Pallas signature women’s Tuxedo capsule, in collaboration with Hannelore Knuts. model’s stylistic vision - honed from years working for Azzedine Alaïa and Haider Ackermann -complementing the firm’s technical know how. For Hannelore, it was a natural fit. “I associate the Tuxedo with the Yves Saint Laurent woman, and I am so proud to be working on a project for that kind of woman.” Hannelore for the Pallas Tuxedo collection wanted to experiment with different shapes and volumes, pairing afitted backless halter-neck waistcoat and sharp Tuxedospencer with a loose pleated pant, say, to create a new 3-piece suit that works for night or day. Seeing Hannelore in designs from the line - all stark contours, with her short platinum crop slicked back -conjures visions of Helmut Newton’s iconic erotically-charged 1970s black and white The addition of Hannelore Knuts, the photographs of models in mannish 3-piece suits. Those very images served edgy, androgynous-yet-glamorous as inspiration for a series of auto-porBelgian model, as a muse and style traits by Hannelore for the lookbook for consultant for the line, completes the picture. The Pallas Tuxedo collection, the Pallas Tuxedo line. From Marlene Dietrich in the 1920s to with its precision-cut, purelines, was literally built on Hannelore via weeks Yves Saint Laurent’s first smoking in of fittings in Pallas’s dusty headquar- 1966, the women’s Tuxedo serves as ters (think creaky parquet flooring and one of the most emblematic style icons of the 20th century, and is currently shelves crammed with pins, buttons enjoying a revival. and rolls of fabric) in Paris, with the Pallas, the privately-owned Paris atelier known in the industry for its formidable “Petite Couture” tailoringknowhow, is stepping into the light for Fall 13 with a signature capsule women’s collection of chic minimalist silhouettes based on le smoking . Balenciaga, Karl Lagerfeld and Celine count among a closed circle of topleague luxury players who have solicited the 52-year-old Maison’s expertize in artisanal prototype development and sophisticated hand finishing. Whereas, for many fashion brands, such prototypes are then produced industrially for commercialization Pallas’s entire collection will be developed by a Paris-based network of skilled petites mains. Each of the designs is cut by hand and assembled by one tailor from A-Z.
Exuding chic minimalism, the Pallas Tuxedo collection offers seven impeccably tailored silhouettes in a palette of off-white, navy and black. Looks range from a slightly oversized cleancut Tuxedo coat with satin lapels to a cocktail-hour Tuxedo jumpsuit and sleeveless Tuxedo dress. Adding a playful casual-chic note (with Hannelore’s stamp all over it) is a graphic, tailored black Tuxedo hoodie. The line’s three pant styles are: straight with a high waist, loose with pleats and cigarette, with the latter perfectly cut to flatter the legs and derrière. Construction details reflecting Pallas’s refined “main,” or hand, include discreet “plis Dior” back slits on skirts,hand-sewn linings, patch pockets with no visible stitches and covered buttons. Satin accents inspired by the iconic satin side stripes of the classic Tuxedo pant add a modern touch. A central satin stripe runs down the back of a long, one-buttonTuxedo dinner jacket, for instance, while the line’sstraight skirts sport low waists trimmed with satincummerbunds. The Pallas Tuxedo collection defines true modern luxury touched by human hands. The line will be available for view by appointment.
