On April 24, 2021, the designer Alber Elbaz passed away due to
complications from Covid-19. The artistic director of the House of
Lanvin from 2001 to 2016, he was the most consequential figure from
the fashion community lost to the pandemic. Love Brings Love, the
celebration of Alber Elbaz s life and work that concluded Paris
Fashion Week on October 5, 2021 remains a unique event in the
recent history of the industry. In tribute, 44 designers, from
nearly all the French and Italian maisons, to his dear friends in
Japan and the United States, created dresses for a memorial fashion
show the first collaborative one to have ever been held in Paris.
Of the over 70 looks, thirty were by Alber, posthumously executed
by his team at AZ Factory. The international fashion community came
as one family to publicly mourn and remember one of their own, with
a reverence and affection reserved only to someone so universally
and genuinely loved. The book is divided into three parts, which
includes texts written by Alber prior to his passing, a sequence of
sketches by 44 designers/maisons, including Alexander McQueen,
Balenciaga, Comme des Garcons, Giambattista Valli, Gucci, John Paul
Gaultier, Rick Owens, Valentino, on uncoated stock, and a section
of completed dresses, including dresses designed by Alber, on matte
coated stock. The sequence describes in ways both conceptual and
material how his friends and peers saw him, and how they intimately
honored his memory with their own work.
