Alber Elbaz, iconic fashion designer and creative director at Lanvin, is writing his first book, scheduled for release early 2012.

The 700-page tome will be a comprehensive guide to the design and production methods required to create a fashion collection.

The first several pages will remain empty, reported the Los Angeles Times, to evoke his daily creative process. “That is how I start every day,” he divulged.

For its Fall 2011 campaign video, shot by fashion photographer Steven Meisel, the sophisticated Lanvin chose Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me” as its title track.

Starring supers Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann – as well as a pair of dashing male models – the video sees the models getting their grove on.

The campaign has everything you have come to expect from Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz — ultra-feminine designs, stunning silhouettes, and glamorous accessories.

After its recent store openings in Los Angeles, Milan and Beijing, Lanvin has launched its new European e-Lanvin store.

Lanvin’s dynamic style, the spirit of Alber Elbaz, and the creative wealth of its collections are showcased in this new e-store.

Indeed, Lanvin delights in so many ways. As a first stop, visitors should enter the ♥ Hot Picks section to discover the must-haves from each collection.

David Bellemere photographed Heloise Guerin for the Lanvin “Marry Me” fragrance campaign in Paris on March 8, 2010.

Fashionistas swarmed H&M’s Champs Elysees flagship store Tuesday, after queuing through the night to get their hands on a party dress from Lanvin’s limited edition collection for the budget chain.

The line by Lanvin’s Israeli designer Alber Elbaz went on sale in 200 H&M stores worldwide after a pre-launch Saturday in North America,.

“It’s Lanvin — that’s reason enough to wait more than 10 hours, asleep on our feet,” said Dasol Kang, from South Korea, one of the hundreds of customers who pressed through the doors of the Paris store when they opened at 8:00 am.

Bid now through November 26 in an online auction of customized unique haute couture looks styled by Alber Elbaz from the Lanvin for H&M collection.

The 19 women’s looks were revealed on November 18 at a fashion show at The Pierre Hotel in New York.

Elbaz’ one-off creations were strutted on the runway by models Asia Chow, Pixie Geldof, Dree Hemingway, Olga and Vogue Nippon editor Anna Dello Russo.
