Dear twiggy-lovers,
After studying History of Art, i decided temporarily to help my mother in her store.
It turned out into 30 years ... spotting new talents, re-thinking how a shop should look like, how can we make a difference? Always questioning the role we want to play within ourselves, the company and the world.
Having a store has quite overwhelmed our lives. We‘ve been through many evolutions (and revolutions!) we have survived three refurbishments and we are still busy renovating, adding a rooftop to the house. We have started and stopped a men’s department. We have been travelling around the world showcasing labels that you won’t find elsewhere. By trial and error, the twiggy story was a continuous creative journey…
After five decades, we still love the notion of serendipity and surprise in fashion.
We have always been attracted to a comfortable style where space and movement can meet, A style that starts from the needs of our clients. Clothes as a perfectly proportioned house in which we live, clothes as an essential refuge, a second skin.
Working for twiggy was a life ‘s achievement. Managing a shop gave self confidence and reflection. We found connections with other disciplines as graphic design, architecture, visual merchandising and textiles. So many warm hearted and open minded people have been crossing our path through our store. a big thank you to all the dear colleagues who helped twiggy grow over the past 50 years, Jo Taillieu for building my own nest and the foundations of the twiggy house. My mother and sissy, my patient partner Yves and my sweet kids ugo, marius and lux for bearing all my doubts and helping us to build this mirrorpalace full of beauty.
