Alber Elbaz of Lanvin is known in the fashion world for being a trendsetter. While the clothing in this collection is great, his styling notes are somewhat creepy.
Many of his models went down the runway looking as though they were predators who had been recruited out of the bushes in someone’s yard. Their faces were shielded with visors, and they were wearing big bizarre sunglasses. Some of Alber Elbaz’s models even had badly drawn in moustaches, and one guy wasn’t even wearing pants!
Well, I guess stalkers and creeps need clothing too, but I am not sure that is what Alber Elbaz had in mind for his Spring 2010 menswear collection.
