Alber Elbaz on Lanvin
"Mr. Saint Laurent told me when he would take a piece of fabric, he would throw it on [the model] and then he would ask the model to make it happen. That was the story of the collection: You don't wear it; you just put it on."

i love that quote

 

[AlexN]

^Yes, that's wonderful.

 

[dior4ever]

his collections are very refined they can be very girly or very woman i find his collections very romantic almost fragile the shoes are always very fit perfectly with his collections, he told me " i want to re-introduce fragility and emotion to fashion,my way"

althought i thibk he needs to change a bit beacuse i know what expect of him all his collections are very similar.

That's awesome, dior4ever. What was he like? What else did he say?

 

[dior4ever]

he is very confident about his collections he knew what he was talking about not shy at all,and we just talked about the collection and i asked him if he was happy this colection was over and he replied im already thinking about the next one..and the typical how are you etc.

 

[Lucia-]

It looks so soft and elegant

 

[evexa]

Ok I guess. Couple of nice pieces.
I am not over the moon though like I was with his last A/W collection.

cool ...
thanks for sharing your firsthand info...

it's funny...because when i was consulting for a particular designer...
we worked on just the opposite...showing the 'strength' of women...
the tagline i came up with was...
'the myth of fragility shatters'...

*rather ironic that a man would focus on the fragility of women...
while women want to focus on their own strength...

That is interesting. I think a combination is good; I find both strength and fragility beautiful in a woman.

 

[softgrey]

well...all women and men have both...
it's just a matter of what one chooses to focus on...

 

[AlexN]

I mean in clothes...I like a combination.

 

[softgrey]

well..that's not what you said......
you said in a woman...

 

[AlexN]

Okay, I'll rephrase...

I find strength and fragility in a woman equally beautiful, so I like to see clothes that have a combination of the two.

 

[softgrey]

i would have to agree with your very well worded statement alex..
