Charles Jourdan and Stephane Kélian bankrupt

[Stilettophile]

Hello All,
Nothing like resurrecting a post with GREAT NEWS. Charles Jourdan is ON!, once more. Titan Industries has relaunched the line. MY Prayers have been answered. I wish them well and am looking forward to super fabulous NEW CJ's for my collection!

That is really sad news about Charles Jourdan. My earliest memories are of their Guy Bourdin ads in American Vogue during the mid seventies. My mom wore CJ and I always liked how beautifully they were made back then. Ive followed them closely since that time and have amassed lots of samples and most of the catalogs since the mid-seventies.
My favorite period was from Spring/Summer 77 through Spring Summer 80. Ive managed to collect a few standout (really high heels) from those collections.

Other divisions of the older CJ were Xavier Danaud and Jean Rimaud. Wonderful shoes bringing back lots of fond memories.

I hope someone rescues this wonderful brand that has languished for so many years and consistantly was re-interpreted by others.

Hi, Stilettophile here. I’ve changed my handle to Hotelgulf718. I can be found on Instagram now as Hotelgulf718. The collection is still intact and growing. There was theft of some Prada’s during my move some years ago, but luckily 99% of my collection is safe in storage waiting to be displayed again.
Regards.

Stilettophile those are in your collection? oh my goodness those are so so beautiful. I remember (or actually saw recently) the Guy Bourdin ads you mentioned, those are incredible.

Protect those shoes! At least from me.

Well, it’s been twenty years and the collection is still intact. I had moved on from nyc with my collection and completely lost touch with fashion spit….which was a terrible mistake. I’m back again in August of 2025 and am on Instagram as Hotelgulf718 ☀️
