Vanessa Bruno Athé / Lookbook
“The queen of effortless Parisian style” – Vogue Italia.
Born into the fashion industry, Vanessa Bruno’s mother was a famous model in the 60’s and her father was the founder of famous French fashion house Cacharel as well as fashion label Emanuelle Khan. Hence it came to no surprise that Vanessa would take on the same career path as her parents. After the huge success of her line ‘Vanessa Bruno’, in 1999, Vanessa went on to launch her diffusion line – Vanessa Bruno Athe – affordable, cool, chic and easy to wear but still epitomizes the Parisian style. Bruno’s signature is blending soft fabrics making them super comfortable to wear and yet very unique.
Bruno creates clothes for women who want their individuality to stand out; only Bruno makes the process easier by offering them a collection that is extremely easy to wear straight from the catwalk and onto the streets.

IRO Campaign Spring-Summer 2012
French brothers Laurent and Arik Bitton started their cool casual wear line IRO in 2004, fusing edgy street style with classic Parisian chic to create laid-back staples with a feminine feel. Thanks to their musical background, the collection is inspired by trip hop and rock influences. We retain a few words of the brothers Bitton that resumes well their philosophy : “We love fashion as it allows every women to be loved” …
Vanessa Bruno Backstage @ the show
Backstage before her show, Vanessa Bruno offered up a patchwork of references and ideas—Jane Birkin circa 1968, monster truck rallies, punk, and traditional French fabrics like vintage rose prints. On the runway, it became a literal patchwork. The designer began by piecing all sorts of sweet florals and block prints with strips of flashing silver Lurex. “Like a futuristic Laura Ashley,” she said. With a cue from Birkin, the silhouette leaned toward the sixties in straight-cut shift dresses and skirts with high hems as well as stand-away jackets. But there was also a strain of Courrèges in icy white boxy suits, not to mention those zip-front knee boots. Still, you imagine Bruno’s fans will first flock to the bohemian, rather than frosty and futuristic, side of things. Also on the hit list: the flowery anoraks with drawstring necks (a fresher take on what’s become a fashion standard) and crafty fringed handknit cardies and ponchos. By the end, Bruno ticked up the toughness. Industrial grommets were embroidered onto organza skirts for a kicky cocktail hour look, and punky scraps of what looked like Hells Angels wings and Sunday-Sunday rally fliers were worked into T-shirts, a touch of exotica in the gamine’s world. “It’s not aggressive but a cool edge,” said Bruno. Mission accomplished. (source : www.style.com)
