Teddy Smith Clothing + Teddy Smith Jeans = Innovation
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006
The first French jeans manufacturer, Teddy Smith (sounds about as French as fish & chips) was created by Philippe Bouloux in 1989. From the outset Teddy Smith placed the expectations of its customers at the heart of its projects by focusing on the creation, manufacturing and the distribution of jeans and a complimentary collection of clothes and accessories.
Today, Teddy Smith’s success is attributed to the teams ability and emphasis on technology to produce innovative denimwear. Teddy Smith has a vision to reinvent the concept of jeans by offering ever evolving denim collections Teddy Smith has a strong following in Great Britain and the rest of Europe, and will soon be available in the United States.
French-born Robin Chretien, former designer at Blue Cult and Hudson Jeans, launched his own line Robin’s Jeans in 2005. Robin’s Jean are sold in high-end boutiques around the globe. Robin tells us his philosophy is: “To make a women feel sexy and good, is my goal with Robins’ Jean, it’s all in the fit, with French influences on sensuality and quality, but also with the original American heart and soul of denim.”
French-born designer Jimmy Taverniti is turning new into old in his newest collaboration with jean guru Paul Guez, Taverniti So Jeans. The couture designer has found the perfect combination of sexy, sophisticated Italian fits and the worn-out, used look of American vintage. The result is a contemporary line that has already caught the eye of celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Katie Holmes, Terri Hatcher, and Cameron Diaz.
