Alber Elbaz Is Not Joining Forces With Apple
It’s just the first day in 2018, and Alber Elbaz is already in the rumor-mill. The rumors of the him joining Apple are completely false. Sources denied there’s anything between Elbaz and Apple in the works.
Sources told WWD “that there is no collaboration or business partnership between the well-known designer and the tech powerhouse after speculation appeared in a small European media outlet.”
Alber Elbaz was shockingly fired from Lanvin in 2015, after 14 years at the house (see it here). Lanvin is on its second designer since Elbaz, his replacement, Bouchra Jarrar left the troubled house last July after 15 months and two collection (see it here), French designer Olivier Lapidus is Jarrar‘s successor (see it here).
Elbaz has been keeping himself busy since leaving the French house. He’s designed a Converse sneaker, released a limited-edition makeup line with Lancôme, created a fragrance with French perfumer Frédéric Malle, and been recognized by the French government as a Commander of the Legion of Honor.
