Grès Paris — the art of draping and the timeless elegance of Parisian haute couture, a collector's item from the golden age of Madame Grès.

History

Founded in Paris in 1942 by Germaine Krebs—known as Madame Grès—the eponymous house immediately established itself as one of the most distinctive and demanding in Parisian haute couture. Trained as a sculptor, Madame Grès developed a unique and inimitable style: drapes of incomparable precision and beauty, inspired by ancient Greek statuary, woven directly onto her clients' bodies. Her creations, of timeless elegance, are considered among the most beautiful in the entire history of couture. The 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s represented the pinnacle of Maison Grès: Madame Grès was recognized worldwide as one of fashion's greatest artists, and her accessories—shawls, scarves, stoles—are collector's items sought after by vintage fashion and haute couture enthusiasts. Exceptional materials—silk, wool, cashmere—crafted with incomparable care and mastery. This Grès Paris wool and silk shawl is the perfect expression of this heritage: noble and sensual materials, a natural drape of rare beauty, the discreet signature of the Parisian house—a collector's item from Madame Grès' golden age, somewhere between sculpture and elegance.
