Description
Summary:Moroccan-born Elbaz moved to New York City at the age of 26 to work for Geoffrey Beene, and left New York in 1997 to design for Guy Laroche. Within a year, he caught the eye of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge, and was asked to design the pret-a-porter for YSL. With the unexpected sale of YSL to the Gucci group in 1999, Elbaz was out of a job. In 2001 Elbaz found himself at the dusty house of Lanvin. His style has evolved into a combination of free-form creativity and refined couture techniques.
