Professionally, Elbaz was best known for his groundbreaking work at Lanvin; prior to that, he was creative director of Rive Gauche at Yves Saint Laurent and Guy Laroche. In 2019, he started a new line, AZ Factory.
It certainly brought out family and friends, including the designers Dries Van Noten and Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino; the fashion executives Sidney Toledano of LVMH, François-Henri Pinault of Kering, and Diego Della Valli of Tod’s and Schiaparelli; the actress Demi Moore, and Brigitte Macron, the wife of the French president. Elbaz’s longtime partner, Alex Koo, organized the event. As part of it, about 45 designers made garments in tribute to Elbaz.

“Alber envisioned a new Théâtre de la Mode for today,” Koo said. “His dream was to reunite the best talents of our industry to celebrate love, beauty, and hope.”
