Loving Leliévre

Thank you to a Stark for hosting a wonderful event last week! We had the pleasure of being invited to a designer brunch to view the newest Leliévre collections presented by managing director Emmanuel Lelievre and director of international Sales, Catherine De Masin.

Below are some of the bright colors and fun embroideries of the new 2012 Lievre collection.

The new Leliévre & Stark Sonia Rykiel home décor line  was also shown.

The French fashion designer’s collection features a piqué embossed with Sonia Rykiel’s signiture “SR”, large scale houndstooths and woven jacquards with handwriting and flowers.

Lastly, Catherine and Emmanel went over the Tassinari & Chatel fabrics for Leliévre.

Below are some fabrics from the Tassinari & Chatel: Exception collection, some of the most prestigious from their archives. Formerly woven on hand looms which we have often been requested to re-weave. The designs have been transposed from hand loom to mechanical loom to make them more accessible both in price and in production time. Thus making it more possible to propose them for prestigious projects without losing anything of their exclusive and authentic character.

Here are some more beautiful intricate woven archive fabrics with gold thread.

We were so inspired by all of the new (and old!) fabrics we were presented. A big thank you to the Stark Showroom at SOCO for hosting!
