Los Angeles Fashion : Renée Bardot
 
In Renée Bardot's birthplace of Frankfurt, Germany, her destiny was shaped at an early age as a primary fashion leader. Simply, she played dress-up with fabric scraps in her father's leather clothing company. It was in this arena, Renée would create elaborate gowns and costumes by draping chiffon or other discarded fabric over her five-year old frame. Renée's father had taken notice of his design protégé and began to teach her everything there was to learn about the hand-sewn coats, pants and jackets he sold and distributed throughout Germany in the late sixties.

As Renée grew older, her innate talent of working with fabrics became ever more apparent to her father. Thus, he took the pre-teen Renée under his tutelage, apprenticing the budding designer for the next six years. Renée's father was a haute couture sewer and he passed the generations-old art of creating clothing down to his apprentice. She eventually attended a German university in the study of history, and by the age of twenty, was selling her designs to fashion forward stores.

Before long, Renée moved to Amsterdam were she honed her business skills and opened her first store, Jezebel. She then moved back to Germany and worked as an assistant to the late designer C. Gordon. Nationally known in Germany, C. Gordon - along with his peers, Karl Lagerfeld, Wolfgang Joop, Uta Raasch and Iris von Arnim were part of the burgeoning German cultural Renaissance. Gordon's mastery of draping and European pattern-making greatly influenced Renée and her designing skills took on whole new artistic bent.

       
       
Cultural Education Her next stop was Waikiki, Hawaii. In this tropical climate, where sun and bare-skin are top priorities, Renée adapted quickly to warm weather fashions and opened a retail beachwear store named Donna. Her European aesthetics were tested but she produced stylish sun-n-turf wear generating a name for her on Oahu. Renée continued her education with pattern-making classes in Honolulu, giving her the ability to convert her metric measurements to American standards. Renée continued to travel the globe -- back to Germany, then to Rio de Janeiro, assimilating new ideas for fashions and furthering her cultural education.

Eventually, she wound up living in Los Angeles's Koreatown. After several years of working in and around the City of Angel's fashion design community, she decided to open the first Renée Bardot retail store on La Brea Avenue three years ago. Renée wanted to design contemporary wear for the modern woman, clothes that would be fun, sexy and hip without sacrificing the wearer's comfort. Also, she wanted to insure her clothes looked great in the day and could be worn well into the evening. Furthermore, Renée's original designs needed to travel well, accommodating women who loved to travel - much like her.

"Recently, a beautiful mother, with her equally lovely, twenty-something daughter were in the store. They were buying clothes for a trip. They are the people who buy my product. Women who are fashionable, stylish and know about the world," comments Renée. "My clothes look fresh right out of a suitcase which might have just traveled across the globe. Personally, I don't want to spend an hour ironing before I hit the nightlife of Singapore, Berlin or Paris and I don't think my clients want to either."

Inspired by her father, the designer C. Gordon and her wanderlust, Renée is now content as a designer in Southern California. She aspires to creating more retail boutiques bearing her name in flourishing neighborhoods where her contemporary and feminine designs will catch the eye of other trendsetters - paralleling Renée's own lifestyle.
