The 49-year-old, who was born in Morocco but moved to Israel as a child, is a graduate of the prestigious Shenkar College in Ramat Gan.
He has worked with several high profile fashion names, from Dawn Mello of Gucci to couture house Guy Laroche.
Mr Elbaz’s Lanvin designs normally sell for £1,000 or more and have been worn by Hollywood stars including Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman.
The designer said the collection would enable him to translate the Lanvin “dream” to a bigger audience.
He said: “I loved the idea that H&M was going luxury. I thought it was a smart concept.”
