Claire and Jenny's Paris buying trip
Sunday, 31st January 2010
We had a wonderful time in Paris last week at the Who's Next show and have found some fabulous collections from new up-and-coming designers.
We bought excellent outerwear and knitwear from 2Two and visited the uber cool Athe Vanessa Bruno showroom and bought a must-have collection that will hit the store next season. We are loving the printed silk tulip skirt, faux fur collared coat and lace detail dresses. Ooh la la!
Stripes has UK exclusivity on three new French labels, which feature next season's trends of Balmain shoulders, silver chain mail epaulettes, embellishment, texture and abstract prints. Hemlines were short and dresses were still very much in vogue. We saw vibrant printed silks, slim leg trousers and luxurious knitwear.
Our new boutique brands will be a fantastic addition to the store next season - we can't wait! x
