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.
