First Time Here?

Speaking of France, independent Paris fashion house Gaspard Yurkievich counts itself among the hippest, most “in” young labels this side of the Atlantic. With an ever-evolving boutique in the trendy Marais district and a brand new eSHOP, the brand is definitely on the rise!

And I should know – I work here!

Our signature glitz and glam is in your face for the spring/summer 2008 collection, rightly entitled SHEER MEMORIES: light, luxurious fabrics, sparkling threads, retro flashbacks, crocodile satin, chain-splashed stockings. Sensual semi-transparent chiffons offer a glimpse of the body’s natural curves, while patterns of light-capturing cellophane and Lurex intertwined with silk obscure transparency.

Makeup is the inspiration for the color scheme: mascara black, flesh tones and poppy red. As the palette’s powder element, more discreet cotton-silk mélange pieces represent the basic foundation of any wardrobe.

Sophistication and graphic spirit fused in an environment where daring pieces meet retro elegance.
