Jerome C. Rousseau, is a seriously on trend London shoe designer. His designs have already been coveted by many A-list actresses including Scarlett Johannson, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Katie Holmes and Eva Mendes….and now Victoria Beckham has been spotted wearing a remarkably similar design.
Born in Quebec, Jerome’s interest for design was shaped through art and music; “I started drawing shoes as a teenager after watching a Deee-Lite video clip. I was influenced by its unique styling, but it was the overstated retro footwear that first caught my attention.” Ah Yes, remember the ‘Groove is in the heart’ video?...explains it all now!
Jerome finessed his design skills for ten years in London and Los Angeles, where he worked alongside Matthew Williamson, Isabella Fiore, John Richmond and John Rocha, as well as Paris based forecasting house Promostyl.
Jerome C. Rousseau received ‘Launch of the Year’ at the Footwear News Awards in 2008 and the accessories award at the ‘Who Is On Next’ Awards for emerging talent, hosted by Vogue Italia in 2010.
His impressive portfolio to date includes collaborations with Peter Pilotto for his SS10 catwalk show at LFW, with famed film director Terry Gilliam for the Johnny Depp film ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ and most recently he was commissioned by Disney to design an exclusive shoe to celebrate the launch of the remake of Tron Legacy.
Victoria Beckham was recently seen in SoHo in New York City, earlier this month wearing a flouro pink dress and ankle boots. These on trend black boots bear an uncanny resemblance to the ‘Ceresato’ by Jerome C. Rousseau.
You can get Posh’s Look! In black leather with a stiletto high heel and platform, the easy to wear style will give you a touch of the A-list.
The acclaimed collections are available at Net-a-porter, Harvey Nichols and Dover Street Market in London as well as Fred Segal, Barney’s and Le Bon Marche to name a few international stockists.
Yesterday we reported on how a ‘Luxury Cognac Deserves A Luxury Drinks Cabinet’, the magnificent Martell Trunk by Pinel & Pinel. This stunning example of a luxury drinks cabinet is on show in Harrods Brompton road window.
Last night, however, the same Harrods window was the location for an exclusive celebrity dining experience….
This was luxury Cognac Martell’s high end version of ‘Come Dine With Me’, hosted by French gastronomic genius Raymond Blanc.
Blanc created a French themed four course menu for his guests including Sir Terry Wogan, model and TV personality Jodie Kidd, entrepreneurial designer Sir Terence Conran and star of The Apprentice, Karren Brady.
Commenting on the evening, Raymond Blanc said:
“This dinner with Martell showcased and celebrated much of what is beautiful in France that we have come to love; its food, its conviviality, its ‘art de vivre’. ‘Art de vivre’ is an untranslatable expression meaning everything that goes into making life joyous, elegant and expressive…be it the flowers and their complimentary fragrance, the porcelain that makes the food look delicious, the glasses that bring out the bouquet of a particular wine…and of course the fellowship and the celebration around the table. Tonight this dinner party has been a glorious moment to remember…and thanks to Harrods for having the imagination to honour us in staging this unique event in one of the most famous landmarks in the world.”
As you can imagine, this most unique window display caused quite a stir!
The Atelier Martell live dining experience was filmed and ‘fly on the wall’ highlights will be shown on the Martell Facebook page.
The Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is organizing its prestigious annual fundraising event the Collars & Coats Gala Ball, in the presence of the Home’s President, HRH Prince Michael of Kent GCVO.
This spectacular night of glitz, glamour and high octane entertainment will, once again, be one of the biggest events in London’s calendar.
In line with the stature of the event, the Collars & Coats Gala Ball attracts an extremely distinguished and influential list of guests, spanning ultra-high net worth individuals, British Aristocrats, Royalty, FTSE 100 corporates, VIPs and socialites, public figures and A-List international celebrities from film, music, art, literature, popular culture and sports, making the event an excellent corporate hospitality and networking occasion.
It is also a vital chance to raise funds to help the home continue its work with stray, abandoned and neglected animals. Only this week, it was announced an increase in stray dogs in the UK.
