Having perfected print techniques Victoria has been
working closely with Britain’s longest established silk weavers to develop a range of richly
textured woven silks. They reflect the vivid colours used in print that
originally attracted the attention of Jon Snow, but weave adds another
dimension not possible to achieve with print.
Victoria’s, unique
approach to design offers another level of choice for customers seeking
individuality and the quality that you expect from the fashion capital of the
world.
Victoria has worked with leading British and European fashion
designers and produces a range of accessories and garments under her own label,
which sells all over the world. Her work is included in the permanent
collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum London and the Museum of Fashion and
Textiles, New York. She hand prints the designs and experiments with colour placement
and proportion and then selects the patterns before committing to print, or
weave.
If you’re looking for a return to traditional quality then do a
little research on these names, you’re sure to unearth a wealth of products you
never knew existed and that in it self can be rewarding: Victoria Richards,
Vivienne Westwood, Ian Flaherty, Timothy Everest, Veritas Gifts, Duchamp and
Ralph Lauren. If you’re not familiar with some of these names, not to worry,
now’s a good time to change things around:
The internet is a good way to start your research and learn quickly
just what you’ve been missing all these years. Even the names you know have new
surprises each season, so it pays to keep yourself in the loop. But the name we
want to hit on now is Victoria Richards. You can trod the high streets and surf
the net but you’ll be hard pressed to find anything that compare with
liveliness of her woven silk ties.
Few brands can brag true distinction, Vivienne Westwood,
Duchamp, Ralph Lauren, Victoria Richards, and Ian Flaherty are some that come
to mind. “Principally” based designers are positioned to reap the rewards as
customers demand a return to quality as defined by original designs that are
made under ethically controlled conditions, preferably on British Soil
Perhaps this is an opportune time for budding designers to exhibit
their cufflinks,
and if you want your designer silk ties
to be seen? you know where to begin.
A closing historic anecdote: 1860, the Prince of Wales ordered a
short smoking jacket to wear at informal dinner parties at Sandringham from his
friend, the tailor, Henry Poole. It was the first dinner jacket on record and
was cut in midnight blue cloth. In 1886, a Mr James Potter of Tuxedo Park, New York, was a
houseguest at Sandringham.
He consequently ordered a similar dinner
jacket to Bertie's from Henry Poole & Co. It was this dinner jacket that Mr
Potter wore at the Tuxedo Park Club inspiring numerous copies that fellow
members wore as informal uniform for stag dinners. Thus the Tuxedo was born at
Henry Poole & Co. It took only eight years for an accidental style to cross
the Atlantic and soon became an American institution, but what of its origins.
There’s value in originality, quality and good style.
