marc my words,
you will be hearing lots about Jess Brown.
from her Fall Fashion Week 'debut' with Bottega Veneta (see September post on this blog), to her February feature in Martha Stewart Living, to the launch of her womens and home design collections 'bits & pieces' in March, to a soon to be aired Today Show story, Jess is having a moment, or two or three.....
along with the haute hullabaloo also come the overwhelming ooh la la's surrounding the charming book Kiki & Coco in Paris, launched in late 2011.
it does not take a bite into a madeleine for me to recall the precious party with Jess held in Washington, DC in October but how fun to have her right here on NYC turf for a day!
just a hop and a skip from the Christopher Street subway stop and a walk over to Little Marc Jacobs last Thursday and there they were, "les collaboratrices": photographer Stephanie Rausser; 'star' of the story Kiki; co-star of the story, the one of a kind doll Coco; Jess Brown herself; and author/publisher Nina Gruener, lined up in a neat row behind a child's height table, looking like school girls, or dare i say, much like dolls...
super chouette! Vogue Bambini blogger and California groupies were in attendance, too! and quite the doll entourage in prime window seat locations!
Merci to Little Marc Jacobs... for gathering the California gang in The Big Apple... to share un petit morceau de Paris!
only in New York!

ready for their close up
Fashions Night Out! and the official start of Fashion Week!
Jess Brown was in town on Monday to install windows for Bottega Veneta, who commissioned her to make full size versions of her signature cotton, muslin and linen rag dolls for select stores around the world, each fully accessorized with pieces from Bottega's Fall 2011 collection!
Perfect timing for Jess who herself launches her own women's and home collection later this month!

This all started for Jess 11 years ago, with dolls she made (by hand) for her children out of old sweaters (cashmere) and antique bits and pieces.
 |
| look closely and you can see jess in the window, also doll sized.... |
The dolls are now sold in specialty boutiques around the world, including Paris and London, and Jess collaborates with other designers from time to time on fashion collections to wardrobe them!

Jess works from a humble studio in Petaluma, California, where she also has her own store with a friend. Her dolls are hand dyed in Persian black teas and filled with sustainable cotton fiber stuffing, making them all the more fashionable by any eco standards.
I can't spill the details yet but there is more big news in store (and in stores) coming soon for Jess!
 |
| the dolls have a stylist to get every detail just right for their fashion week close ups |
You can follow her fabulous Fall season on http://www.jessbrowndesign.com/ where 'events' will be posted and a slideshow sharing more details on the design and production process for the collaboration with Bottega Veneta, too.
Until then, do like the dolls, sit pretty at the shows this week, enjoy tea time, and don't forget to wear a touch of Fall's requisite red!
