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 Southern THEORYist

/

Almost every retailer at Buckhead Atlanta has had some form of Grand Opening celebration in the past year but last night Theory shut it down! The atmosphere at Theory was casual, chic and festive. Guests were sipping, shopping and smiling. And while the brand embraces a minimalist aesthetic, their values in respect to design and customer service is abundantly strong.

Theory took their Grand Opening festivities to new heights by doing something that no other retailer has even come close to doing - understanding, respecting, acknowledging and celebrating the power of the blogger. Thank you Theory - YOU get it! 

Last night, after their Grand Opening, Theory hosted an amazing, family-style dinner at The Southern Gentleman for Atlanta's top fashion bloggers. The menu consisted of Little Gem Salad, Pimento Cheese Puffs, Flounder, Roasted Whole Chicken and Lemon Cornmeal Cake. Very delicious! The only thing more spectacular than the impressive spread was the company. Theory Buckhead GM, Kelly Miller delivered a warm welcome to the group, thanking everyone for all they do.  

The evening was absolutely perfect. Thank you Theory & The Southern Gentleman.

If you haven't been to Theory Buckhead, pay them a visit. They have the best Spring/Summer whites in Atlanta. From linens to light weight fabrics, the selection for women and men is fabulous.

DVF RECAP: Grand Opening Atlanta

/

DVF brought its New York City chic to Atlanta and celebrated with a spectacular grand opening soiree last night. The newest Diane von Furstenberg showroom is located at Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead.

Brittany Hampton, who won the coveted title of DVF Ambassador per the House of DVF - a show on the E! Network that had me glued to my fashion seat- hosted the festivities last night. Brittany was lovely, and naturally, in high demand, surrounded by endless fans and the E! cameras who were filming season 2. From what I heard, next season is going to be insane!

The event itself was wonderful. Mainly because the energy from guests and the DVF glamazons alike was happy, enthusiastic and very friendly. Everyone was having a super great time, sipping on bubbly, engaged in conversation and of course, shopping. I noticed something quite refreshing (for those of us who go out too much!) there were many new, fresh faces in attendance. I loved that!

As for the showroom... its layout, look and design are perfection. The feel is clean, polished, refined and elegant, like its iconic leader. Welcome to Atlanta Diane von Furstenberg.
