MADAME GRES COUTURE PARIS
The definitive monograph on iconic Parisian designer Madame Grès, seen by her peers as the tutelary genius of French haute couture. Renowned for her signature draping and innovative asymmetrical dresses, Madame Grès (1903–1993) was one of the leading fashion designers of twentieth-century Paris. Formally trained as a sculptor, her complex yet delicate haute couture designs evoke ancient statuary and exude a timeless elegance.Known as a designer’s designer, Madame Grès’s prime was between the 1930s and 1950s, but she also saw a comeback in the 1970s, with Yves Saint Laurent and Issey Miyake advocating for her work. A pioneer of sophisticated minimalism and of the attention and respect for the female body, she has had a lasting effect on haute couture. Her creations have inspired many of fashion’s most illustrious designers including Cristóbal Balenciaga, Azzedine Alaïa, Yohji Yamamoto, and Haider Ackermann, and 1990s pioneers of contemporary minimalism Calvin Klein and Jil Sander. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations to design clothes that enhance the movement of the body without compromises.

lovely words from our customers
I’m so in love with my Peggy and Twig earrings! I’ve brought the Audrey and the Layla earrings and they just compliment everything I wear! Whether I’m popping out for a coffee or attending a wedding, my earrings just add that final touch to my outfit.

I love my Peggy and Twig pearls. I have both the Rose Studs and the Clementine and equally love them both, so much so that sometimes I wear both of them at the same time. They are comfortable in my ears and the always add an extra element of elegance. Thank you! Also they are affordable! Can’t wait to one day by one of your bigger pieces! 🥰

I absolutely adore my collection of ‘Peggy and Twig’ earrings. They are Timeless, Classy and Elegant. The perfect addition to any jewellery box and outfit. What makes me love the earrings even more is that fact that the purchase supports a small, rural business. I can’t wait to add to my little collection. My collection: Ava, Bobbie, Nina. Rachel.
I am a huge fan of your beautiful earrings. I have a set of the Rose studs which I wear almost everyday. They are my absolute favourite! I'm forever getting compliments about them. I also have a set of the Clementine drop earrings which I love for dressing up. They are so elegant yet understated. I hope to add to my collection too as they are all so beautiful!

I can’t begin to express how much I love the style and creativity of Peggy & Twig’s pearl earrings!!! I love them so much, I bought 3 pairs in my first order. I purchased the Layla, Skye and clementine styles and wear one of these three daily. Each piece is a classy, unique, statement that gets recognised by others, often asking me ‘where are those earrings from?’ The attention to detail Em puts in to creating each piece is outstanding and I would highly recommend Peggy & Twig jewellery to everyone. Thank you for making such beautiful creations, Em.
