PHILIPP PLEIN OPENING IN BEVERLY HILLS

 

Designer Philipp Plein is in the midst of a dynamic expansion plan in the United States.  Following  the 2013 NYC showroom and Miami boutique openings and the  September 2014 inauguration of the New York City flagship on Madison Avenue, the brand will celebrate the opening of the Beverly Hills boutique on October 27^th 2014, the third flagship in the United States and the 38th worldwide.

The 140 square meter , bi-level  flagship  is located on Beverly Hills’ famed  Rodeo Drive, renowned for luxury shopping.  For this important milestone  the designer sustains the new minimal-luxury concept already unveiled at the New York boutique  with emphasis on the hexagonal logo of the PP brand.  Customers are welcomed at the entrance by the trademark giant skull   studded in jet white CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements.  Illuminated hexagonal elements in polished steel adorn the  essential and contemporary atmosphere and become  the identifying architectural image of the brand.  The store interior features rhythms and repetitions of the hexagon, from illuminated display shelves to an impressive ceiling overlaid with  a geometric grill of polished steel.  The elegance of black and white stone is featured throughout the store, giving a feeling of strength and sophistication.  Accented by luxurious materials including crocodile embossed leather, the space is dominated by a stunning custom made Murano smoked glass chandelier.

Designer Philipp Plein states:  “I visited the United States with my family  when I was fifteen, and was captivated by its pioneer spirit. Today America is my new frontier and Los Angeles is my dream city.  I am always struck by the L.A. lifestyle that focuses so strongly on aesthetics, glamour and having fun, the same basic elements that make up every collection I design.  I would love to live here if it were not so far from my headquarters.  Hopefully one day I will.”

 

Address:  250 North  Rodeo Drive -  Beverly Hills, California

 

MY AMERICAN DREAM

PHILIPP PLEIN

Women’s Fall/Winter 2014/2015 Fashion Show

  

Milan, 23 February 2014. As the stage lights up, a customized black matte Chevrolet El Camino appears at a vintage gas station. The car door opens and British actress/pop star Rita Ora descends , decked out in studs and cowboy hat , and gives a high voltage performance kicking off the PHILIPP PLEIN women’s fall/winter 2014/2015 fashion show.

 

Legendary super model and international celebrity Naomi Campbell appears on the catwalk to introduce the new collection, Philipp Plein’s personal homage to the American Dream. A grand finale of fireworks that engulf the El Camino, followed by a huge explosion on the mega led screen mark the end of the show in grandiose Texan style.

“I visited Dallas with my family when I was fifteen, and was captivated by its pioneer spirit. Today America is my new frontier. I designed this collection looking west. Using precious fabrics and sophisticated skins like hand brushed, gold flecked python, not to mention strong denim pieces inspired by the American Dream. I created ultra- feminine dresses adorned with tartan flounces and veils in contrast with voluptuous limited edition evening silhouettes embellished with delicate leather paillettes. Black & gold dominate the collection alternating with houndstooth, mink and chinchilla for dramatic effect.”

Following the inauguration of the New York showroom and the Miami boutique in 2013, PHILIPP PLEIN will continue the US expansion in 2014, opening flagship stores in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

Noor Rashid Al Khalifa
Founder, CEO and Designer, Noon By Noor
Date of Birth: August 17, 1985
Place of Birth: Riffa, Kingdom of Bahrain

As a graduate of Arts and Science (Fashion Design) from Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia (USA), Noor has returned to her homeland of Bahrain to develop a line that captures her intrinsic vision of fashion. Her unconventional career choice was driven by a life-long passion to translate her vision to paper and transform her artwork to life.

Her hobbies include Photography, Painting, Designing and Traveling.

Haya Mohammed Al Khalifa
Co-Founder, COO and Designer, Noon By Noor
Date of Birth: September 11, 1984
Place of Birth: London, England

Also a graduate from Marymount University’s Arts and Science (Fashion Design) degree program, Haya has joined forces with her cousin Noor to add her own creative influence into the Noon By Noor line. Though her decision to take on fashion design came about at a later stage, her extensive travels throughout the world have led her to the footsteps of this innovative industry.

Hobbies: Traveling, Photography, and Reading

Noor and Haya combine influences from their homeland along with international styles, to create a captivating balance between the traditional and modern, while capturing the essence of timeless femininity.

The name for the line, Noon By Noor, comes from the Arabic letter ‘N’, pronounced as ‘noon’.

Noon By Noor is an exciting new label that is set on making an impact on the world of fashion through elegant, exotic creations that are designed to flatter the modern woman while taking inspiration from timeless styles. It is a decidedly feminine brand that combines luxurious fabrics and intricate embellishments, granting the line its qualitative edge.

Noon By Noor designers, Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa, adorn lavish fabrics with unexpected details, such as hand stitching, and homemade accents to add dimension and individuality to each piece. The label offers an array of tailored dresses, embellished silk jackets and statement separates that can be worn in casual sophistication by day, or in exquisite elegance by night.

In February 2011, Noon By Noor opened an exclusive showroom in the popular Seef district of Bahrain, where select customers have the opportunity to experience the line in its entirety. The five-floor establishment houses all of Noon By Noor operations, from design to tailoring and administration, while the showroom acts as an exclusive venue for fashion shows.

Noon By Noor held a successful launch event in Los Angeles in July 2011, with a number of celebrities in attendance including Kim Kardashian and Lo Bosworth, who were both wearing Noon By Noor, as well as Demi Lovato and AnnaLynne McCord. In February 2012, Noon By Noor held an event in New York during New York Fashion Week to present the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection with Blake Lively in attendance wearing Noon By Noor. Other guests at the highly publicized event included Maria Menounos and Joe Zee.

In September 2012, Noon By Noor presented their Spring/Summer 2013 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. This landmark achievement marked the first ever GCC brand to be invited by IMG to present at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The show was deemed a huge success with international press praising the collection. Sitting front row was fashion it-girl Olivia Palermo, socialite Cory Kennedy and actress India de Beaufort, all wearing Noon By Noor Resort 2013. Also at the show was Nicky Hilton, photographer and blogger Scott Schuman, stylist Robert Verdi and actress Sami Gayle.

2011 marked the launch of the Noon By Noor online boutique. The collections can also be found at Saks Fifth Avenue Bahrain and Harvey Nichols, Kuwait with more locations to be added in the near future.
