It is true that sometimes the artist is more of a masterpiece than their art. That their personality shines brighter than the canvas, pages, fabric and whatnot. I can think of a couple off the bat- Any Warhol, Mark Twain, and who I'd like to focus on- Alber Elbaz. Alber is the head designer at the house of Lanvin (pronounced Lawn-van) and the teddy bear of the fashion world. He is just like a teddy bear, except that when you squeeze him he doesn't say I love you, but instead sprouts little beautiful nothings like, “If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.” Or how about the classic, "Men are beautiful and women are strong?" He also comes in a suit, philosopher glasses, and a giant yellow bow tie! Buy one now on amazon.com. Not really, but a girl can dream. Here's a video of Alber rolling out his teachings to The New York Times.
