Jean Paul Gaultier, Helen Mirren and Nicole Urbanski.

 

 

This week we are busily promoting our bespoke business as we celebrate the launch of our occasion wear collection the Pink Label. If you are looking for that elusive wedding outfit, a dress worthy of the red carpet or an exclusive and unique outfit for any other occasion, then visit us as a first point of call, you will not be disappointed. This evening we are hosting a ladies night to raise a glass of pink sparkles to a stunning new bespoke collection. 10% discount on anything in store plus the chance to win a 'butterfly wing soft' Pink Label silk top.

Our lovely production ladies, Rae and Christine, have been busy stitching into the small hours putting together a collection that we are extremely proud of. Nicole's designs have come alive in breath taking soft silks in the most beautiful of sorbet colours. Luxury personified and you can rest assured that if you are the mother of the bride you will not see anybody else in anything similar!

 

Nicole is perfectly placed to design these luxe collections, after all she did start off life working with seminal designer Jean Paul Gaultier and was instrumental in producing the memorable avant-garde, feather collar worn by Helen Mirren in 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover' and seen below.

 

 

In homage to her days working with JPG we recently both took time out to sneak off to London for the launch of the JPG exhibition, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at the barbican and were treated to a very inspiring talk from Justine Picardie and the curator of the exhibition, Thierry-Maxime Loriot.

If you get a chance to go along take it as the exhibits are spectacularly theatrically-staged and very creatively executed. The cutting-edge couture and ready to wear collections are displayed on mannequins, brought to life by talking faces projected onto head casts, amazing if slightly spooky.

If the rather jaw dropping designs of JPG are not quite your tasse du the then do pop along to our lovely styled boutique to get your fix of Parisian ambience and treat yourself to something stunning from our Pink Label collection whilst you're there.

All bespoke pieces made to order and to measure. Come to see us soon.
With Love, Nicole x
