Fashion forward glances at the past

Franklin Porter lives and breathes fashion. You might say he was born for it. At an early age he often came home from elementary school commenting on what his teachers wore and, at sixteen, he started his own silk-scarf business.

Vivacious, charismatic, yet sensitive… and smart, Franklin is a nostalgic visionary who blends Vintage – classic designs reminiscent of the Golden Era of Hollywood – with modern, high-end trends. He believes that “self-expression is the true essence of being” and embraces fashion as an art form.

 “I want to give women a sense of glamour and inner beauty, as an expression of their own individuality, using fashion as the medium, with the quality found in vintage and fine contemporary clothing.”

Franklin has always been enamoured with Vintage, treasures of the past. This love affair really flourished working with fashion companies such as Gianni Versace, Harry Rosen and Hugo Boss. Over the years, he has become an expert at scouting out original apparel and accessories that capture the timeless elegance of a bygone era.

“The most exciting aspect of my passion is the mystery and history that envelopes these pieces, waiting to be discovered by aficionados, connoisseurs and those with a more eclectic sense of style.”

With over 25 years of experience in fashion and a diploma in Fashion Management and Merchandising, Franklin works closely with each of his clients and uses original pieces from different eras to form the basis of a style that accentuates their best features and personality. The results are always striking!
