paper couture happenings

To whom it may concern,

We want to thank all of you who voted us as "Best Couture" for the Second Style Stylies. Ava really does love the award.

In other news, 4 vintage Paper Couture menswear outfits were featured in the Virtual Fashion Lookbook Fall 2010. Thanks LL.

Also, and probably the biggest news of this blog post....soon we will be releasing a brand new collection soon.

All I can say right now is that this collection is a bit of a departure for us, and we're very excited.

Our second cousin three times removed on our mother's side of the family, Cici Vonderheide, will be making footwear with us this season.

Catch a sneak peek at the Modavia Fashion Week.


Best regards,

Ava, Cora and Cici Vonderheide

Normally we try not to read reviews as they send prue into a deep spiraling depression. I think we all remember the jungle incident from two seasons ago. However, there are some too delicious not to read. Thank you Posh Pride for making such a post. Never have i felt more insulted and flattered at the same time. This has got to be one of my favorite reviews of a collection we've done. If I could I would bronze it and put it on the wall.

The post is a bit long, but its well worth the read. Heres some highlights:

"It’s true most of the clothes are hardly wearable, but they enforce the silly brainless models we are to be creative as well: you can’t wear this new collection without a little bit of character. You need humour, you have to be self confident enough but with some distance on yourself too; you can’t be dressed in PC without a bit of attitude and/or self-derision. And if it’s not a fashion challenge, what is it?!"

"But nobody’s perfect, and The Lus are far to be. Or if they are, this is only as the perfect reflection of a gorgeous lover: a Love/Hate relationship. The man I would love with no condition is the one I could slap and kiss right after. I think Paper Couture inspires me the same feelings…"
