Exotic drama - Ethologie by Jasper Garvida presented at Essie Persian Carpet

So many times I have walked pass the Essie Persian Carpet showroom in Piccadilly opposite to The Ritz in London, and last week, this family run carpet shop was a fitting venue for designer label Ethologie by Jasper Garvida to present a collection of beautiful dresses and striking ensembles.  

Bold patterns, exotic colours and gold touches echo the Persian and oriental patterns of Middle Eastern and north African cultures.

 

Equally dramatic are the bold jewellery that add that extra oomph!  What a collection.

Éthologie designer, Jasper Garvida, graduated in womenswear from the Central St. Martins, and has worked with labels such as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood.  Upon graduating, he swiftly gained the role of head designer for Michiko Koshino.  Referred to as “one of the young designers to watch out for”, in 2009, Jasper was a finalist for Fashion Fringe competition. His first collection debuted during London Fashion Week at ON/OFF, a leading independent fashion showcase platform for emerging and pioneering fashion and creative talents.

Jasper Garvida’s designs have appeared in Vogue Italia, Russian Vogue, ELLE, i-D, V magazine, Dazed and Confused, The Telegraph, Grazia and other fashion publications. His garments have been seen on performers and celebrities, including Katy Perry, Rhianna, Britney Spears, Florence Welch, Lady Gaga, Elizabeth Hurley, Sophia Coppola, Cheryl Cole, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, The Saturdays, Girls Aloud and Helena Christensen to name a few.  His show-stopping designs have graced the red carpets of high profile events such as the Oscars, the Golden Globes, MTV Awards, Cannes Film Festival, The Brit Awards and a plethora of other highly visible global events.
