Garment of the Week: Partimi

As the old adage ‘third time lucky’ rings true, this week I’ve successfully narrowed down my selection to just one solitary garment, the mesmerising Dieu Bleu T-dress. Created by Eleanor Dorrien-Smith in 2009, the Partimi label got me rather excited at LFW back in September, with its eye-catching prints, luxe fabrics and cold, sleek colour palette.

A woman after my own heart, Dorrien-Smith’s approach to fashion is one of sustainability. Having recently launched Partimi’s first full ready-to-wear collection (back in September) Dorrien-Smith is a fantastic advocate for ethical and responsible fashion, which saw her chosen as the runner-up in the ‘Design for a Thriving Fashion Industry Award’ category at the Fashioning the Future Awards back in 2009 – a ceremony I was privileged to attend and review.

Inspired by and designed in homage to costumes her grandmother collected from a sale of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes costumes at Sotheby’s in the late 60s, the SS11 collection entitled Dieu Bleu utilises organic fabrics and yarns to great effect, creating a fresh and contemporary collection of elegant dresses and separates. With simple silhouettes and stunning digital prints at the fore, I’m tipping great success for both Dorrien-Smith and the Partimi label in 2011.

PARTIMI on VERY NICE THREADS - What to look out for in 2011

What to look out for in 2011

Posted on 01 January 2011 by Christine de León

1. Michelle Lowe-Holder is a jewellery designer who caught my eye at Estethica at last September’s Fashion Week. The pieces are highly structured, upcycled and edgy.

2. I was pretty blown away by William Tempest’s show last February, and while this designer isn’t an eco-fashionista, I adored his theatrical display, concept and of course the couture.

3. Joanna Cave, another jewellery designer I have my eye on. The pieces are intricately cut, feminine and warm.

4. Lost Property of London. Upcycled coffee bags by this London duo. Already signed up to Liberty’s. Watch out for them.

5. Partimi. Beautiful deep blue silk dresses inspired by the Ballets Russes. I know the whole early 90s indie girl look is creeping up on us,so I’d bag one of these frocks and pair them with a vintage pair of 16-hole doc martens. One for the bad-ass ballerina girls.

6. Tammam. Ethical bridal couture. I’m also a big fan of her suits. Looking forward to more.

7. Christopher Raeburn. Upcycled macs.

8. Chunky knit cables and brogues.

9. Your granny’s fur coat. Really, second hand fur is OK in my book. Wearing it is better than having it end up in a landfill.

10 I’m thinking the drainpipe look on men has got to end now. Looking forward to seeing an alternative to the Pete Dougherty look. I’m edging toward waistcoats and tweed.
