TOLENADO GO TO SYDNEY

TOLENA“How can a collection like the one you’ve just seen be delivered to the shops tomorrow?,” said Sidney Toledano, Chief Executive after the Dior’s show.

“That would mean we’d manufactured it six months ago and put it in the fridge … When you put a collection in the shops the following day, that means that the selection from the runway has already been made — you’re taking a risk.”

This is concerning the ‘See now and buy after the show’. Mr Toledano is right because for a large company like Dior “impossible” is probably a bad word, but for luxury company miracle is possible. It is surprising that such a group like Dior that the “just in time” process does not exist. Continue reading →

SHIATZY CHEN PARIS 2016

Posted on by

canal2Shiatzy Chen is a Taiwanese fashion house, founded in 1978 by Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia, who is often referred to as the Chanel of Taiwan.

They describe their style as “neo-Chinese chic”, where the aesthetics of Chinese clothing and handicraft are combined with Western styles, using design features drawn from Chinese culture such as mandarin collars and Chinese patterns.

Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia was born in 1951 in Changhua, Taiwan.

She was not formally educated in the industry, learning her trade by working at her uncle’s factory. Very talented she probably is my favorite designer for this Paris Fashion Week.
