'3rd October 2013 (news)

Designer Marc Jacobs is leaving the luxury goods firm Louis Vuitton, to focus on his own brand.

Chloe Paddington

 

Chloe  bag in mint condition.

SOLD

Phoebe Philo was responsible for making Chloé’s baby-doll dresses, high-waisted jeans, wooden wedges, and bags into cult items that disappeared instantly from boutique shelves. Every one of the 8,000 Paddington bags made for spring 2005 delivery, Vogue reported, was spoken for before arriving in shops. (Some of her hits no doubt made fortunes for chain shops churning out knockoffs, too.)Philo’s work at Chloé was free-spirited and fun, with a vintage vibe that hit just the right note in those pre–Great Recession days. “My relationship with fashion is playful,” Philo told Vogue in 2005, “and very expressive of what I’m feeling at the time.”

Chloé is founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisienne with a dark beauty and a bohemian spirit. Rejecting the stiff formality of the 50’s fashion, she creates soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics and called them “luxury prêt-à-porter”. Unique for their time, they are beautifully made clothes available off the rack.

Today, just like Grace Kelly and Maria Callas did before them, young stars like Kirsten Dunst, Clémence Poésy and Jessica Alba fall in love with the soft elegance of the French house.
More than fifty years after Gaby Aghion imagined it, Chloé's vision of romantic, ultra feminine fashion lives on.

Patrizia Pepe fire engine red dress with Versace corset heels.

I love the simple sexiness of the dress with the 'come #***# me' feel of the shoes.

'You could count on one hand the number of fashion houses that enjoy the mass name recognition that Versace does across the globe. Today, under the leadership of Donatella Versace just as in the eighties and nineties when the brand was run by her brother, Gianni it is a universal symbol of all that is glamorous and decadent. Versace doesn’t make clothes that are avant-garde, arty, or untouchably elegant; it makes clothes for red-carpet photo calls in Cannes and parties aboard a rap mogul’s mega-yacht at anchor in Monaco.'

Elvira, Elvira, my hearts on fire........

 

 























 Patrizia Pepe - This is a designer I covet. I have been collecting their pieces for over 15 years. It all started for me in New York and the lust and crave for all things Patrizia Pepe continues.


The Patrizia Pepe brand was founded in Florence in 1993.
The protagonists are a couple of entrepreneurs: Patrizia Bambi, the creative and stylistic spirit and Claudio Orrea, head of management and administration.
The Patrizia Pepe brand evolved from another of their creations, the Tessilform textile manufacturing company. The brand is based on a particularly successful philosophy; Patrizia Bambi pays great attention to the fashion universe and the market where she presents her ideal man and woman.
Her collections manifest well groomed minimalism combined with a passion for details. Her clothing style is based on harmony, suppleness, character. Practical and original for every moment of the day, whilst also being unfailingly elegant and modern for every moment of the night.

 “When I started my line, there was a void in the marketplace,” Karan said in 1994. “Everyone was doing ball gowns, pouf skirts, and Christian Lacroix, and the executive woman was having to wear a bow tie and sneakers to work. Ridiculous!”

"I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable. I think there is a part of fashion that is certainly work that we do in both places [Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton] that are very, very high end, and their rarity is what makes them so desirable because they are limited or produced in such small numbers and they are very unreachable to most people, but then we also love, at Marc Jacobs, to do things like key rings and flip-flops that are available to just about anybody. I mean, they are very honest products with very low price tags and I think its much more modern to cover both ends of the spectrum." Marc Jacobs
