Hot Pick for Fall: Gaspar Gloves
(reprinted from Splendidcity.com)

September 22, 2009 by Tracy Hopkins
Filed under Accessories

It’s official, today is the first day of fall. Even though the weather isn’t the least bit frosty, it’s still a good time to invest in a quality pair of gloves.



During Fashion Week, I went to a cocktail presentation for Gaspar Gloves. Designed by third generation glover maker Dorothy Gaspar, the gloves were featured in designer Erin Fetherston’s feminine Spring 2010 runway show.

The gloves are also highly regarded in Hollywood and have been worn by leading ladies including Angelina Jolie (”The Changeling” ) and Michelle Pfieffer (as a fierce Cat Woman).

Gaspar gloves are like buttah, and I can’t wait to wear my black leather pair with an eye-catching woven pattern.

Glove Problems


There is no doubt that I prefer the sole trader to the chain. While I am a strong supporter of the much improved stores of the high street, there is a price to pay for the efficiency and economy of the offerings of large chain stores. For one thing, it’s unlikely that you’ll find anything that isn’t designed to appeal to a broad range of chaps; certain shops valiantly seek to sell taste but generally speaking, they’ll sell what they know people will buy. Although this is a central aim of any trade enterprise, large or small, the smaller the trader, the more unusual the wares. The trouble with homogeny is that certain subtleties of manufacture are avoided; the tragedy of off-the-peg or ‘ready to wear’ is that it is often not ready to wear at all. The trousers are cut too long, the jacket
too roomy. Adjustments are often needed to really attain the best value from the economic purchase.

Sadly, there are certain items which cannot be adjusted. Being of an awkward shoe size can be a bother in stores that do not stock half sizes, particularly if the shoes are of one’s taste and budget, but the really disappointing thing about the high street stores, including the large department stores – so grand in reputation and scale – is that I can rarely find a pair of leather gloves that actually fit me. “We’ve got small, medium and large, sir” said the courteous young American girl on a recent visit to a department store. I tried a pair of the small. They were certainly the right size for my palm but my fingers looked like sausages. “They’re not quite what I am looking for – my hands look huge” I said, startled by my reflection in the mirror. The gloves looked more like the sort of thing snowboarders wear; the delicate subtleties of the human hand lost in the mass of leather that engulfed the fingers. “I guess” said the young girl, folding the gloves and placing them back onto the table “most guys don’t really care about that.”

The problem is that only a few stores, none of which were known to any persons I spoke to, actually offered gloves in more of a range than the generic sizes of small, medium and large. My research on the topic led me to discover that many see the sizing of small, medium and large as an alternative to the sizing in inches (6 ½ , 7 etc), the Zavier Jouvin method devised in the 19th century, and not as a homogenization of glove sizing. However, despite the fact that Dents gloves are made in good quality leather, in a variety of colours, when I wear them I look ridiculous. Having experimented with ladies gloves, I now know that the problem lies with the particular style of gloves available to men. Women’s gloves reflect the daintier appearance of the hands that wear them; they are too small for my hands as the fingers are far too short, restricting my hand movement, but the way the leather is finished on the fingers is far more elegant. There is a delicacy lacking on most of the glove models available to men; they seem not to be made for fingers but tree stumps.

I discovered an interesting website, Gaspar Gloves which offered, from what I could see, more elegant dress gloves for gentlemen. Priced at $85, Gaspar are quite proud of their strong connection with Hollywood; on their home page, Angelina Jolie is pictured in fine leather period-style gloves, clutching a receiver in her latest film ‘Changeling.’ Gaspar is certainly the sort of trader I warm to but I dream of such availability in the real world, and not merely the virtual. I am unwilling to purchase gloves without first trying them on. I imagine walking into an independent glove shop just off Regent Street; a huge range of materials and colours, racks and racks of sizes on oak shelving, a crackling fire and a Sinatra soundtrack. “Formal black gloves for the evening, and would sir like some chestnut driving gloves for the country?” Sadly, such a shop remains a dream. I think I was born in the wrong century.

Gaspar Gloves at LA Fashion Week

Posted by Erin Sun October 21st, 2008

http://www.millionlooks.com/outfits/romantic-spring-2009-by-samora/

 

          "With Samora’s collection the catwalk and hall looked like a sunny day in Paris at Los Angeles Fashion Week.

          The backdrop decorated with picture of the Eiffel tower and a bicycle on the runway that really did make you feel like you were in Paris!

          Samora’s spring 2009 line was heavily influenced by la vie francaise

          High-waisted skirts and short jumpers, day dresses, and plenty of flounces and ruffles were pretty and ladylike, and organza overcoats channeled Audrey Hepburn.

          The row also included white trousers and blouses, with some rumpled in black and paired up with a layered mint green skirt that looked admirable together, and sheer robes.

          Favorites included a white dress with pockets that had a sheer rectangle over the chest making it not your customary bridle, and a floral dress that had ruffles and a v neck hemline as well as a bow that parceled around and cinched the waist.

          Stylish was the flawless word for her gorgeous and stunning line.

          There were lots of ruffles, ruffles, ruffles! Samora was all about the ruffles for Spring 2009.Gowns were in ruffles from necklines, to hemlines that gave each part a flirty feel to it, making it perfect. The floral decorations were a bit matronly.

Lengths of dresses ranged from short such as an charming pinstriped dress that was ornamented with white lace, as well as a long, full of size princess mango dress-perfect for any occasion, but this pink corset dress was out of place.

          Some were sleeveless, bridle, and thongly.

          Pinstripe and brilliant colors were the theme of the show.

          Palettes included mint green, black, mango, and shades of pink.

          Patterns were remarkable floral prints that brought you right to spring and painted everything in flowery colors.

          Gloves are one of the main accessories presented in the collection. They’re one of the hottest trends, and Samora presented her own idea of fab gloves for spring 2009.

          Half-gloves are made of leather, not covering the hand in full. Gloves were predominantly of black, white and black-and white color, looking beautiful and unique.

          We’re looking forward seeing this collection in stores worldwide."

by Joy Han Fashion Show
DESIGNER JOY HAN PRESENTS HER SPRING 2009 COLLECTION DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES

After taking last season off from doing a runway presentation, Han in back with a slightly new direction just in time for the current political climate. "This season look for more structure", says Han. "The Voom girl has grown up a bit, and she is looking to the late 60's for her inspirations, Jackie O to Janis Joplin." "The Voom customer has many layers these days from conservative to liberal and that's what I'm representing on the runway this season", says Han.
          Han always leaves the media clamoring with interest and her audience buzzing in speculation on what to look for next in fashion. This season Han collaborates with Velvet Angels shoes, Gaspar Gloves & Beijo Handbags, in helping to define her "New Look" for the season. Each model will be looking marvelous with the help of the innovative and sophisticated makeup line Temptu Cosmetics, as they hit the runway. Wilde Aide & White Sands will be the official hair-care providers for the Voom model's tresses.
Celebrity DJ Mark Da Spot will be spinning the sounds for Han's runway presentation and other sponsors for Han's event include Glitterati Magazine, The Margarita King & Denmark's Edler Flower Natural Beverage.
          VOOM by Joy Han will show on Saturday October 18th at 6:30pm, check in time at 6:00 pm.
