Alber Elbaz recently returned from Africa (his birthplace), for a post he will be taking on soon as a UNICEF Ambassador, mix that experience with his traditional Lanvin draping, chunky jewellery and luxurious fabrics and you basically got the ingredients of his triumphant Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Shoulders got plenty of attention in this collection; they came in various forms and shapes and in diverse fabrics from outwear to dresses. Fabrics include jersey (in trend for Fall/Winter 2010), gold and green lame, and some feathers here and there. The general vibe in this collection seemed to incorporate more masculine elements than previous collections, an attractive element we might add. “Women ask for masculine tailoring, but they want to feel fragile. They want daywear, but buy evening. I designed a whole lot of draped things, but then it looked like too much. An overdose of fashion” said Alber Elbaz of his prevailing passion to satisfy women’s needs.
