Sandra Nizette - San Nizet

In Jean-Paul Gaultier's latest collection in Paris, feathers appeared to be the crown, not only in featured headpieces but used as trims to embellish coats, hems of skirts and even necklines of evening dresses. For something so humble, the feather gives glamorous ambience to this haute couture collection.

 Black still dominated within his androgynous styles, blended with browns, greys and slashes of block red. He softened the styles with frills, godey features and some sequining and of course mass use of feathers! Jean-Paul Gaultier challenged Parisian high chic when he presented his first collections in 1976 when even then, he dabbled in gender blurred fashion.

 The label San Nizet has always used feathers to add a glamour and European touch to its collections, both winter and summer. A handcrafted feathered brooch to wear at the neck, pinned onto the side of skirt or onto a hat for the races or a wedding ... or ... the new wraps which are transformed and therefore transform your outfit to a new level, with the addition of the creatively placed FEATHER. 

 Check out the new Limited Edition - Buy Now Gallery for a selection of brooches ... and more will be added as they are crafted .



FOR A LITTLE FUN leading to the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival I have three thumbnail photos of three wraps from the San Nizet Studio . If you are the first one to guess whether 1, 2 or 3 is the wrap that will be shown at the SCFF, a special feathered brooch will be crafted just for you with colours that reflect your fashion style.
