In an odd pairing of fashion titans, former Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz is thought to be collaborating with Converse on a limited edition sneaker collection.

Known for his feminine and romantic clothing, the Moroccan-Israeli fashion designer has reportedly created a shoe for the Nike-owned brand, to be released in its Japanese market. It is thought more details on the collaboration and release will be revealed in early 2017.

Elbaz is no stranger to luxury sneakers and is widely credited with popularising them during his 14-year tenure at Lanvin. Elbaz was ousted in October 2015 but has kept him self busy with speaking engagements, a collaboration with perfumer Frederic Malle and being recognised by the French government with the prestigious Commander of the Legion of Honour during fashion week.
