The successes follow one another which leads to the Olivier Strelli store in Saint Tropez dressing great celebrities in the ‘80s and ‘90s such as Eddie Murphy, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart and John Galliano. In 1989 they are responsible for the new look of Belgian Airline Sabena, introducing attractive and sensual two piece women suits. Soon Belgian royalties found their way to the Brussels house of fashion. Amongst others they dressed queen Paola and Mathilde and king Filip. Other great names completing that list are Brigitte Bardot, Joan Collins and Helena Christensen. Later on, in 1997, the label even attracts the attention of world star Mick Jagger with a long purple velvet coat. A meeting quickly followed and a collaboratin with the Roling Stones ‘Bridges to Babylon tour’ was realised. www.strelli.be +32 3852 7749 info@strelli.be Get your free ticket to Pure London >>

CHRISTOPHE FENWICK Christophe Fenwick is a great fan of classic cars and exceptional motorbikes. As long as remembered, he collects, hunts old spare parts, repairs, competes, takes part in road tripsâ&#x20AC;Ś As a driver, he needed gloves but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any stylish offer on the market, so he decided to have a special pair made for himself. He designed a pair inspired by the sixties and also found a exclusive method to apply a patina (in other words to put a second color layer) on the fine glove leather that will give this unique vintage look and this legacy spirit to the gloves. His friends and relations were so immediately enthusiastic about his gloves that he decided to create a whole collection. The Men collection comes under fives themes: Driving Spirit, Racing, Limited, Downtown and Lifestyle. The Women collection comes under four themes: Driving Spirit, Catwalk, Downtown and Lifestyle. The color array is threefold for Men as well as for Women: the Almost Blacks (Black, Extremely Dark Navy and Green), the Brown Pallet (Ebony, Cognac, Rusty Brown, Garnet Brown and Mud) and the Colors (Smoky Grey, Dusty Green, Violet and Yellow). Winter gloves are generally lined with an internal cashmere glove. Every pair is delivered in a beautiful gift box. www.christophefenwick.com +33 1 40 13 06 76 christophe@christophefenwick.com Get your free ticket to Pure London >>

SAMUEL GASSMANN PARIS Born in 1974 in Paris, to an artistic family (a father who worked in photography and a painter mother), Samuel Gassmann studied History of Art at the Sorbonne. Starting out as an exhibition curator, he also produced short reports on cultural themes for TV arts magazine Metropolis (Arte). In 2007, he began delving into the origins of the “smallest item” of men’s apparel, the cufflink, as a potential project to pitch to Arte. A visit to the last plant still producing mother-of-pearl in France inspired him with the idea of reinstating the cufflink. Already possessed of a keen interest in fashion and the possibilities of textiles and styles, he created his eponymous brand in September 2009, founded on this small mother-ofpearl accessory that conveys a discreet sense of luxury. www.samuelgassmann.com +33 699 795 349 samuel@samuelgassmann.com
