Alber Elbaz to design jeans for Acne
Alber Elbaz, chief designer at Lanvin and all round fashion genius is to design a denim collection for Acne Jeans.
'It's time to go back to a product that has a dream to it.' said Elbaz of his new collaboration. 'What kind of jeans can I bring that will be a Lanvin jean and Acne spirit infused in one?" We will find out he answer in 2009 when the jeans will hit stores, as of yet, no official launch date has been set as Alber revealed on Monday night in New York, contracts are yet to be finalised.
However, this is just the first of many new projects for the designer, following on from the launch of Lanvin Bridal earlier this year. 'It's the first of several niches I'd like to build.' he said. But he remained tight lipped about what else we can expect. Could Lanvin sportswear be next?

With the kind of weather we are having it's no wonder we are rather joyous at the prospect of Luella Bartley's Autumn/Winter collection arriving next week, and at the wondrous high street fashion store that is Urban Oufitters no less. There will be gothic checks, Russian inspired embroidery, spotted, black and spidery print chiffons. Get in line fast as Luella's line taps into the Autumn's hottest trend of punk and gothic and is sure to fly out.
Meanwhile at Topshop, leading Parisien lingerie designer Fifi Chachnil has created a special collection just for the store - a collection of 50s inspired silk lingerie available from 20 July. Naughty but very very nice.
