When we think of an elegant shirt, we obviously have a reference French house in mind:
Alain Figaret
a timeless artist.
It was at the Mondial de l’Automobile 2014 that I was able to rediscover the specificities of this master shirtmaker. A partner of the Orange operator -which welcomed us to a stunning stand- the official dresser of racing drivers (Le Mans, Tour Auto, etc.) showcased its expertise through an embroidery workshop.
A few lucky guests – who had previously won a multi-stage game organized by Orange – received a magnificent“Prestige – Black Pearl” shirt personalized with their initials.
Figaret’s demonstration was there to arouse our curiosity and arouse the desire to offer such a gift; the idea seduced me since I’m talking about it right here, so it’s a successful gamble for the brand.
On this occasion, the model chosen in white poplin, whose distinctive feature is a black-tinted mother-of-pearl button(see photo above), lent itself perfectly to the exercise. On a plain color, it’s easy to have the letters embroidered in the color or alphabet that best suits the wearer’s personality.
The designer has been working for a number of years on collections that adapt to all tastes and styles, while taking up trend codes such as the androgynous or “Seventies” look. Naturally, at Luxsure we love this spirit, which is clearly part of Figaret’s DNA.
Whether you’re looking for a classic or an original, Alain Figaret has been working to satisfy your every desire since he opened his first boutique in Biarritz in 1968. Fitted or loose fit, choice of collars(tuxedo, Claudine…), different sleeve lengths (for you gentlemen), hundreds of ready-to-wear fabrics: your shirt is undoubtedly at Alain Figaret.
If this isn’t the case, the Maison offers a made-to-measure service (a rich offer of 900 fabrics) to create a unique piece, which can of course be personalized thanks to numerous options, including embroidery of your initials, by hand or machine. A must-try and, above all, an excellent idea for a top-of-the-range gift in the run-up to the festive season!
If you’re in Paris, I recommend a detour to the flagship store on Place de la Madeleine; on 3 floors and in a charming old-style wooded atmosphere, a team of experts will advise you on the shapes, fabrics and customizations available, so that the tailor can create a chic model with a line to suit your image.
In the meantime, don’t hesitate to take advantage of our private sales currently on offer on the E-commerce site. To your baskets before December 7, 2014 😉
