As part of its Haute Couture auction, Artcurial's new Hermès Vintage & Fashion Arts department will be selling two private collections in Paris on July 4. The sale will include a collection of haute couture jewelry — pieces created at the request of designers to accessorize their collections — and items from the catwalk collections of Elisabeth de Senneville, an influential fashion designer of the 1980s. The upcoming auction, which will be held in Paris, France, will see collectors and couture fashion fans bid for around a hundred pieces of jewelry from some of the biggest fashion houses, such as Chanel and Dior, as well as 130 items from the professional archives of Elisabeth de Senneville.

April 6, 2016 By creative

By Astrid Wendlandt and Pascale Denis VERSAILLES, France (Reuters) – Growth in the more than 250 billion euro ($285 billion) personal luxury goods market should pick up next year, boosted by resurgent demand in the United States and China, after hitting a trough in 2016, consultancy Bain & Co predicted. Bain, whose industry outlook is an authoritative and traditionally closely watched barometer of trends because of its extensive coverage of the sector, forecast luxury sales growth this year of around 1 percent at constant exchange rates, against 1.5 percent in 2015. Bain is due to release in a few weeks its updated study and forecasts for the luxury goods market, which includes accessories, clothing, jewelry and watches, and has not yet published any figures to show its latest thinking on the outlook.

Chinese firms snap up chunk of French fashion industry

April 1, 2016 By admin

French ready-to-wear fashion labels Sandro, Maje and Claudie Pierlot will be taken over by China's Shandong Ruyi Technology Group under the terms of an exclusivity agreement announced late Thursday. Hot on the heels of the announcement, French lacemaker Desseilles said Friday it is to be acquired by Chinese firm Yongsheng, in another sign of the growing Chinese presence in France's fashion industry. In the deal for Sandro and Maje's parent company SMCP, the founder of the “accessible luxury” labels, sisters Evelyne Chetrite and Judith Milgrom, will remain minority shareholders if the deal goes through, as will their management team and the US investment fund KKR.

Calais museum explores the work of fashion designer Anne Valérie Hash

March 18, 2016 By admin

The Museum of Lace and Fashion (La Cité de la dentelle et de la mode) in Calais, France, has invited the French designer — and her fashion house — to exhibit emblematic garments and showcase the creative process. This first French exhibition dedicated to the work of Anne Valérie Hash will look back over her first 13 years of designs. As a famous name of the fashion world, the French designer is particularly known for deconstructing menswear pieces to transform them into womenswear creations, and, more generally, for bringing harmony to contrasts and contradictions, whether in terms of colors, styles, fabrics or eras.
