Renowned European designer Ms. Madeline Pauw recently made an appearance at a delightful luncheon at Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco, where her Spring 2013 collection was presented.
The Pauw collection is designed by Madeleine Pauw, daughter of the original founders. Pauw is known for its luxurious fabrics and soft touches of femininity while integrating just a splash of masculine undertones, but always keeping the fit and style in mind for the female physique. The company has been in business for over 50 years, and originally was created in the Netherlands where it currently has 29 stores.
You can purchase pieces from Pauw at Saks Fifth Avenue at 384 Post Street, San Francisco, or online at http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=*WtKz5z0O14&subid=&offerid=203719.1&type=10&tmpid=2174&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.&RD_PARM2=saksfifthavenue.com%2Fsearch%2FEndecaSearch.jsp%3F&RD_PARM3=bmForm%3Dendeca_search_form_one%2526bmFormID%3DjTyyuRD%2526bmUID%3DjTyyuRE%2526bmIsForm%3Dtrue%2526bmPrevTemplate%3D%252Fmain%252FShopByBrand.jsp%2526bmText%3DSearchString%2526SearchString%3Dpauw%2526submit-search%3D%2526bmSingle%3DN_Dim%2526N_Dim%3D0%2526bmHidden%3DNtk%2526Ntk%3DEntire%2BSite%2526bmHidden%3DNtx%2526Ntx%3Dmode%252Bmatchpartialmax%2526bmHidden%3Dprp8%2526prp8%3Dt15%2526bmHidden%3Dprp13%2526prp13%3D%2526bmHidden%3Dsid%2526sid%3D13DE7D1236DE” target=”new Saks Fifth Avenue
