I put together a very European ensemble all within one swoop of a thrift store. I found this ultra luxurious Rayurewhite blouse made in France size 44 or USA size 14, which isn’t a true14 by any means, this blouse is more like a size 6. It is made fromspandex and nylon so it could possible stretch to a size 14 but thatwould be stretching it! Sometimes I don’t know where these Europeandesigners come up with their measurements, really I don’t. I LOVE myItalian and French designers but you just have to try everything on andnever go by what the tag says. Ok getting back to the white Rayureblouse RAYURE is based on a timeless fashion design concept of blackand white colour, which took influence from “stripes” It is alsorealization of a young French designer’s dream and the unification of acouple’s love in 1993. Fascinated by the wonderful world of fashionsince young, Cindy BENHAMOU became a fashion designer through theinfluence of her seamstress grandmother. After pursuing her fashionstudies at the ESMOD Fashion School, Cindy went on to enrich herexperience and hone her design skills with well-known French HauteCouture designers, Franck Sorbier and Jerome L’huillier. With thesupport of her husband who has a wealth of experience in fashionretail, RAYURE has grown to be an international and luxury niche brandover the years under the strong teamwork of the couple. I found thesegorgeous CalvinKlein made in Italy wool slacks size 6 that I think look terrificwith the Rayure blouse, talk about black / white.
