VIBE

It was a line of sequin-encrusted totes that catapulted her to star status, but Vanessa Bruno’s soft, modern, and delicately tailored urban fashions are equally desirable. The zen boutique, with its vintage furnishings and cool, restrained aesthetic, is a fitting complement to the understated designs.

WHY WE LIKE IT

Bruno’s designs are oh-so-Parisian: pared down, urban, whimsical, and unquestionably chic. In a city where over-the-top creations of ultra-trendy labels and the painfully exclusive couture of haute design houses can at times leave us overwhelmed, her muted, eminently wearable pieces are a treat.

GOOD TO KNOW

Bruno’s pedigree (her dad founded Emmanuelle Khan and her mother was a Danish supermodel) certainly gave her a boost in the biz–she launched her line at the tender age of 24. Vanessa Bruno’s collections are also carried by Paris department stores Printemps, Le Bon Marché, and Galeries Lafayette.
