I liked their collections for the old house of Leonard (the french Pucci). Thanks to them Leonard could be found in some fashionable stores like Barney's.

you're welcome.
we can also have a seperate thread, if you want...
yes i read about the eyelet, it sounds lovely
here's an excerpt from an interview for 'i-D selects the worlds150 most important designers' i typed off (in?) for you:
what are your signature designs?
-we try to give some new spirit to vintage clothes. our signature designs change depending on each piece. but the application of eyelet is a typical detail of e2. they give weight to the garment and change its movement.
how would you describe your work?
-we are a fashion guide! our proposal is a wardrobe with customized pieces, vintage pieces as we found them changed into new creations, new shapes made of antique fabrics.
is the idea of collaboration important to you?
-it's the main thing of our story. e2 means those two.

who has been the greatest influence on your career?
-ysl, alaia, rei kawakubo, vionnet
is designing difficult for you, and if so what drives you to continue?
-each piece is unique. the difficult part is to find the connection between the pieces to make a coherent story.
what is your definition of beauty?
-beauty is the open door to emotions

i adore them too much
their work is a bit too expensive for me but its so obviously worth it
the latest i saw from them was a 'homage' to YSL, last winter in the BeauMarche in Paris, i was there in the opening party, the whole floor was dedicated to E2
they had taken only vintage ysl (like ysl shirts, tops etc) and had totally reworked them in the most amazing way, while keeping bits and pieces of the original ysl item,
fantastic work really
all looks were unique (another strong point of E2) and each had both labels, ysl original and E2

i think they used to have them in Barneys or was it bendels 
oh monsieur Laurent wouldnt have minded at all softgrey,
it was an excellent and very respectfull little project,
i believe they actually did this in collaboration with ysl,
hence being able to hold on the ysl label
they actually managed to get their talented hands on a bunch or rare and forgotten stock, see, none of the items were 'used'
just vintage ysl stock
