Italian Heritage Brand LES COPAINS Opens its first American Atelier in Atlanta & Celebrates with Contemporary Artist ZACHARY CRANE

/

The Les Copains brand has maintained a decades-long dedication to the support of the arts. For this reason the company commissioned not only a private work by Zachary Crane, but also committed to a direct donation to The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) as well as offering a percentage of its first week’s sales as an enthusiastic commitment to the brand’s support of its new Atlanta home.

The new store opening is indicative of a renewed and focused decision to expand the presence of the Les Copains brand in the US market. The Buckhead Atlanta atelier will be the Italian heritage brand's single outpost in America, and the first in a secession of stores to be rolled out over the following 3 years. Said Francesco Leone, US President of Les Copains, “We felt strongly that the Atlanta marked was best poised to embrace the brand heritage and its modern take on Italian luxury.”

Zachary Crane’s installation, titled “Fabricator” is an artistic interpretation of the design process. A thousand unorganized thoughts amount in an empty corner, as the designer embattles a search for taste and purpose. A dormant room suddenly morphs into an idea consortium as fashion unfolds.

*The installation will be on display in the Les Copains atelier at Buckhead Atlanta through mid-September.

ETRO F/W 2015 Now at Buckhead Atlanta

/

No one does pattern like Etro. No one does print, color and texture like Etro. And no one combines them more harmoniously than Etro. [With a mimosa in hand] I was thrilled to preview the Fall 2015 menswear and womenswear collections at Etro's lavish location at Buckhead Atlanta. There is an inherent richness and luxury to the Etro brand that is so prevalent in Fall 2015 which goes beyond the visual, welcoming the tactile. Visually, in both the men's and women's collections, there exists a vibrancy of color and pattern that through closer inspection, by holding the cloth in your hand, offers equal excitement, appreciation and luxury. The detailing is absolutely outstanding. There is a women's coat for example, with 100 pieces of hand-stitched patchwork and took about eighty hours to produce. The hand-painted velvets for men are exquisite. And the snakeskin women's boots are an absolute must-have!

Etro embraced their textile roots with Fall 2015. Their use of interior textiles, tapestries and carpet motifs was brilliant. The combination of these fabrics are strategic and masterful. Yes, there is a lot happening and Etro called it "controlled maximalism." I call it elegant and sophisticated.

The women's collection has a chic 70's vibe to it, but like their menswear, "retro" is always interpreted in a modern way. [Like the men's tweed jogger! I need it.] There are so many showstoppers. Many of the pieces at Etro Buckhead Atlanta are straight off the Milan runway. Etro is for the style-savvy fashionista or fashionado who loves to wear beautiful clothes. And shoes. And accessories.

The 8th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk was the bark of the town! It was truly a magical evening at the most beautiful and desirable property in the city: Buckhead Atlanta. The evening was filled with fashion from upscale brands: Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, Bella Bag, Bonobos, Brunello Cucinelli, Christian Louboutin, Helmut Lang, Jimmy Choo and Theory! BUT, as usual, it's the 'doggies' who steal the show. From the looks of it, many have been shown an interest in adoption!!! Doggies on the Catwalk raised over $35K for the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption! Thank you to our sponsors: Buckhead Atlanta, Bentley Atlanta, Modern Luxury, Coggins International and Trinity Productions.

*The video features all the 'Catwalk' looks and doggies in the show!

Conn Jackson Doggies on the Catwalk Theory

Earlier this week, Conn Jackson, pictured above with Theory Bulkhead GM Kelly Miller, came into the showroom for his fitting for the 8th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk. If you know Conn, then you won;t be surprised that we had a blast! He wore two hats that day, one of a model and the other as the host and producer of his on TV show Get Connected with Conn Jackson; CONN TV. Lucky for us, my last fitting of the day was the one and only Monica Pearson and the super clever Conn Jackson jumped on the opportunity for a quick promo video for Doggies on the Catwalk. I love it!!! Conn will be producing a segment about the show but sooner than that, you can see him strut a pup on the 'Catwalk' Saturday night at Buckhead Atlanta. *Secure your tickets because this event is almost sold out.
