Talk, text and tweet with the simple touch, tap or slide
of a gloved hand.
In our current age of technology, touch-screen make staying
up to date on the latest happenings a snap…well, slide. But when
the weather outside turns frightful, it’s on with the gloves and
off with the iPhone. Want to take a call while running errands
downtown? You’ll have to take off those mittens first. Needless
to say, many of us prefer to keep our extremities toasty and
chic over frigid and bare. No wonder it’s so hard to connect
with people during the holidays.
Thankfully,
Dorothy Gaspar, of the infamous glove line
Gaspar Gloves, has come
to the rescue this season with a new collection that solves our
annual problem of warmth versus technology. Gaspar Gloves with
TouchTec give the wearer the ability to fully use any piece of
touch-screen technology, without having to take off their
gloves. TouchTec imitates human skin by increasing the
sensitivity of the leather and allowing you free-range usage of
all gadgets. The patented nano-technology arguably allows the
wearer even better control over touch-screens, which may leave
you looking for excuses to pop them on even when the weather
warms up.
TouchTec gloves come in a variety of styles, from simple
black leather driving gloves to radical hand-woven checkerboard
patterns. Each features soft cashmere lining and hand-sewn
detailing, making the gloves a stylish and one-of-a-kind
treasure.
Gaspar, whose line has been featured in major motion pictures
such as “3:10 To Yuma” and “The Changeling,” is a third
generation master glove maker who uses traditional techniques
like table cutting to produce high-quality gloves. The company
was originally started in 1885 by her grandfather in Hungary and
has since remained family run. Gaspar’s gloves have also been
featured in InStyle,Vogue and Glamour
magazines as well as at New York’s Spring 2010 Fashion Week.
The gloves, which are available in both men’s and women’s
styles, range in price from $225 to approximately $300 and are
worth every pretty penny.
So whether you prefer to talk, text or tweet, Gaspar Gloves
with TouchTec technology will keep you in the loop when the snow
starts falling. Click over to

pieces for your 2009 winter collection. We hope you’ve been good
this year…
The Glove Compartment (reprinted from WWD 09/09/09)
GLOVES, LIKE SHOES AND OLSENS, by definition come in pairs.
But arguably the best-known glove in recent memory never had a
mate: Michael Jackson's sequined, much-celebrated — and not very
au courant — single version.
The soft-spoken woman behind that design is Dorothy Gaspar, a
third-generation glovemaker from Budapest. In 1985, she set out
for Los Angeles with the dream of outfitting stars — at least
from the wrist down. Her custom-made designs are worn by Madonna
on her Sticky and Sweet Tour and Lady GaGa in her increasingly
Bunuelian videos.
Now. after almost 25 years in business catering to the toast
of pop celebrity. Gaspar is launching her first line targeting
fashion civilians, the kind who consider public pants-wearing a
necessity and have never taken up with a 21-year-old named
Jesus. If one implies from the timing that she is trying to
capitalize on Jackson's passing, she begs to differ, saying, "I
started to work on it about seven or eight months ago, so that
was before [his death]." However, she has created a group of
gloves called the Moonwalk in tribute to the pop star. "That's
my way of remembering," she says.
At her presentation, she will showcase about 40 pairs in
leather, lace and a sheer fabric called Touch Tech. which is
thin enough to allow for iPhone use. The prices start around $50
and go up to $200 for "crazy creations."
Gaspar still hand-stitches all of her samples in her Los
Angeles studio. She has designs for "Iron Man 2," "The Green
Hornet" and the Broadway revival of "Bye Bye Birdie" in the
works.
And while her teenage daughter isn't yet involved in the
business, she supports Mom in other ways. "She's always texting
everybody [while] wearing her gloves," she says. As for whether
she'll be a fourth-generation glove maker, says Gaspar, "I'm
hoping. It's a process."
