CALYPSO Akela Paradise Dress
Hailing from Cannes, the city of sun & festivals, Christiane Celle was previously a stylist who travelled the world for fashion shoots alongside top photographers. In 1992, while on vacation on the island of St. Barthelemy (an overseas collectivity of France in the West Indies, also known as Saint Barth in French or St. Barts in English), Celle noticed that the chic island, long a playground for the rich & famous, only had either upscale boutiques or tacky tourists shops. So upon spotting a vacant 300 sq. ft. space (next to Hermes, no less), Celle impulsively decided to jump into the retail biz. With bohemian offerings gathered from exotic destinations like India & Africa as well as her own colourful designs, Celle's first Calypso store soon found success with affluent island-seekers. In the decade & a half that followed, Celle & her husband Antoine Verglas have led Calypso's expansion into an international luxury retail chain with stores in over 30 locations across the USA & France, which still offers a mix of Celle's private labels & high-end outside brands. In 2007, the couple sold a majority interest in their company to a private equity investment firm. Under current design director Elisa Miller (formerly of Coach & J. Crew), Calypso continues to mesmerise fans with cheery, feminine & skillfully designed clothes that immerse one in the sunshine mood of the French Riviera -- far from the darker, urban look of most Parisian brands.
(Celle, meanwhile, has turned her attention to photography & art with a new venture: Clic Bookstore & Gallery.)
Calypso Akela Paradise Dress: A vibrant watercolour floral print dress with smocking & keyhole detail. Can be worn strapless, or criss-crossed as a halter. ...Time for some fun in the sun!
