Could Alber Elbaz be set to take the reins at Oscar de la Renta?

Oscar de la Renta has allegedly got its eye on fashion designer Alber Elbaz as a potential Creative Director, following Peter Copping's departure from the brand in July. Moroccan-born Israeli designer Elbaz helmed the Parisian house of Lanvin for 14 years, before leaving the company in October 2015 due to reported tensions with its owner Shaw-Lan Wang. Rumors abounded that Elbaz was being lined up for the new Dior post, but they proved erroneous — Dior relied on the expertise of its in-house design team until this July, when it appointed ex-Valentino designer Maria Grazia Chiuri as its head creative, and Elbaz has remained a free agent. Lanvin replaced him with the French designer Bouchra Jarrar.
