" Elie Top sits in Paris living room. Photography by Todd Selby for Fashionable Selby. Through a candid stew of photography, doodles, and text, Todd Selby illustrates a fantastical narrative of Lanvin&amp;#039;s in-house jewelry designer Elie Top&amp;#039;s day-to-day work life in a new book Fashionable Selby. Top has honed his skills working alongside Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz since 1998 (before that, he was at Yves Saint Laurent as a designer in accessories where he frequently collaborated with muse Loulou de la Falaise). &amp;quot;Avoiding precious stones in favor of larger-than-life costume jewelry, he makes pieces that are unrestricted by color, size, or cut,&amp;quot; Selby pens in chapter 4. Top&amp;#039;s fascination with gobstopper-sized faux gems crafted into eclectic wearable art pieces also extends to his home, where artfully mixes high and low, new and old, and bright and dull.  Top designs a brooch inspired by antique jewelry. Photography by Todd Selby for Fashionable Selby.  Top at work at Lanvin&amp;#039;s atelier. Photography by Todd Selby for Fashionable Selby.
