Leslie Ferrè

Leslie Ferre’ graduated in Fashion and Textile Design at the LISAA ( College of Applied Arts) in Paris in 2004. Leslie Ferre’ reaches the world of design thanks to her passion for various disciplines: music, cinema, dancing, preferring craftsmanship to art.
Her passion for modern choreography and body movement affect her style: the lean bodies made by this artist have marked contours, using soft and fluid materials.
By glancing at her first two collections , you will recall the little baby dolls made by Nara Yoshimoto; childhood leaves its place to sensuality of cuts and textiles, which are light , soft, and to precise cuts and appropriate colour matches.


I personally adore the top named Edna, this is probably due to my passion for shirts and masculine garments.
Its design and lines are flowing all down the sleeves: French manierism combined with Anglo-Saxon extravaganza.
The dresses made by this artist tell different stories, they evokes strong reminiscences. The connection to early 20ies and 50ies fashion is clear , along with recalling features of history of costumes. This collections include a long series of knitted dresses, tops, cardigans and jumpers.
The women she targets are enchanting: ethereal, dogmatic, precious, natural and everlasting…
Each mock up is made and tailored by the designer herself who delivers very precise figures and contours, while the models are hand made in very small batches in France and England.

Oh my god Christmas presents!!
I don't know about you but for me every year is a drama..suddenly every idea becomes outdated , petty, the shops lack of interesting items, anxiety grows up while self confidence drops : an original idea, please give us an original idea.

What can you buy for your mother? A scarf, gloves, no way : a body cream obviously !

If you probably wander a lot through shops and stands stress can make a glass nail file become an unique idea..the trick is to stop before it's too late…

If you think positive again maybe something different can be found.This is the bag I'm going to give to my sister, I can write it here because she can't read the post now. Inch sells it in Camden Town this year. As you can see , no place was more appropriate for this style .



This bag has been designed and produced by a young neapolitan artisan and it's already been distributed in different Italian cities.
Have you ever imagined creating a bag from a disk? Well, a proper rock fan probably could have.

Two versions are available: sp and lp record..don't try to play them!!


The typical materials used by the brand "The Art" are leather and cloth making the "disco bags" all different form each other.
What can I say? This seemed to us a good idea, original for sure and maybe this is the eccentric touch that you need for one of the different Xmas parties you're gonna take part to....

BEING ETHIC ITS COOL!!!


What will new gentlemen wear?
A trendy hat! and what else? A pair of trouser, hopefully...
Trousers London produces trousers using environmental friendly materials, completed with patience and skills in small batches. Their production is entirely carried out by little Italian factories, that combine an accurate choice of materials to the reliability of the Italian tailoring tradition, these are the features that make the “Made in Italy” famous all over the world. Made of organic premium denim, those jeans have the same suitability and durability of the most famous pret a porte brands.
Nothing is randomly chosen, starting from the buttons to the flyes, from the materials used for internal pockets to the clothing style.
Each pair is unique! You could give it a name...


To each pair is given a unique ID number and the first batch consists of 600 pairs.
Those models represent reinterpretations of classic skinny jeans, made dynamic by asymmetric cuts and soft lines which don’t make interfere with the elegance of these jeans with a style vaguely resembling the past of England;the 80’s punk in perfect harmony with the evergreen style of the "gentle class".
Trousers London was created from the talent of a group of English designers and the common willingness to create something special.
Thumb up, so, for their first collection that convinced trend setters as well as addicted to tradition. Their second collection and a female clothing line are currently in progress…
