Veronique Branquinho is Back! (Forum Buzz)

“Gibò will focus on re-establishing the brand in quality stores around the world starting with ready-to-wear and shoes, followed in the future by accessories.”

Forum members, like Scott, were especially excited about Branquinho’s return to ready-to-wear. “YEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” he exclaimed. “Sorry, but so thrilled when I saw this,” he continued. “But Branquinho hasn’t been totally invisible these last years,” he reminded us. “She’s also worked a sunglass line for Linda Farrow, a collaboration shoe-line with Camper, and her line of handbags for the Belgian leather-goods company Delvaux.” Among other projects. Branquingo also recently presented a lingerie collection with Marie Jo L’Aventure at Antwerp Fashion Week. She may have shut down her own label, but she’s definitely been keeping busy.

“Much like Jil [Sander, who is also returning to her eponymous label next season, Branquinho] is all about strong, independent women. Anxious (and I must say I’m kind of confused) about what she meant by ‘a bit more adult’ collection,” missbluejean posted.

Whether the collection is a “bit more adult” or not, forum members have high expectations for Branquinho’s return. Her runway presentation is sure to be hotly anticipated once Paris Fashion Week rolls around.
