With awards season finally behind us, and the ne plus ultra - The Oscars having at last been distributed, it's time for our Los Angeles-based celebrity clientele and their exhausted legion of stylists, PRs, hair and makeup magicians and all their harried assistants to breathe a sigh of relief and to at last unwind. If you were awarded one of these hallowed prizes, or even if you came away empty handed after months of marching down that red-carpet blinded by flashbulbs, isn't it time to reward yourself with a private viewing of the one of a kind, 100% handmade French treasures at the hushed haven of La Perfection Louis on Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood?
La Perfection Louis is an exciting and luxurious new addition to our Los Angeles retail culture. Carrying the exclusive, French brands Anonyme, Paris, Boheme, Christophe Charbonnel and Duvelleroy, the showroom offers something extremely special for discerning customers of varied tastes; and what sets La Perfection Louis even further apart is that all visits to the Sunset Plaza showroom are by appointment only. West Hollywood locals can also request a private car and driver to transport them from their home to La Perfection Louis.
Anonyme, Paris and men's accessories to lust after.
Due to the madness of the last few months, did you happen to forget something? Were you too busy practicing your acceptance speech to notice that your significant Best Supporting Other had turned a little, shall we say froid? Did your partner's birthday pass you by, or perhaps Valentine's Day was overlooked in the flurry of celebrity stylists brandishing gowns, jewels and purses? Well, it's time to get back in his good books with that perfect, exclusive gift. Anonyme, Paris creates one of a kind accessories just for men. Anonyme believes that anonymity is the ultimate luxury, a philosophy to which we're sure you can relate after the past few months' nonstop whirlwind of over-exposure in towering heels. Would handmade, white spazzolatto sneakers cheer him and help him forget the hours of silent, painful grinning in too-tight dress shoes? Or perhaps these exquisite, edgy but cool solid silver Skull cufflinks are more his style? You might even entice him to don a tuxedo once more with an exclusive accessory such as these by Anonyme, Paris from La Perfection Louis. It's certainly worth a try, don't you think?
Steal a snow day with the Boheme line of handmade skis and snowboards.
In Los Angeles, we're fortunate to enjoy the ultimate luxury of both the beach and the slopes right on our doorsteps, and this winter has seen a record snowfall on our local mountains. Is there anything more exhilarating and mind-clearing than schussing down the back-country? We believe that nothing relieves stress faster than hitting fresh powder, and what better way to do it than on Boheme's exclusive line of 100% handmade skis and snowboards, now available at La Perfection Louis in West Hollywood. These one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted pieces are created by Boheme's artisans at the base of the French Alps, and are the perfect choice for the expert free-rider and the best-dressed newbie alike. Making first tracks on the hand-carved edges of your Boheme skis will immediately take your thoughts away from the stress and strains of award season's celebrity circus. Boheme's equipment is designed to perform like no other, and you'll be confident in the knowledge that no one on the piste will be stealing your look. These exclusive pieces are available now, by appointment only at La Perfection Louis on Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood. The mountains are calling. Reward yourself.
Why crave an Oscar when you can collect a Charbonnel?
While your loved one or yourself may be happy to have just been nominated, nothing quite softens the blow of cinematic defeat like an exquisite piece of art. These bronze sculptures by French master Christophe Charbonnel are both one of a kind and extremely collectible, and you don't need to write a speech to accept one. La Perfection Louis is offering its clientele private viewings of Charbonnel's exclusive collection in the peaceful environs of its West Hollywood showroom. Christophe Charbonnel enjoys great renown in his home country, yet his fine, neoclassical pieces are virtually unknown to the American art collector, and are at present a great investment. Monsieur Charbonnel does not follow art-world trends, and his bronzes will never become passe'. Any collector with a discerning eye will recognize the visual purity and classical elegance of Charbonnel's work and will enjoy these pieces forever.
The House of Duvelleroy and a return to the delicate art of flirting.
The storied House of Duvelleroy was founded on the Rive Droite in Paris in 1827 by Jean-Pierre Duvelleroy and was born out of one romantic Frenchman's dream: to bring hand-fans back into the hands of elegant women. A sumptuous ball given by the Duchess de Berry would make his dreams come true: one dance and fans were back. This was the illustrious start of the House of Duvelleroy. Now, La Perfection Louis wishes to continue Monsieur Duvelleroy's ambitions and offer his exclusive, handmade fans to their modern, stylish clients here in Los Angeles. The hand-fan has a fascinating history. It was used extensively as a means of communication and flirting from the 16th century onwards in some European societies, especially in England and Spain. A whole sign language was developed with the use of the fan, and even etiquette books and magazines were published on the subject. Queen Victoria herself carried hand fans created by the House of Duvelleroy.
The use of the fan was not limited to women, as men also carried fans and learned how to convey messages with them. For instance, placing the fan near your heart meant "I love you", while opening a fan wide meant "Wait for me". Isn't that so much more mysterious and seductive than texting? Wouldn't a beautifully crafted silk or feather hand-fan by House of Duvelleroy make the perfect addition to your next red-carpet ensemble? Why not start a fabulous, flirtatious new fashion? These one of a kind pieces are available now at La Perfection Louis, by appointment only on Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood. Spring is around the corner, and ones thoughts turn irrevocably to romance; so how glamorous would it be to flutter and flirt with a scarlet silk hand fan in your delicate hand instead of a smartphone? T'oujours l'amour, mes amies!
