  thierry villenave shirt

you love tailored anything. guess what? so does he. next time you're in the marais, pick up a thierry villenave shirt for your guy. oh all right. pick one up for yourself, too.

designer thierry villenave bills himself as a craftsman and creator. but he's so much more. he built his new boutique by hand to house what he does best: tailored sur la mesure (made-to-order) shirts. his specialty is le smoking (or tuxedo) shirts for men and women. one look at the collection and you'll know that the fire engine red poplin version (with big cuffs and a satin yolk) is a total knockout. shirts are measured on you and can be made in either french or swiss cotton or silk. give thierry ten days and it's yours. heading back to milan? thierry will ship it to you. and turning a fashion 180, he also crafts whimsical prêt-a-porter hats for your pretty head. the flower power print fedora is just the thing for spring.

time to get tricky.
