"A quick rise of a french star
on the St. Petersburg horizon"

Paris has always been a trendsetter, whereas St. Petersburg has been observing and following fashion.

The French term Femme Etoile means a "star woman". The St. Petersburg boutique received its glittering name in honor of the first boutique of the famous French couturier Thierry Mugler, whose fashion collections were always distinguished by unusual elegance. Paris saw quite a few fairytale transfigurations happening to women who wore Mugler's dresses, since the secret of his magic lied in the unique technique of cutting-out... It was clothing for famous women, for wives and girlfriends of famous men... Today, the Femme Etoile boutique has an exclusive right to sell model dresses of the first line of the Thierry Mugler fashion house. In the last collection of this firm, practical dresses for business women peacefully coexist with extravagant goods for high society's sharp dressers. The boutique has the similar exclusive right to work with other French brands: Lolita Lempicka, Paco Rabanne, Jitrois, etc. In this boutique, a man with taste and subtle understanding of the rapidly changing fashion can choose for himself footwear and accessories from the trading houses of John Calliano, Emanuel and Chrisstian Dior, as well as boots and shoes with inlets of natural semi-precious stones, purses embellished with natural turquoise, glasses, bijouterie singing with Nora and fauna imagery, which is the cutting edge of world fashion...

Of special interest are pieces from the upcoming season collection of the Emanuel Ungaro fashion house, which has a burning name "Love" (Autumn-Winter, 2003-2004). The major motif of the collection is diverse draperies, which "sound" in skirts, trousers, and blouses. Sometimes, one can recognize in them Oriental and African tones, and all this exists in an amazing and harmonic combination with the European business suite.

Very soon, in the elite Grand Palace, Femme Etoile will be opening new boutiques, one of which will present collections from Christian Dior and Christian Lacroix, which might be called "Everything for home". Terry-cloth bathrobes, soft towels, bed-clothes and table-cloths coming out of creative daydreams of French designers, goods of crystal, porcelain, and glass - all these can not only decorate, but transform the living space of the St. Petersburg apartment. In all of the Femme Etoile boutiques, the first of which celebrated its 4th anniversary last March, you will find the service at the top European level, as well as the understanding of your secret, even most extravagant wishes.
