Alber Elbaz tells WWD, “I always think if I were an editor and I was invited to a show and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate. Maybe I would love to enjoy a sandwich.” Regarding his ten-year anniversary at Lanvin, he says,  “No proudest achievements… I feel ten years older, but no more relaxed.”
