History

Paul Smith’s introduction into fashion was completely accidental.

At the age of 16, with no career plans or qualifications, Paul Smith was propelled by his father into a menial job at the local clothing warehouse in his native Nottingham. However his real passion was sport and his ambition was to become a professional racing cyclist, until aged 17 years when cycling-mad Paul was in a terrible accident.
Six months in hospital followed and during this time Paul made some new friends. After leaving hospital he arranged to meet them again and by chance the meeting place was a local pub that was popular with the students from the local art college.
They talked of Mondrian, Warhol, Kokoshka, David Bailey and listened to the Rolling Stones, Miles Davis and much more. It was then Paul knew he wanted to be a part of this colourful world of ideas and excitement.
Within two years, Paul Smith was managing his first boutique in Nottingham and with the encouragement of his girlfriend Pauline Denyer (now wife) and a small amount of savings, opened a tiny shop in 1970. Paul started to take evening classes for tailoring and with the help of Pauline (an RCA fashion graduate), Paul was able to create what he wanted. By 1976 Paul showed his first menswear collection in Paris under the Paul Smith label.
Within 20 years of his introduction to fashion Paul Smith had established himself as the pre-eminent British designer. Paul Smith has the ability to anticipate, and even spark off trends not only fashion but in the wider context of popular culture. He manages to transmit a genuine sense of humour and mischief mixed with his love of tradition and the classics
Today there are 12 different collections; Paul Smith, Paul Smith Women, PS by Paul Smith, Paul Smith Jeans, Paul Smith London, R.Newbold (Japan only), Paul Smith Accessories, Paul Smith Shoes, Paul Smith Fragrance, Paul Smith Watches, Paul Smith Pens and Paul Smith furniture and ‘things’. Paul Smith rugs, china, spectacles and fragrance are made under license. Designed in Nottingham and London, the Paul Smith collections are primarily produced in England and Italy while the fabrics used are mainly of Italian, French and British origin.
In 2002 Paul Smith collaborated with Cappellini to create the Mondo collection of furniture inspired by observation and travel. In 2003 Paul designed an upholstery textile in partnership with Maharam, called ‘Bespoke’, which was inspired by classic pinstripe suiting.
The Paul Smith shops reflect the character of Paul and his designs, an unmistakable Englishness augmented by the unexpected. The shops house the Paul Smith collections and an extensive selection of jewellery, books, art, antiques and an array of interesting and beautiful products. Work of British designers is often showcased alongside Paul’s personal collections of art or curios.
Paul Smith is global - the collection is wholesaled to thirty five countries and has fourteen shops in England. Paul Smith shops are found in London, Nottingham, Paris, Milan, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, Kuwait, U.A.E. – and over two hundred throughout Japan. Paul remains fully involved in the Japanese business; designing the clothes, choosing the fabrics, approving the shop locations and overseeing every development within the company. Paul Smith also has impressive and diverse showrooms in London, Paris, Milan, New York and Tokyo.
Paul Smith continues to be an integral part of the company; he is both designer and chairman. Paul Smith is continually involved in every aspect of the business and as a result, Paul Smith Limited retains a personal touch often lost in companies of a similar size

Apparition Intense Cologne by Ungaro, Created by olivier polge as an oriental/fougere, this is a provocative masculine scent .the fresh opening of mandarin, rhubarb and anise is warmed with spicy coriander notes. The oriental base unites vanilla, licorice and amber.

History

Born into an Italian tailor family in Aix-en-Provence, Emanuel Ungaro was able to find his freedom over thirty years ago when he rose to the challenge of creating his own Fashion House.

Today, the man who, at the start of his career, was labeled the “maverick fashion designer”, still free of constraints but subject to his passions, has become a figure of reference in the fashion world.

This complete fashion designer, as discreet as ever, continues to impose his new designs on each season, has anticipated trends for three decades, embellishes everyday garments and reminds women that they are the joy of every man.

Everything started when his father, a tailor from southern Italy, discovered the South of France, moved there with his family and opened shop in Aix-en-Provence.

From the age of 5, Emanuel, the second of 6 children, played with the sewing machine, the whole family’s work tool.

This provincial life provided him later with the key to his future trade and introduced him to a lifestyle embracing painting and music that has followed him throughout his life.

Bolstered by his exceptional creative talent, Emanuel moved to Paris at the age of 22 and started his apprenticeship alongside the Spanish designer, Cristobal Balenciaga.

In the Workshops of the man whom he admires as his Master, he realized the perilous difficulty of this profession and obtained real recognition for his work. This period taught him rigor, perfection, and the eternal search for an ideal in the silence required by the demanding generous Master.

This period also saw the birth of a secret man, tormented by his strong personality, torn between his constant, sensual and bold creativity and his need for austerity and solitude.

How could he control his exuberant creation, his love of women and enhanced sensuality and live in the silence and concentration imposed by the pursuit of his art?

Emanuel Ungaro searched for and found his style with mixes of printed patterns, bold and contrasting colors, exceptional draped effects suggesting femininity inspired by the cheerful streets of Aix-en-Provence, the sun and light accent of the South.

In 1965, his first Collection presented at Avenue Mac-Mahon met with considerable success and already, in 1967, he was able to move his workshops to Avenue Montagine where his House now occupies three floors of the same superb building. His clients discovered this contrast between passion and reason. Emanuel Ungaro acquired international repute for his color combination and unexpected motifs, the purity of his silhouettes and the insolence of details.

Since 1997, Emanuel Ungaro has discovered in the family of Salvatore Ferragamo, the famous Italian leather manufacturer, sharing a similar philosophy to his own and together they have nurtured the project to diversity the Ungaro style already present in Europe, United States, and Asia. Ungaro is now well known for his high quality perfumes and colognes as well.

Emanuel in his own words:

The designer is there to pre-empt an élan, guess the future in desire. I should not have to talk about it. My dresses speak for themselves.

If I had to define my fashion or my way of creating, I would say that it is essentially sensual. In all senses of the word. And for all senses…

Salvatore Ferragamo was born into a large family of fourteen children in Bonito, Italy. At the young age of nine, he became interested in the art of shoemaking and his reluctant father allowed him to apprentice in Naples.

When Ferragamo was 14, he immigrated via boat to America along with many of his fellow Italian immigrants. Ferragamo soon became famous in Hollywood, partly due to the Roman sandals that he designed for Cecil de Mille movies. His shoes were not only stylish and imaginative, but they were extremely popular for their comfort.

Brut Cologne by Faberge, Launched by the design house of faberge in 1964, brut is classified as a refined, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance. This masculine scent possesses a blend of citrus top notes with hints of spicy woods. It is recommended for evening wear.

History

If one wished to describe the capabilities of Peter Carl Fabergé in a single sentence, one would have to compare him to a choreographer. Just as a choreographer succeeds in combining the different characters of his dancers in a harmonious ensemble, Peter Carl Fabergé succeeded in harmonizing the wishes of his customers with the skills of his work masters.

Peter Carl Fabergé was born in St. Petersburg in 1846, the son of the jeweler Gustav and his Danish wife Charlotte Jungstedr. There he went to the German private school St. Anna. In 1860 the family moved to Dresden, where Peter Carl Faberge attended the commercial school. After graduation, the 14 year old began an extended study trip, in the course of which he completed training as a jeweler at the house of Friedman in Frankfurt am Main.

In 1864 Peter Carl Faberge returned to his hometown as a fully trained artisan and joined his father’s jewelry business, where he took over management in 1872. That was the start of the unstoppable rise of the jewelry manufactory FABERGE to world fame. Peter and his brother Agathon, who was born in 1862, enthralled visitors at the Pan-Russian Exhibition in Moscow in 1882. For his work, Peter Carl Fabergé received the Gold Medal. Just three years later, Czar Alexander III appointed him Court Supplier. The impetus for this great honor was the creation of the first of the legendary Imperial Easter eggs that same year.

The reputation of Peter Carl Faberge did not stop at the borders of Russia. In 1897 the royal houses of Sweden and Norway appointed him Court Goldsmith. In 1900, at the behest of Czar Nicholas II, he represented Russian craftsmanship at the Word’s Fair in Paris.

The success was overwhelming. For his miniature replicas of the czarist crown jewels, he received the gold medal and was inducted into the Légion d’Honneur. Peter Carl Fabergé sold his shares in the company to his employees and fled the chaos of the October Revolution via Riga and Berlin to Wiesbaden. He died in 1920 in Lausanne, Switzerland. His mortal remains were transferred to Cannes to rest beside those of his wife, Augusta.
