Dear Seven and Franck,
I just had to tell
you both that the new Resort collection
is such a breath of fresh air, especially when you consider all that is out
there. I may be a little late to the
party in becoming a fan of the collection but you guys have convinced me that I
should have been paying more attention.
Now, don’t be getting all pumped up here with my compliments
because as we know my opinion can change in a heartbeat … but so far so good … well pretty freakin good
to be more explicit. I love the way you
use lace which has always been such an iffy fabrication as when most designers
use it because it either looks like a
shroud or a wedding dress but you manage to make it young and fresh and that is
no easy feat. You also manage to get some vintage vibe going
on with those capelets and all the beadwork … this is all good as the collection never looks
like it was found in Granny’s trunk and never looks tired.
You boys did a wonder with the addition of color as it really enlivens the collection and
I was just crazy for that “camo” and the bronze brocades that you used in the
mini one button reefer coats … so chic!
I have fallen in love with all this as I am a sucker for fab tailoring
and hand work and you sure got me when I looked inside and saw the impeccable
finishing that is sure to become a signature of the collection.
As a “veteran of the wars,” meaning the fashion business, I
can say that you guys have brought back the
art of fashion combined with a youthful style and your own brand of easy
to wear chic… how refreshing to not be comparing you to anything I have
seen. I have always said that designers
should design and you 2 have certainly proven that when it is masterfully done,
the end result shows that originality and that real design will conquer all
else.
So, “LoyandFord,” I am hoping to have a coffee with you guys
at some point in September when you are in town showing Spring. I so look
forward to the new collection to see what surprises you will have created and
be witness to what new ground you will break in terms of design and creativity. Really... kudos to you both... bisous,
beijos... kiss kiss and congratulations... see you soon
J
