An exhibition about the life and creative work of fashion designer and former Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz opened on Sept. 15 in the Israeli city of Holon, where he spent his childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlber Elbaz: The Dream Factory,<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a>\u00a0at the Design Museum Holon is the most extensive exhibition about the designer, who was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and grew up in Holon. The exhibit takes over the entire museum, featuring nine galleries that spotlights more than 100 of Elbaz\u2019s designs, 300 photographs, personal items and never-before-seen archival material, including images of Elbaz as a child and sketches from his childhood, according to\u00a0Vogue<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first gallery in the exhibit features clothing from AZ Factory, the label Elbaz launched in January 2021 three months before he died at the age of 59 from COVID-19. Another room in the exhibit is called \u201cLove is Love,\u201d which was the same name as the Paris fashion show held in Elbaz\u2019s honor after his death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Original couture looks from the \u201cLove Brings Love\u201d tribute show are on display in a multi-media format specially designed for the exhibit. Visitors will see many of the designs showcased at the Paris fashion show and created by 46 of the world\u2019s leading designers, including Gucci, Balenciaga, McQueen, Valentino, Versace and Dior.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit also includes a 180-foot corridor that highlights quotes, childhood toys, fashion illustrations and mementos, including Elbaz\u2019s trademark bowtie and glasses, a pencil case, and a thimble gifted to him that once belonged to Margit Singer, a seamstress who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp due to her sewing skills. The hallway ends with a gold lam\u00e9 dress Elbaz designed for actress Meryl Streep, who wore the gown when she won her Academy Award for \u201cThe Iron Lady\u201d in 2012. Streep gifted the dress to the museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elbaz, who was the creative director of Lanvin from 2001 to 2015, also worked with Geoffrey Beene, Guy Laroche and Yves Saint Laurent throughout his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit\u2019s creative director, Katy Reiss, worked with Elbaz for 15 years and directed the \u201cLove Brings Love\u201d fashion show in Paris. Reiss told\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0that she and Ya\u2019ara Keydar, the exhibit\u2019s curator, tried to hold back from making the exhibit too sentimental or comprehensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlber shivered at the thought of a retrospective,\u201d Reiss said. \u201cHe told me he wanted people to see how he works, why he works, and the love he has for his work. It felt important to share an overview but not dwell too much \u2026We want people to go through a whirlwind of emotions and leave smiling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keydar added, \u201cAlber was known not only for his unique talent and visionary approach but for his rare ability to touch people\u2019s hearts. We hope to do the same and inspire visitors to dream forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlber Elbaz: The Dream Factory\u201d will remain open at the Design Museum Holon until March 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
