AZ Factory revealed the names of the 44 houses and designers that will take part in the Love Brings Love Fashion Show in honor of Alber Elbaz. Among the international list of participating designers, several sit at the helm of historic houses, some lead their own eponymous labels, while others are today’s emerging talents. Each designer will provide a look for the occasion, a bespoke creation inspired by Alber’s legacy, or a special take on an iconic silhouette.
The show’s concept is inspired by Théâtre de la Mode, a 1945 Parisian exhibition that brought together over sixty French couturiers as a beautiful expression of creativity, prestige, and solidarity in the wake of World War II. Fascinated by this uplifting story, Alber had long dreamt of uniting his wider fashion family for a new, modern iteration of its own. This year, with the help of all those who loved him, AZ Factory will bring Alber’s biggest dream to life.
