche label in 1996. in 1998 he took over the Rive Gauche ready to wear for Yves Saint Laurent for three short seasons. A stint at Krizia and then a break happened before his time with Lanvin. The Alber years for Lanvin are ones that are much loved by all and with his recent passing owning these pieces seems even more poignant. This is the softest feeling of the three skirts I have today. Even though they all have some similarities, this one is made from a lighter and more flowing feeling silk so it tends to fall a little straighter went on. The lightness also lets it have very pretty movement once you move. It falls from the waist in four tiers of fabric with an added ruffle around the first tier just under the hips. It widens out as it near the floor and there is a tremendous amount of fabric in it. The silk has an almost jersey to it which gives it a bit more of a relaxed, casual feel. It has that perfect vacation vibe and you could see slipping this on over a bikini or even just wearing it out for day with a T shirt and then being able to dress it up at night time. It is very pretty and very versatile. And it has pockets. Excellent condition. Unlined and closes with a hidden set zipper at the side. Tagged a Lavin 42.
