Sunday afternoon, Cabala.In addition to resuming the labor routine, Alber Elbaz (Casablanca, Morocco, 1961) three personal goals had been proposed, to meet once a week: teach, share their knowledge with others;work as a volunteer in a hospital;And study, keep learning."The first two tasks have not yet been able to attack them.Suddenly the pandemic arrived and everything was suspended.The situation in schools is complicated and, honestly, the idea of stepping on a hospital scares me, ”he confessed."So I only have the study.It was something I needed.I am reading a lot of Kabbalistic Philosophy.And you don't know how much fashion there is in the cabal, it would surprise you ”.Here is a designer who believed in karma, the transcendent energy that we generate with our actions, that what you do will be more than more than the universe, the divinity or whatever they want to call it;A belief that also participates the esoteric school of Judaism (that's the cabal, or Kabbalah, yes, Madonna's).

That Alber Elbaz has done nothing but practicing good was clear with his return: there has been no other colleague of profession more expected, loved and pulled on his return, not to be remembered in five years.Since his fashion return was announced, in 2019, expectation, desire and comecome have served hot.“You know what they say: you are as good as your next story.And I am always thinking about how next I will do, how I will face whatever comes.I never give anything for granted.In fact, success has increased my anxiety against the future ”.We talked a few days after the presentation of Fashion Show, the short film in which, as the host of a Talk Show, explained with hairs and signs the project that had returned the illusion for his trade, Az Factory.“It has to do with the changes that have occurred in me, it is my current fashion philosophy.We live in a strange moment, in which we have gone from that image of Fashion Week - the pink jacket, the yellow hat, the leopard print - to dress with a black sweatshirt or a white shirt.Then I wonder: Why do we create fashion?Is it for us or others?Do we do it to promote something or someone?It is an issue on which I have reflected a lot during the time I have been separated ".
