Little Marc Jacobs FW'09




In 1986 Marc Jacobs designed his first collection with the Marc Jacobs label. The following year, Jacobs received the distinct honor of being the youngest designer ever to be awarded the fashion industry’s highest tribute: The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent.

In 1989 Marc Jacobs and business partner Robert Duffy joined Perry Ellis as Vice-President of Women’s Design and President respectively. In 1992, the CFDA once again bestowed Jacobs with a distinct honor: the Women’s Designer of the Year Award for his fabled Grunge Collection.

Jacobs and Duffy joined Louis Vuitton in 1997, Jacobs as Artistic Director and Duffy as Studio Director. They also opened the first Marc Jacobs free standing store on Mercer Street in New York’s Soho district.

Jacobs introduced the secondary line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, with a spring 2001 runway show. He has gone on to win seven CFDA awards including Womenswear Designer of the Year, Accessories Designer of the Year and Menswear designer of the year.

The first multi-brand store in the U.S. opened in August 2004 on Boston’s Newbury Street and May 2005 brought the opening of 3 new stores in Los Angeles.

Multiple freestanding stores and shop–in-shops continue to open domestically and across the Far East. Currently Marc Jacobs Collection and Marc by Marc Jacobs stores can be found in four locations in Hong Kong, four locations in Taiwan, twenty-five locations in Japan (including flagships in Osaka and Aoyama) and five locations in Korea.

The company opened their first free-standing European store in Paris at The Palais Royal in January, 2006 and followed with a London location in February, 2007. In the Spring of 2007 a full line of children’s wear, aptly named Little Marc Jacobs was launched.

The company has expanded to more than 100 stores worldwide. 2009 will bring new stores in London, Sao Paolo and Milan and a Collection store in Chicago.
Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy are committed to giving back to the communities where they have stores and have been involved with over 60 charities. Their continual support of these charitable projects continues to be a top priority.

Little Paul & Joe FW'09 has finally arrived!





Paul & Joe is a Parisian brand from designer Sophie Albou. The label started in 1995 as a menswear line. In 1996 the line expanded to include clothing for women and children, as well as, a cosmetics line. Paul & Joe is named after her two sons. We are happy to introduce Little Paul & Joe in our online store.

Little Paul & Joe plays with the chic, retro style of the 1920s and 1930s combined with original, innovative prints. Flower motifs are just one of the many signatures Albou works with.

THE thing about Paul & Joe is that there's always a good mix of wearable yet forward thinking styles that just cry out to be a part of your kids wardrobe.
Sophie Albou once said: (Quote) "I like women to have a presence that's always fun and beautiful, and I'd like men to be gentle, positive, and a little bit wild." . You do not have to look hard to see that she has taken this philosophy into her children line as well.

Among famous people Paul & Joe is also a hot item and it is both one of Jennifer Aniston's and Jessica Simpson's favourite brands.

About
UGG Australia boots (founded in 1978) take their name from the original Australian sheepskin boots called ugg. The boots are a casual type of boot made from luxurious twin-faced sheepskin which are exceptionally warm and are great for cold weather (up to -30 degrees Fahrenheit) - however, they should not be worn in excessively muddy or wet conditions. If you are looking for warmth while trudging around the house or the city, UGG Australia boots are perfect!
How to wear UGG Australia boots
For girls UGG Australia boots look fantastic with tight-legged jeans tucked into them, or with short skirts paired with opaque tights or bare legs. For guys, UGG Australia boots work great with jeans, and give a very casual, or rugged look, depending on the jeans or the shirt you wear with your UGG Australia boots. The warmth of the sheepskin boot means they can be worn without socks or hose, even in some of the coldest conditions.
