When it comes to French fashion, Paris tends to overwhelm with endless designer boutiques lining the streets, particularly in the Marais. The question is, how NOT to look like all the mannequins peering out the windows, enticing you to fall in love with the latest trend. Not to mention the women parading around the city, an ever changing fashion show. Thus, when I discover an independent designer that suits my (classic with a twist) fashion sensibility, I become a loyal follower.
One such designer I met by chance, as she happens to be my manufacturer’s wife. On first glance of her ‘elegant yet casually chic with just a touch of masculine’ ready-to-wear collections, I was smitten.
Suppan is unique not only in it’s Indo-Austrian roots but in it’s philosophy.
Our approach is to reconsider production standards. We build our collections through a humanistic point of view, starting from the conception up to the manufacturing process and propose a selection of timeless and handmade items in a limited edition, entirely crafted in Paris. We try to distance ourselves and our creative process from cultural and social conditioning and conformity and propose a bare aesthetic, contrasting with fine materials, refined treatments and handcrafted finishing details.
Yes, it’s all about quality and details.
This weekend join us in Paris for a VENTE PRIVÉE, as we showcase our limited edition pieces, womenswear by Suppan and handbags by Kasia Dietz. Many of my new handbags will be featured!
VENDREDI 30 + SAMEDI 31 MARS : 11 H À 20 H
DIMANCHE 1 AVRIL : 10 H À 17 H

Ooh, love it…my style too! I do get very overwhelmed shopping for fashion in Paris…next time I need to get more specific. 😉
Susan, on your next trip to Paris I will introduce you to Suppan! (In the past she designed baby collections too!)
PS I loooove the all-black outfit 🙂
Very beautiful things, Kasia. The asymmetrical neckline is so attractive in the blouse in the last photo — and all is just as you wrote: “classic with a twist.” Nice.
Am I the only one who would like to see some pics of you modeling an ensemble by Suppan?! Who else thinks that’s a good idea? 🙂 I really can see you in these things! Lovely!
Funny you should ask Karin. I did a fitting for the latest Suppan collection (was great fun trying on all the clothes considering how much I love them!) I didn’t show those photos since they are not yet being sold…. perhaps in another post!
I too love this style. Would love to find a perfect outfit/dress that looks amazing. Problem is that I’m very curvy and I have yet to find any designer in Paris who can make curves look good!
It’s true that French women are usually very slim and designers cater to that (as most designers all over the world do) but I’m sure you can find one that will flatter you… I will keep my eyes open.
That would be worth an impromptu trip to Paris! Your handbags are beautiful, and thank you for introducing us to Suppan. I love the blouse with the split back. I play the harp, and it’s always a challenge to find beautiful things to wear that allow me to not only reach forward to play easily, but to do all the bending and lifting necessary to load the 100-pound thing.
Hmmm…split back blouses…
I love, love, love that black dress with the draping top – I clicked on her site but couldn’t get any real info. How do we find her clothes??? I need that black dress!

Patricia, I agree that the black dress is gorgeous, as are many of her pieces! You can contact the designer at contact@suppan-paris.com for more info.
I am also a fan having seen these photos. There is a very elegant charm to this collection. I wish I had been able to attend this event. Should I make it over to Paris to see you, please take me!

I will take you for a private visit to the showroom 🙂
Oh, this is beautiful! Exquisite, sophisticated, classics with a twist–that’s my kind of collection….thanks for covering this line! Any chance she sells in NYC?
Happy you love her style too! She does sell in the Hamptons, not sure about NYC…
