Why men are attracted to women who wear Lida Baday

 

I once told a woman she should never take off her Lida Baday dress. It looked that good on her. It fit her perfectly. It was more than sexy. It was captivating.

I know this woman well, but I had never  felt compelled to be so direct. The dress was just her. And more and more over the past few seasons, when I notice a woman for what she is wearing, she’s often wearing Lida. What gives?

 According to Jennifer Leavitt, owner and buyer for Blu’s, the magic is in all the places you can’t see. Baday, the daughter of a finicky dress maker with a well-deserved reputation for perfection, comes by her attention to detail honestly. Anyone can buy beautiful fabrics and they are worth every penny you’ll pay for them. But not everyone in the design world has the technical expertise of Lida Baday. She simply knows what she is doing with a piece of fabric. Think Da Vinci versus the doodles on your note pad.

But why are these construction details so appealing, especially to the opposite sex. The answer is a beautifully made dress moves with the wearer effortlessly, almost as if she is wearing nothing at all. Odd but true. When a garment fits properly and hugs the curves without splitting the seams you have the pairing of form and function that draws the best kind of attention. This is something that less expensive looks can never deliver.  

Giorgio Armani—Italy’s Most Successful Designer!

Long before the viral world of Gangnam style and a billion and half views, Giorgio Armani, a medical school dropout and son of a small town shipping manager started his own journey toward fame and fortune. His name is now one of the world’s most internationally recognized brands and despite being in the game since 1975, Giorgio Armani remains a favourite of style conscious minimalists all over the globe.

When we describe Armani the temptation is to always use words like classic and to be accurate his collections are just that—classically classic in fact. What bears remembering though is he is the designer above all others who moved fashion—all of fashion--  towards a less is more philosophy that holds true even today. No other person has come close to being that influential.

Join us this week as we celebrate the work of this exceptional man. Special one of a kind stock shows will be held at our stores on the dates below. See you at Blu’s soon.
