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

our delayed official fall/winter 09

We've had our ups and downs this season, my friends. Delays, re-construction, and an early paparazzi sneak attack have all seemed to have plagued this season's release.
No matter! After living with this collection for what felt like several excruciating months, we've decided to finally release it. Inspired by old Hollywood, glamor, and a dash of of new years eve; golds, silvers, and lush blacks are what make up out latest release. We hope you all enjoy our blood sweat and tears.

Love,

Fall '08

Posh Pride

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.

http://poshpride.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/paper-couture-no-future/

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…"

Flickr photo pool

Hello again. After going into hiding for the past couple days we've peeked out of our holes long enough to see some of the images you have been posting to blogs and flickr. We LOVE seeing your avatars in our spring collection so stealing a page from Marni Grut of Royal Blue and her fantastic flickr group, we've created one as well. You can click here or type in http://www.flickr.com/groups/papercouture/ to visit the group page, please join and add to our photos! We want to encourage deconstructions and creativity photography of the current and past seasons and are looking forward to seeing your take on our designs.

Announcement: Paper Couture joins Armidi!

--- April Fools!---
The Lu sisters are to merge their Paper Couture brand with Armidi by mid April, 2008. "We find Armidi amusing" said Ava Lu when asked why they decided join the Armidi girls. "We feel that we can bring a new level of couture to casual wear through Armidi". Prue Lu has stated that she will dedicate herself personally to dressing London and Adians pet cobra because, as she says, "animals are the future". Mare Lu, who is currently enrolled in a twelve step substance abuse program, grudgingly admitted that this is a good move for Paper Couture, as her sponsor insists she must make amends with the rival brand in order to heal. Mimi Lu, the youngest of the five sisters had this to say about the merge: "This is a once in a lifetime chance to work with people who have egos ALMOST as large as ours. Someone may lose an eye, but the end result will be a superlative virtual fashion collection, and that is worth losing the gift of sight for." Cora Lu could not be reached for comment. Rumour has it that she was inside her penthouse appartment, drinking Mojitos with a naked man less than half her age and watching The Bold & The Beautiful while the announcement was being made.
