The company has been able to quickly design and develop the capsule collection and is on track for the October launch despite the difficulties in Peru. She definitely was the core of most of it.” It really looks like Peruvian Connection, but on steroids with Glenda Bailey. She helped us evolve in a very authentic way. Her inspiration enabled us to take another look at a collection which has had beautiful pieces, but has been fairly safe. “One of the first things she said to me was ‘fashion is exaggeration.’ Such a simple sentence, but really brilliant. She shared her secrets of appealing to a fashion crowd,” said Hurlbut Zander.
“Glenda saw what we needed: a little push. I’m used to dealing with a lot of divas, and I’m thrilled to say this was not the case.” But frankly I was not going to be the next Karl Lagerfeld, so I was very keen to find an area of the industry where perhaps I could have an influence, and hence I became an editor.” Since leaving Harper’s Bazaar, Bailey said she’s been consulting on different sides of the industry, including financial, marketing and design.įrom the Glenda Bailey Peruvian Connection collection.īailey characterized the capsule collection as “pretty extensive, with 74 styles” and said her experience at Peruvian Connection has been “an exploration into craftsmanship.…The process of being able to work with talented designers was a complete joy. “For a student, that was a tremendous opportunity. It just depends on their sensibility and their desire to express themselves.”īailey studied at Kingston University in England, where she aspired to become a designer and won student design competitions, which entitled her to visit design houses in Europe on trips organized by the university, including Valentino, Fendi and others. I don’t think every editor would even want to do design. That knowledge was incredibly helpful coming into this project. But I was fortunate because I actually studied design and worked in a factory that manufactured clothing, to put myself through university. So many editors come from journalism as opposed to design. On Tuesday, the capsule collection will be previewed at the Explorers Club in Manhattan, where preorders will be taken.Ī sketch of a Glenda Bailey Peruvian Connection outfit.Īsked if a career in fashion publishing can be parlayed into a successful fashion design career, Bailey replied: “Not necessarily. Glenda Bailey and Peruvian Connection are spelled out on the label. It’s also the first time Peruvian Connection - a 46-year-old fashion brand known for Andean textile tradition, high-quality Peruvian alpaca knits and artisan craftsmanship - has tapped an outsider to collaborate with its design team. The collaboration marks the first time Bailey has designed a collection professionally.

Priced from $88 to $3,800, the collection will be sold starting in October on and in the brand’s six stores in the U.S., plus the one in London. Now Glenda Bailey, who was editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar from May 2001 until February 2020, has ventured into the profession by collaborating with Peruvian Connection on a fall 2022 capsule collection of alpaca knits, shearling coats, pullovers, dresses, trousers and jewelry. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Habitually Chic.Before they all became fashion designers, Liz Lange was a staff writer at Vogue, Kate Spade was an accessories editor at Mademoiselle, and Vera Wang was a senior fashion editor at Vogue. I also love these Damask Pima Cotton Jogger Pants for lounging around in cooler weather and there is also a matching Damask Robe. The Astrid Dress comes in wine and black. The Pima Cotton San Remo Dress is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall. These Motorcycle Pants are one of the best selling items at Peruvian Connection and come in multiple colors. Get this Chancery Alpace Coat before it sells out!
Needless to say, I love the color of this Handweavers Scarf. I’ve been looking for a green dress to add to my closet and this Ginerva Pima Cotton Dress might be just the one for fall. My closet is already filled with grey coats or else I’d be buying this B aby Alpaca Tweed Car Coat too. I’ve never met a cable knit sweater I didn’t love and this Galway Alpaca Crewneck Sweater is at the top of my fall wish list. While the exact coat above won’t be available until later, the Neville Baby Alpaca Car Coat is very similar.
It’s filled with pima cotton and baby Alpaca pieces that will perfectly transition to cooler temperatures. While the Peruvian Connection fashions I saw being photographed in Peru in May won’t be in online and in store until later this year, the Fall 2016 collection is available now.
