Léa Peckre
Emerging fashion designer Léa Peckre ’ s career is taking off after she stepped out on her own to launch a brand that is getting some serious attention .
Peckre worked with Jean-Paul Gaultier , Isabel Marant and the house of Givenchy before she launched her first collection in 2014 . She then designed a unique ready-to-wear clothing line for the 130th anniversary of the lingerie brand Maison Lejaby in 2014 , and opened Paris Fashion Week for the first time in 2015 . Most recently , Peckre showed her Spring / Summer collection in 2016 at Paris Fashion Week .
“ I think my customers are looking for creativity and elegance ,” Peckre said . “ For this capsule collection , I developed a complex combination of ruffles and smocking in the pieces . Together , they have an artfully restrained take on femininity that is graceful , self-aware and quietly confident .”
Peckre ’ s latest collaboration is with Nordstrom . She recently launched an eight-piece collection that is available online and in Nordstrom ' s in-store SPACE boutique locations around the country . Incorporating a variety of fabrics and cuts , the collection focuses on transparency , dark colors and romance . Prices start at $ 195 for a two-layered transparent top , and range to $ 1,195 for a ruffled , long-sleeve dress .
