The Elégance prêt-à-porter collection
From individual items to perfectly coordinated ensembles with carefully selected accessories – this is where our designers show the full, fascinating range of their fashion savoir-faire and their loving attention to detail.
Ever since 1970 we have been producing the Elégance fashion catalogue to keep our discerning customers abreast of the latest trends in our prêt-à-porter collection. The main objective is to make designer fashion accessible to the customer in a very personal way. What Elégance offers is not just individual garments, but carefully coordinated looks.
Flawless craftsmanship and exquisite materials are the hallmarks of our elegant, exclusive collections. Our philosophy is to be your chosen fashion companion wherever you are: meeting friends, going shopping, attending a business meeting or a cocktail party – and on holiday, too.
Elégance – design for the most demanding customer
Elégance prêt-à-porter items are not just individual garments: they combine with each other to form specially coordinated looks. Flawless craftsmanship and exquisite materials are the hallmarks of our elegant, exclusive style. It’s generally a long, hard road from the initial rough sketch, dashed off by the designer in a few minutes, to the public launch of a new Elégance design.
The quest for ‘the essence that couture dreams are made of’
When the best cloth manufacturers in the world present their creations twice a year at the Première Vision textile fair in Paris, when decisions are taken about next season’s key fabric and colour trends – Elégance designers are there.
If they cannot find what they are looking for among the enormous range of fabrics on offer, they simply have them specially woven.
Lifestyle meets the spirit of time
Elégance does not merely deal in fashion. We create fashion. Our designers attend haute couture shows all over the world in search of inspiration.
From the resulting flood of ideas, the designer’s task is to filter out the also-rans and only keep what will really last in the fast-moving world of fashion.
The collection takes shape
With the courage to experiment with new, bold designs and colours along with constant attention to detail, Elégance designers then develop creative, sensitive collection concepts that are fully in tune with our unmistakable, exclusive style.
They then produce collages, drawings, colour and fabric samples that over a period of many months gradually mature into the final collection.
Quality on principle
If your aim is to dress the most elegant women in the world, you simply can’t afford to make mistakes. This is why we quality test in accordance with the strictest guidelines. From the initial sketch to ultimate delivery, every detail is checked, every seam is inspected. Only utterly flawless items are awarded a certificate of outstanding quality.
