In this fashion consultancy role for Vedoneire, Ruth met the brief by building rapport, understanding the current customer, while predicting mild trend adaptations that would appeal to a new female customer. Throughout, Ruth was very involved with the sourcing of raw materials, attending trade shows, visiting factories plus partnering on the financial planning.

C’est Faconnable  

Façonnable Injects Chic Ease into the Spring Forward Season. Easy elegance and rumpled sophistication define this collection. For Spring-Summer 2013, Façonnable is all about understated, modern masculinity and natural femininity – a couple that exudes quiet confidence and polished appeal.

French fashion house, Façonnable, introduces their 2012-2013 Pre Fall Winter Collection. Menswear shows classic Legionnaire military style in line with the French Foreign Legion. Understated earth tones and neutrals are accented

for the weekend ahead.

On the other hand, womenswear is all about slouchy minimalism with an extension of the classic Legionnaire military style 

Promising a ‘sensual and functional’ womenswear line-up for autumn/winter 2012, French brand Façonnable have offered just that: pieces with allure and a sense of wearability, that’ll see you through the fashion seasons.
