Gaining vast momentum and attracting a strong following.

We are very selective when it comes to Red Carpet because above all, the history and potential
of the brand is far more important than diluting the exclusivity of the name.

Privacy is paramount to us
_
Visits are by appointment only, as the privacy of our clients, matched with the exclusivity of
the product requires a different approach. Catering to Europe, the USA, Middle East and UK’s
most elite couture connoisseurs, the house provides an exceptional all round service, which is
second to none and carries Nicholas’s personal touch in every detail.
