Cannes Film Festival

This photo came up on our Facebook page yesterday, liked by a friend. One of the interesting things that people may not know about the Cannes Film Festival is that most of the fun happens at private parties, all around the region.

The image was captured at Cannes Goes to Space, hosted by Fashion Week Cannes. It's one of our faves as it has a certain vintage feeling that offers the romanticist view of the festival.

Rabih Kayrouz is praised for his architectural cuts and exacting construction, but the designer’s approach is far from rational. Emotion is the crux of his ready-to-wear label, which launched in 2009 with the opening of Maison Rabih Kayrouz in Paris. He works instinctively to design garments that embody comfort, confidence and, most importantly, joy.

Beyond pragmatism and pleasure, Kayrouz’s work reflects exceptional craftsmanship. It was this delicate balance that won over the international press and the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, who invited him to participate in the official calendar of couture fashion shows in 2009. Kayrouz had been designing dresses for private clients since 1998, but the decision to include his premier collection marked a first in couture. He later joined the ready-to-wear calendar, debuting in Paris in March 2012.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week New York

Norisol Ferrari is a quintessential New Yorker. Born just outside of Manhattan and of Venezuelan descent, she found her independence at a young age. Growing up in the 80s, she gravitated towards the exploding music and nightlife scene of lower Manhattan. Looking to express her self-identity, she handcrafted original and daring looks for herself and friends. An avid researcher, Norisol worked and lived around the globe, absorbing the rich cultures of Spain, Italy, England, and France. Stepping outside of her own community allowed Norisol to see firsthand the exquisite quality and craftsmanship of some of her most revered designers. Upon her return to New York with a new and greater understanding of the design process and a passion to empower women of the world, Norisol turned her attention to the art of fine tailoring and began working with the best craftsmen in New York launching her own Ready-to-Wear collection in 2010.
