I consider myself a true follower of their label and concept !!!
one of their very acclaimed pieces
after the unfortunate death of QUETZAL marvin has followed his instincts and keeped the Label in a good position compared to the mexican fashion market !!!
so far the spring summer collection has been my favorite !!!
neon colors combined with pale pinks and blues ( orchids and spider details can be showed all over the collection ) there was even a fringe suit for daring boys .....
once upon a time ...... there was a man named V. Gassier who had a little store called ¨The France Factories ¨ In the constantly growing mexico city that selled ribbons, laces and other imported goods from PARIS ...... that eventually made partners of business with other 3 brilliant men Jose Tron ,Jose Leautaud and Alexander Reynaud ... To DREAM about what other men had dreamed In PARIS . LONDON ,NEW YORK and CHICAGO a new concept called department store ... thats when in the mid 1880´s they decide to build a huge building in todays very downtown Mexico City ... it was so big for the time that burgesy people that passed by watched curiosly and ask themselves .........................whats that IRON PALACE theyre building ? and thats when in 1891they opened the very waited IRON PALACE ... A 6 store building that selled from luxury goods to furniture ....that sadly burned down in 1914 BUT ohhhh noooo the story s not over yet .... with big efforts . partners in business hired a french architect PAUL DUBOIS that builded the new architectonic jewel with ART DECO and ART NOUVEAU details and the esquisite Stained glass ceiling of the store.....
