Margaretha Ley established a reputation for her strong sense of bright colors.  She selected vivid colors in reaction to her childhood in Sweden, where the northern light tended to mute colors. Ley's designs, and the company's commitment to the high-quality, luxury goods segment, helped the company grow quickly.    Escada high-priced line was, as Margaretha Ley herself once described it, "for the working woman with a certain amount of money." Ley's collection was also extensive, designed to clothe a woman from head to toe. By the early 1990s, the Escada line featured more than 1,200 pieces, and included jewelry, handbags, accessories, gloves, scarves, and footwear.   Escada developed other labels to be produced in-house to complement its growing Escada and Laurel lines. During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, the company launched or acquired a number of labels, including its own Crisca label, and the Apriori and Natalie Acatrini labels. The company's knitwear segment grew significantly in 1989 when the company reached an agreement to acquire 80 percent of California-based St. John Knits. Like Escada, St. John was a family-controlled company targeting the high-end and luxury segments. The acquisition not only gave Escada a manufacturing presence in the United States, it also boosted its presence in major department stores such as Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue.   In 1992, Margaretha Ley died at the age of 56. In order to pay down its debt, the company sold off its 80 percent stake in St. John Knits that year. The company also moved its accessories production to France in 1994, forming the new subsidiary Escada Development in Paris.  Overall, Escada by Margaretha Ley in the late 80s were stunning and of excellent quality of my collection speaks for itself.  Compiled by GAF for Hapa Chico © 1/13/07       ABOUT LEATHER: According to findings, skins and pelts—and later the leather made from these—were the first garments worn by mankind in the northern areas of the temperate climate zones.  Leather remains today an important, fascinating and popular material.   Perhaps as n instinctive response to our prehistoric past, or a tactical reaction to its soft, supple, surface, leather has become a favorite among fashion designers and consumers alike.  This valuable material is appropriate, depending on the treatment of the skins, for exclusive elegant fashions, as well as for sporty casual clothing.     The uniqueness of leather:   Leather breathes, but offer at the same time protection from wind Leather lets water vapor from your body out but does not let Moisture in Leather is ideal for sensitive skins and thus a very healthy material Leather offers protection from the cold in winter and is just as wearable in summer Leather keeps its shape well, without losing its natural elasticity and is thus comfortable Leather is a valuable material, but not fragile.  It is an easy-maintenance fabric Leather is hard-wearing and does not tear.  It is durable an ages well, gaining an attractive, desirable appearance COMPILED BY GAF FOR HAPA CHICO     Visit Our eBay Store: Hapa Chico The Web-home for ECO-SMART fashionistas! ™   Hapa Chico® offers high-end recycled couture invitingly priced so that ECO-SMART customers stand out from the crowd.™  Contact Information  Disclaimer Privacy and Policy Payment and Return  Shipping and Handling Be sure to add me to your favorites list!   COPYRIGHT: Copyright 2006.
