Everyone Loves Lanvin and Alber Elbaz's Voice

In his tenth year as man of the Lanvin house, Alber Elbaz dazzled crowds at his Paris runway show. The bow-tied, bespectacled designer is one of the most well-liked names in fashion; he’s hospitable, humble, and knows how to make clothes that flatter a woman’s body. Elbaz provides delicious treats at every show.

"I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark, or in the cold, or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.," Elbaz told WWD. "Maybe I would love to enjoy a sandwich."

As far as Lanvin's fall 2012 RTW collection went, we saw lots of ruffles. (The good kind.) Every piece seemed to wrap around just right. As a whole, the looks had everything in every color. Lanvin’s pieces covered plenty of ground from solid, bold hues to black, brocade and jeweled patterns, including cinched belts and soft textures. At the end of the show, Elbaz sang “Que Sera Sera” with a band accompaniment. Even though he was self-conscious about his singing voice, Elbaz managed to make everyone smile, since critics and guests alike described it with one word: adorable.
