Alber Elbaz
The Dream Factory
Design Museum, Holon
2022
Curator - Ya’ara Keydar
Chief Curator - Maya Dvash
Creative Director - Katy Reiss
The entire museum was dedicated to the inspirational and creative life of the acclaimed fashion designer Alber Elbaz, who passed away last year due to COVID-19. The exhibition “Alber Elbaz: The Dream Factory” included couture pieces, rare archival material, personal objects and photos shown to the public for the first time. Included is the debut collection Elbaz designed for his brand AZ Factory, which was displayed in a museum for the first time. As part of the exhibition, ensembles from the Love Brings Love tribute fashion show were on display in a new multi-media format specially designed for this exhibition. ​Love Brings Love was an unprecedented event in the history of international fashion that was initiated by Alber’s partner Alex Koo and AZ Factory. 46 of the leading fashion houses in the world (Dior, Gucci, Balenciaga, McQueen, and more) came together for this show and created tributes in honor of Elbaz’s memory.
