We have decided that we have a special drawer in Albert's heart.

At Grandma's house everyone was excited when you came to the country ... You taught me to dream big, little boy first knew who it was Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour.We would look at you in a behind-the-scenes show, the greatest designer in the world.You made sure someone always came to the family for shows.What sets you apart? Could you influence people in an inspiring way.Alber was always afraid to be alone.My Alberto.Never be Own".

He listened and did not dictate to women how to dress. He did not marry to make us a fantasy object but he saw reality, and sensitively designed And in empathy. Became a successful sleepy fashion house whose eyes are on him. He has not given up on personal handwriting. In recent years he felt something was creaking in the fashion world, the solution he proposed was a combination of fashion and technology. I will arrive three weeks before and study them, but I will draw attention to the final show, and do not want to take the attention away from you that you finish after 22 years. "
Ronald Cohen, Elbaz's good friend, praised him: "You are taken away from us suddenly. It's not fair, in the middle of your dreams to put fashion in a new way. I speak on behalf of all your good friends, we share the grief of your partner Alex for 28 years. "The Pyramid of Fashion. Your talent Zohar touches our soul with your generosity. You leave the world you are admired to love. The world will be lacking without you."

You touched the heart of everyone you knew, to the woman who cleaned your office "You said: 'Love brings love.' I feel I have lost the past, present and future. I am lost without you. You said I am your rock but you are my rock."
