Brands With Buzz: Requiem


A pair of handsome young men obsessed with cocktail attire, working out of an old Parisian brothel? Sounds like a fashion campfest, but for new label Requiem, it couldn't be further from the truth. Raffaele Borriello, 32, of Rome, and Julien Desselle, 25, of London, have created a dressed-up line of hand-dyed georgette dresses, Napoleon-style jackets, and flared skirts covered with metallic embroidery. "The point of departure was Dior's New Look," explains Borriello. "We love this mood, this elegance."




Has anybody purchased? Some of the pieces look beautiful... but I don't have a scanner.

The will to bring together our different fashion experiences and common sensibility is a the origin of Requiem, a luxury ready-to-wear line. Our objective is to marry two worlds generally at opposite extremes : Haute Couture and industrialisation.

Respect for the tradition of Parisian Couture, meticulous attention to detail, quality of fabrics and cuts are for us at the heart of our work.

Having worked for the most important houses : collection Director at Gucci, Sonia Rykiel, Yves Saint Laurent for Raffaele ; Dior, Gucci, Costume National for Julien, we decided to create one year ago our own brand to crystallise our same obsessions and our same fantasies.

Based in a Parisian Atelier with traditional know-how, which has produced collections for the most important French brands, we can give life to our creations, highly influenced by the refinement of the 1940's and 1950's, with total freedom and each season present a silhouette more and more recognisable by its modern and sophisticated elegance...
