Select Source

High pressure on a quest for perfection: the 48 hours leading up to the Lanvin fashion show, led by a maestro - Alber Elbaz. Season after season, he notches up the levels on the applause meter, and can pride himself on having put Lanvin back on the international fashion scène. Alber Elbaz grew up in Holon, near Tel Aviv. He went on to work for Yves Saint Laurent. His sharp wit and an indecisiveness bordering on neurosis have earned him a reputation as the Woody Allen of the fashion world, yet he is considered to be one of the last grand masters of drapery. From the design studio to the ateliers, this film immerses the viewer in a creative marathon.
