Alber Elbaz is not your typical fashion designer. Not only does he look a bit different than most fashion designers, his life has also not been spent in the glitz and glamour of Paris until he became one of the world’s best fashion designers.

You see, Alber Elbaz was born in the city of Casablanca in Morocco, in 1961. His whole family emigrated to Israel when Alber was 10, and he grow up in the working class neighborhoods of the city of Holon. After having served in the army, he studied at Israel’s finest design school – Shenkar College of Engineering and Design and moved to New York City in 1987. He worked for a manufacturer of typical “mother-of-the-bride clothing” in New York for around 2 years, and then moved on to Geoffrey Beene, where he worked for 7 years. This was his stepping stone to the big league. Alber Elbaz worked for Guy Laroche between 1997-1998 and for Yves Saint Laurent, before being hired as the artistic director for the fashion house of Lanvin in 2001.

L.A.-based designer Juan Carlos Obando took the idea of razor-sharp tailoring and beat us over the head with it.

Working in a drab palette of sand, gray and black, he showed super skinny worsted wool trousers that were totally spare aside from spiraling seams, and sleeveless belted shift dresses pared down except for a few curve enhancing stitches.

Although he should be applauded for his rigorous technique, this collection needed some eye candy beyond shoe designer George Esquivel’s laced boot extensions.

It didn’t help that it was all a build-up to a finale of gowns with micro plisse bodices, something we’ve seen from him many times before.

 DKNY remixes the classics

The classics remixed. That was the takeaway from the fall DKNY line, a compelling mash-up of menswear- inspired equestrian plaids, Bauhaus grids and Deco florals. Schoolgirl pleated skirts came in mixed plaids and checks, and Angora wool coats were oversized and man-tailored, some with contrast leather piping.

Bands of electric blue sequins livened up the camel, gray, burgundy and black sweaters and scarves in geometric collage patterns. And for evening, short dresses shined with metallic patches of beads and sequins.
