We we were first introduced to the ladies at Marie Saeki PR during Alice Ritter's wild and crazy presentation, on the first day of New York Fashion Week. Among the chaos, Yurika Nakazono and Marie Saeki, ushered us backstage, made sure we got interviews with everyone from hair to makeup to models. When Ritter was barraged with journalists, taking notes and pictures, Yurika and Marie held our elbows, gave us a glass of champagne, and put us in front of the designer for our two minute moment of privacy. Needless to say, they have been one of our favorite showrooms ever since. One random afternoon, we popped in to pull some sunglasses for a shoot we had neither story boarded nor booked models for. Marie, the showrooms founder and former Accessories lady for Elle, sat down with us for a chat about the showroom and its recent projects. The showroom has an international roster of clients, they represent everything from sportswear to cameras, from ready-to-wear to eyeglasses. In spite of this, their team is small, and their relationships with the people they work with, close. We think people like Marie and Yurika, who do a great deal for their designers (among them, Alice Ritter, Petit Bateau, Theo, Falke, Selima Optique, Michel Perry, and Anne et Valentin) and the press, are a pivotal part of the fashion industry and, therefore, worthy of their own interview (if short). Afterall, Everybody Is A Star today on Coutorture.
This Sly and the Family Stone anthem is spot on. We won't ruin your Friday with some pedantic speech about how funny it is that anyone can be famous these days. It doesn't matter much to us who is in the tabloids and what they have spilling out of their purse. We cover people and things we think are dynamic and, dare we say it, cool. It's really as simple as that. We like the sort of people who get their hands dirty and the sort of people who you can sit down with for a cup of coffee. Those are basically our two requirements for stardom. That said, when we picked up 10 pairs of sunglasses one afternoon, we decided to forego the fourteen year old models and asked a bunch of our friends and colleagues to come over and sit for us. We picked people that, in our minds, embodied stardom in their sense of style, creative contributions, and good attitude. We think this speaks for itself. For today's original Coutorture editorial we've featured eleven lucky stars wearing shades by Theo, Selima Optique, and Anne et Valentin.
