2012 marks Elbaz’s tenth year as creative director at Lanvin, and the upcoming release of his first book – which he describes as being made in his own image: “Small and fat!” The 700-page book, which includes mostly photos with some text mixed in, will document everything that goes into creating a Lanvin collection. Fingers crossed, it also has some helpful tips on how best to achieve success in life, Alber Elbaz-style. And of course, we can’t wait to see his latest Lanvin F/W collection this March. Happy 10th anniversary, Alber!
