October 3rd, the designer Alber Elbaz has been made Officer of the Legion of Honour by the Culture Minister, Audrey Azoulay, a distinction received in the middle of Fashion Week, in front of several celebrities.

The ceremony took place rue de Valois in Paris, in the presence of Demi Moore, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Anna Wintour; “ What a great front row! ” shouted the designer. Alber Elbaz remained 14 years as Lanvin’s artistic director before being ousted in October 2015, which had raised a stir in the fashion world.

The French Culture Minister went back on the carrer of the Israeli-American designer from Casablanca to Tel Aviv, where he grew up, and then New York and Paris. " France is proud of a man who owes his life to his talent and his work, " she said.
