Designer Sophia Kokosalaki and Barneys seem intent on reviving Vionnet. For those who were asleep in fashion history 101, Vionnet lived and breathed as a fashion house from 1912 to 1939. Madelaine Vionnet designed pieces for stars of yesteryear including Marlène Dietrich and Greta Garbo.
The new line is set to debut this Spring 2007. View the full press release here.
A personal aside: this is very exciting news, we’re talking a line created before most people reading this was born, revived in 07. What a way to start the New Year
p.s. I know this was announced July 2006 but this is news to me, besides, Spring is 2 whole months way.
