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.

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

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.

Jewelry Expo

Hello my tiny diamonds. Are you as excited as I am? This week I, am representing P.C. at the 2007 Jewelry Expo. The 5 rings and pearl set that I have on display were created exclusivly for the expo and will not be for sale in the regular Paper Couture stores. Once this expo is over they will not be available in world. Our booth number is 62, click here to visit it.

The sweet nectar of success

A warm breeze on your face while sipping a exotic cocktail on the black sands of Waianapanapa is the feeling that the Lu's are experiencing right now. Ah yes my dears. If I might say so myself, our first runway show went off almost without a hitch. Our fall clothing line is now available to the public, with jewelry, shoes, and accessories to shortly follow. We've had a busy week and it's not over yet. We're planning to post a clip of the runway show for those of you who weren't there, so keep a jewel encrusted eye out.

Soon...

Silhouettes, details and embellishments! There is so much anticipation in the air I feel like I can wrap it around me like a luxurious fur. You've been so patient my darlings and soon it will pay off, our new line is almost ready.

Cora's Immanent Death

Today I received news that our great Aunt Hildah's 2nd Cousin's fish Fire-Engine, whom I've always loved dearly, has passed away after a brave bout with fish breast cancer.
This tragedy forced me to think about my own death. Because I know that my "family" will screw it up, I'd like my funeral wishes to be publicly known. When I decide to take my own life I want my sisters to crush me into a diamond and encase me in a rotating crystal box with a 10 foot flame shooting out the top, possibly in a famous french museum. Children will have to stay 5 feet back and wear protective glasses while adults weep at the awesome sight of the flame as it chars birds and planes mistakenly flying over because they were blinded by the bling of my forever gem.
Also our new fall line is coming together nicely.
