France is a country with the most famous exquisite aromas, beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower, and Edith Piaf’s music playing in street cafés. Many great couturiers were born here, who conquered the world with their unique masterpieces, which to this day are considered geniuses in their field.
From time immemorial, France has been a trendsetter and for more than one century it has dictated the trends that the entire fashion industry obeys. And today, well-known French brands are the undisputed leaders in the fashion industry market, and Paris is rightfully called the capital of haute couture.
For many, French fashion is the standard of sophisticated style and special unique chic. Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Saint Laurent, Cardin, Courreges, Boucheron – these names are truly the personification of high fashion that France gave us. Talented designers have played an important role in the global development of fashion design, as well as the creation of gorgeous accessories, jewelry, and mind-blowing optical collections, which are displayed annually by famous fashion houses with historical roots.
Courrèges
The creator of the French brand, André Courrèges, delighted the audience with fashionable clothes that were distinguished by an amazing and unique charm. He also created a completely new trend in fashion. It happened back in the 60s. However, despite the passage of time and how quickly the fashion industry is changing, Courrèges collections are in demand among sophisticated fashionistas. Courrèges glasses are unique handcrafted pieces that reinterpret the brand’s signature silhouettes with a modern twist.
Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent ranks among the most luxurious brands created in the 60s during the great cultural revolutions. Its creator, Yves Saint Laurent, is considered the very outstanding fashion designer of the twentieth century. He redesigned the feminine style of clothing, adding a masculine touch to it. His most popular invention is the women’s tailcoat, which appeared on the catwalk in different colors. Yves Saint Laurent became famous at the age of 21, while still at the head of Dior. However, he entered history only after he left the French Fashion House and became interested in ready-to-wear collections. The Parisian haute couture house creates a collection of sunglasses and frames that masterfully combine innovative technology, ultra-fashionable designs, and references to the past.
Chloé
In the middle of the last century, the bohemian beauty Gaby Aghion created the Chloé atelier, which laid the foundation for the famous fashion brand. She sewed dresses from the most delicate fabrics, later called “ready-made luxury.” These outfits combined the perfection of high fashion and simple minimalism. Many years later, Chloé’s romantic feminine style, manifested in sophisticated clothing and exquisite eyewear silhouettes, is still popular and in demand. When creating spectacle collections, Chloé designers skillfully play with shapes and volumes, colors and styles, impressing the audience with soft rounded retro shapes or classic aviators in the interpretation of the brand’s masters.
Balenciaga
Spaniard Cristobal Balenciaga moved to Paris where in 1937 he opened his first boutique. The 50s are considered the era of Balenciaga: the couturier created many garments that forever entered the history of fashion and became the legacy of the great couturier. These are butterfly dresses, bag dresses, and short coats without buttons and a collar. Currently, the Balenciaga brand is famous for its avant-garde stylistic solutions and is always one step ahead of the rest, being a kind of predictor of future fashion. The glasses from Balenciaga fully correspond to the concept of the brand – they are luxurious, shocking, original, and compel attention. The range of the brand includes sunglasses and frames in classic, retro, and futuristic styles, thick faceted frames with clear geometry, and lighter models in traditional and trendy colors.
Givenchy
An elite fashion house created by Hubert de Givenchy, which is famous for its delightful French charm, elegance, and aristocracy, continues to manifest its values in every detail of clothing, shoes, haberdashery, fragrances, and glasses. The Givenchy brand name, known to all fashionistas, flaunts every item of the brand in the form of a buckle, a print on the fabric, or a logo on the temples of sunglasses.
Lacoste
Lacoste is an internationally popular French brand with a wide variety of fashion products: footwear, perfume, clothing, bags, sunglasses and frames, watches, and leather goods. The Lacoste brand is prized for its craftsmanship in creating simple and stylish clothing without excessive décor. This philosophy has extended to eyewear collections that look flawless.
French designers are virtuosos who know the art of creating magnificent ensembles – complex and multi-layered, light and romantic, all complemented by impeccably selected accessories. Every detail of such creations gives comfort and endows true French charm and allure, making them so irresistibly attractive to us.
