    Elbaz To Get Legion of Honor




    Godfrey Deeny

    December 28th, 2006 @ 00:23 AM - Paris



    Lanvin
    Creative Director Alber Elbaz is to be awarded the Legion of Honor, the
    latest designer to garner the prestigious French prize.



    Elbaz will receive the award on January 25, the Thursday sandwiched
    between the upcoming French haute couture and men's ready-to-wear
    collections.



    France?s Minister of Culture Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres will
    present Elbaz in the Palais Royal, the traditional place for such a
    presentation for creative types. Everyone from Jack Nicholson to
    Valentino got their ribbon in the grand and gilded salon of the
    Ministry of Culture on rue de Valois, the heart of the Palais Royal,
    arguably the world?s most beautiful apartment building.



    Elbaz, widely regarded as one of the half dozen designers who
    influences global fashion trends, will get his award at noon on that
    day. Already this year, Donnedieu de Vabres has presented Valentino and
    Odile Gilbert, who to many is fashion?s most important runway hair
    stylist, with similar awards.



    Under Elbaz, Lanvin, a venerable label owned by the Wang family of
    Taiwan, probably dresses more red carpet stars than any other major
    fashion house ? and without giving away the clothes for free.



    Since being appointed in 2001, the Israel-national Elbaz has made
    Lanvin?s show into one of the chicest presentations in fashion
    anywhere.



    Enormously popular for his panache, lack of pretension, honesty and
    exceptional talent, Elbaz?s award will be very well received in fashion
    and in France.

    Good for him, although I don't think his work is anything exciting. BTW, his menswear was HUGE dud at Barneys - practically everything hangs there on clearance sale (well, at those insane prices they TRIED to charge, it's still ain't cheap).
