Coco Avant Chanel

I have always loved pyjama’s; not the tight cropped t-shit set designed for women, but the vintage men’s cut.
After seeing the movie Coco avant Chanel, I just had to have several pairs made up.

Sophia Coppola designed a set for Louis Vuitton that is worthy of a night on the town. So glamorous!

Madeline Weinrib does fashion!

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Our very own Madeline Weinrib has paired up with Argentinean designer Soledad Twombly, designer of the label SOLE by Soledad Twombly. Soledad just launched a new collection in New York  that incorporates the fabrics from our ikat queen.

The collection’s fifteen pieces celebrate Twombly’s love for exotic Central Asian textiles, mixing Weinrib’s signature handmade ikats with Twombly’s signature rich Italian fabrics like velvets.

Congratulations to both Madeline and Soledad, the pieces are to die for.

Yves Saint Laurent

Monday, September 6th, 2010

The fabulous man that once said, “Fashion fades. Style is eternal” is of course Yves Saint Laurent. I am sure you will agree the late Yves Saint Laurent was a brilliant, talented and extremely influential designer.

Friday just gone my husband and I went to see ‘Celebration’ to learn more about Saint Laurent. We knew he had sadly suffered from addictions and depression but we did not know of the extent the film reveals. Banned in France, director Olivier Meyrou goes behind the glamorous scenes of Saint Laurent’s world, to reveal a fragile, mysterious and tortured artist.

Despite the sadness in his life, Saint Laurent still managed to create some of the most iconic clothing of all times. We have him to thank for the safari look, the tuxedo for women, and some of the most beautiful dresses ever created.

He was the king of cutting-edge couture who, by rewriting the rules of fashion, changed forever the way women dress.
