“Art Deco”, “Art Modernes” or “Modernistic Art”…..any way you say it, “GATSBY” will give you an eyeful!

With the buzz surrounding the forthcoming “Great Gatsby”, the term “Art Deco” is rolling off of everyone’s tongues. However, a little known fact is that to the contemporaries of the 1920′s the movement/style wasn’t called ‘Art Deco’. The style was called ART MODERNES in France and MODERNISTIC ART in the United States. The term “Art Deco” wasn’t coined until the mid/late 1960′s. Just a little fun fact for all you lovers of the period….such as myself.
For you ladies, what better way to get into the period than with the very chic Cloche and Bucket hats and Los Angeles pr firm, P3R  is happy to let you know that our client D&Y has the answer for you!  Be sure to get one and feel the spirit of (the worlds very first “IT” girl) Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Josephine Baker, Daisy Buchanan and Zelda Fitzgerald – iconic flappers of the 1920′s – who set the tone for their “Jazz Age” contemporaries.  I hope the movie is a success!Deco Pic 2 ~ Omar

P3R Celebrates the Colorful Life of Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau

faac537891db24b9accbeac8aabb73dda6c964fe

It was with a heavy heart and nimble fingers that I slipped on my favorite “Lilly” frock this Sunday morning. After hearing that fashion legend, and “Palm Beach princess of prints” Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau ,81, had passed away, wearing anything else didn’t feel right. As I stood in my closet staring at the many brightly colored, tropical prints that I have collected over the years, I realized that few dresses have ever made me so happy to possess.

It wasn’t until I read about her death in The New York Times that I learned that the popularity of the wild patterns and bold colors that I  love were a beautiful accident. Lilly Pulitzer’s cotton housedresses had originally been designed in 1959 to disguise potential citrus stains that might have occurred while Ms. Pulitzer was running a juice stand that she owned with her first husband Herbert Pulitzer, Jr., in Palm Beach. More than fifty years later, Lily Pulitzer‘s yearly sales surpass over $100 million, and the patterns that were meant to camouflage stains continue to be worn by the adventurous souls that desire nothing more than to stand out.

“I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy … fruits, vegetables, politics or peacocks,” Ms. Pulitzer told The Associated Press in 2009. “It was a total change of life for me, but it made people happy.” Ms. Pulitzer designed for the company until 1984, and continued to consult with the company until her death.

While the fashion world, and those of us at Los Angeles PR Firm, P3R mourn the loss of a style icon, who was more colorful than her clothing, we are reminded that, “Being happy never goes out of style.” (Lilly Pulitzer).

How adorable was AnnaSophia Robb in the most recent episode of The Carrie Diaries. In the last scene, Carrie happily struts down a street in NYC – “finally feeling like a real New Yorker”.
