Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes

ALBER ELBAZ - in memoriam

Season 4, Ep. 3

Many of you heard the sad news of Suzy’s dear friend Alber Elbaz who passed away this weekend - another victim of Covid 19 


Over the next few weeks - so much will be written about this THIS exceptional & thoughtful designer who loved & wanted to support women.

 

But as a TRIBUTE to Alber, and as a gesture to the remarkable person he was, we are re-issuing the podcast recorded nearly a year ago. 


The best way to remember Alber will be to hear him speak - as when he talked it was such joyous company to be in.


Here are his words and his laughter.
