After yesterday’s sad news had hit me, I thought I would post this lovely happy picture of Alber Elbaz with the Brazilian model Caroline Trentini from Lanvin Atelier in Paris, September 2004. If you like me, still speechless, after this revealing news especially after having starting to digest last week’s chock of Raf Simons leaving Dior – I would suggest you to listen to this love video or ready Sarah Mower’s touching article here to feel better.

It would only be right to bring the man of “flou” back to Yves Saint Laurent Couture House, or what do you say?
