New and renewed partnership
November 2014
Edito
It has certainly been a busy year for all of us,
working around the Marie Claire brand, and
many of you have been questioning the team
about the publishing of the next Newsletter...
So, here it is !
By Fabrice Taupin
2014 will be remembered as a year of re-organization at Marie Claire Paris. First of all,
due to the departure of Odile Charbonneau
for retirement after 30 years in the Group, followed by the new assignments to Tomomi, Ying and
Stéphanie. Second of all, because of our decision to conduct an audit on the brand, that will enable us
to explore, from 2015, new organizations and new territories with better efficiency. We are constantly
looking at ways to improve our business together and we thank you for your continuous support.
Licensing Director
In the meantime, we are celebrating another positive year with our licensees world-wide and are
proud to share some of the latest achievements from our partners in China, Japan, Korea and Australia. Please enjoy the Marie Claire family!

We are pleased to introduce the Marie Claire Paris “NATURE” line by TAMAHASHI or when Marie Claire
licensing becomes eco friendly.
TAMAHASHI has been our licensing partner for tableware and cookware in Japan since 1995. For the
season Fall/Winter 2014/15, the company decided to launch a series of tableware named “Nature”,
made in “bio-plastic” using “bamboo” ​​as a main raw material.
Bamboo is known as being eco-friendly in many ways: naturally growing fast, good to the air, helping
soil erosion, ect…It is one of today’s most environmentally responsible material.
This Marie Claire Paris “NATURE” tableware line, while being bio-degradable, remains functional and
stylish: elegant design, soft shapes, nice signature. A successful and innovating green range for Marie
Claire brand.

Designer tips
1ere Vision FW 15’16
By Patricia Beausoleil
Style Director
The FW 1516 season is focused on diversity, openness, mixing.
It adds enthusiastically effects of materials and fibers to multiply the impact of fabrics.
The general range of the show cultivates sophisticated pigmentations, explores the contrasts and works in
multiple viewing angles. A palette that combines a large majority of half faded shades of yellow and bright
sands, dark shades are reduced to burgundy essentials, dark brown and grey blue.
Weaves and prints are simplified in the manner of paper cutouts, geometric-inspired collages. Few flowers
and foliage are punched.
Shaded dyed yarns checks, window or country style checks are ubiquitous, their contrasts are mitigated by
brushed and emerised finishings.

Men’s trends FW 15’16
By Gilles Clarisse
Men’s fashion Designer
By Gilles Clarisse
Men’s fashion Designer
This season, we have identified three main themes for the Marie Claire Paris and Marie Claire
Homme wardrobe and accessories.
CONCRETE POETRY / Highlight sobriety and focus on the small details. Prefer flecked fabric, the
stranded, the tweedy, fiber with character. Favor
melted and faded patterns.
LIQUOR CLUB / Imagine an Italian dandy in the
English countryside. Emphasize on “Prince de
Galles” and checks in general. Refresh tradition
and classical motifs.
ART FAIR / Focus on blocks colors and maxi
stripes for a very graphic effect. Explore contemporary art. Wake essentials by geometric patterns.
