SOPHIE BUHAI FOR LEMAIRE
It´s rare nowadays in every business-sphere, especially in the chaotic, most of the time cold fashion one to find a natural way to start the collaboration. This rare exception and we deeply hope that this will not remain as the rare one, but to be served as an example, happened between Los Angeles jeweller Sophie Buhai and Lemiare, the brand that is a true epitome of discreet luxury and timeless elegance. Somehow it went this way; Buhai contacted in an old-fashion way the brand that she would Love to collaborate with them. Sarah-Linh Tran, the label´s half creative mind, discovered Buhai´s same culture and sensitivity that made her decide to give a try to this collaboration. The rest is history with an incredible result, translated into elegant, but very statement pieces, like sterling silver and enamel cuffs, long silver earrings and an enamelled bronze barrette that made debut on Lemaires S/S 2016 fashion show. Discover and shop the collection here.

IN THE NAME OF COMFORT AND ELEGANCE
The French National Galerie Jeu De Paume, built in 1861 during the reign of Napoleon III and originally housed real tennis courts, is commonly a place dedicated to contemporary art. Bared white walls and wooden floor became a perfect scenario to showcase a collection in the name of discreet elegance and with an optimal level of charm, in one word – Lemaire. The silhouette of the collection was still very Lemaire, meaning playing with volumes, mostly oversize and flared, but this time with some retro-inspired elements and a woman showcasing more than usual her nonchalant side. In the name of comfort and elegance we can say, made of wide big shirts, almost painter smock look-a-like extra-long roomy shirt with a pleating-detail, wide ankle-length and long denim pants ornamented with white double stiches, the same ones seen on a prolonged cotton blazer, wide long pants, a navy blue dress coat with open sleeve cut, long shirt dresses, light cape with an open shoulder cut, below the ankle skirts and coated cotton bottle green coat, paired with various styles of shoes, from two colours leather boots, simple black sandals with a wooden-block heel to leather boots with woven espadrille soles and leather laced shoes. More than usually Lemaire was seen to use accessories; beside mentioned shoes, there were fringed scarves, few bag styles, including my favourite geometric maxi shoulder bag in leather and not to mention the really adorable jewellery collection made in collaboration with the interior and jewellery designer Sophie Buhai that even more elevated mostly monochrome, chic looks. Now I can “reveal” why I waited with this post so long, when it´s not a novelty anymore that I am a huge fan of Lemaire and his philosophy. The reason is simple. The best part always come in the end; it’s like a cherry on the top and Lemaire with this cherry only confirmed (not only to me what we already know – the brand is a true resource for a perfectly-balanced wardrobe, luxurious but never loud, essential but not basic and tasteful without being boring.
TO MIND - SOPHIE BUHAI
If you were a fan of Vena Cava, then you know this lady. She shared this label with partner Lisa Mayock. Since 2014, shuttering the label, Sophie concentrated and we can also say that she totally deepen herself in the L.A. design scene. She re-explored her passions for interiors and jewellery design. Working in peace and without any pressure in her basement, she created a debut range of sculptural objects and jewellery, perfectly reflecting the area´s aesthetic. A totally handmade in Los Angeles, the collection consists of pieces produced from sterling silver, maple wood and hand-carved walnut. Simple and sculptural forms emphasizing strong and striking statement.
