The designer and the management of the Parisian fashion house went to court to find out the relationship there.
As you know, Alber Elbaz left the Lanvin house last month after 14 years as a creative director. It soon became clear that Elbaz was forced to resign by the owner of the company Shou-Lan Wang and CEO Michelle Yuyban. The reasons for the termination of the contract were the designer's lack of creative projects and aggression towards the company's management. To finally sort out the relationship, both parties went to the courtroom.
According to Elbaz's lawyer, firing a designer could cost the company between £ 14 million and £ 28 million. The designer's defender, alluding to the incompetence of Lanvin's senior management, also remarked that they had no idea of the financial implications of the layoff. For their part, Shaw-Lan Wang's lawyers are attempting to ban the company's employees from using e-mail and instant messengers to exchange information about the dismissal of a designer. According to the side, these messages are cruel and demeaning.
