Lions, Tigers, and Lanvin oh my!

It seems that no matter where Jeeves turns these days he can not escape the classic stylings of French fashion house, Lanvin.

Between constant fashion editorials and red carpet appearances your man Jeeves found himself craving the silhouettes and fabrics of this internationally recognized label.

How fortunate for Jeeves ( and the rest of Manhattan) that first New York Lanvin store has opened up right again at Jeeves’ doorstep.

The new three-story Madison Avenue location  has already created quite the stir with its impeccable interior design and mysterious allure.

You can imagine the excitement that surged through Jeeves when the shop received their first Lanvin piece for cleaning care.

It makes sense however that an international label such as Lanvin would recognize the caliber of cleaning that comes from the only worldwide garment care firm in existence. Incredible couture such as Lanvin deserves nothing less than the Jeeves touch.

Something must be in the air as your man Jeeves can not seem to get enough of all the fabulous weddings and wedding details this summer.

From the venue to the cake, and the top notch security nothing could compare to the two exquisite gowns that Chelsea selected from designer Vera Wang.

The Latest Wedding Style Statement

Now your man Jeeves may be an old fuddy duddy when it comes to weddings, but never in his wildest dreams would he have guessed brides would opt to sport a a garter and a diaper under their wedding gowns!

Not to fear your eyes are not deceiving you it is simply the latest bridal trend that is sweeping the nation; bridal diapers. Many modern brides are so concerned with missing out on their party or simply are unable to easily shimmy out of their scivvys so they are purchasing a diaper to wear on their big day.

Jeeves was quite intrigued by this fad, so he did some further research to see what distinguished bridal diapers from regular adult diapers. What he found were minor differences, so minor in fact that most women are wearing adult diapers and adding their own style and wedding personality through lace and other embellishments they are adding to their diapers.

In all the articles Jeeves read he was unable to locate one quotation from a groom whose new wife donned a diaper on her big day.

Although these brides may have figured out how to avoid one of the less sanitary locations of the reception, that is not to say her her dress was not soiled in other ways. Such as cake, or champagne.

If your wedding dress was soiled or dirtied during your big day there is an answer even simpler than adult diapers, and that is Jeeves New York. Jeeves has over 25 years experience in cleaning and preserving wedding gowns. Additionally Jeeves New York is the only luxury garment care provider in the state of New York to offer chemical free wedding gown cleaning.

For the very best in wedding gown care in New York City, simply call your man Jeeves.

Keep Your Whites Bright Without Worrying About the Sun

There is nothing quite like the feel of linen against your skin and the sand between your toes. Your man Jeeves enjoyed the long holiday weekend basking in the sun in South Hampton with friends and family.

Jeeves always looks forward to Memorial Day Weekend as it not only marks the official beginning of the summer season, but it also permits him to break into a whole part of his wardrobe that he has abandoned since September. He has longingly stared at his seersucker and white linen pants as they adorn his shelves and not his body.

Jeeves is even more excited to wear his summer whites this season , for now he can  dry clean them in a manner that will keep them bright and white all summer long without that dingy tinge of gray that has ruined so many pieces in the past.

How?

Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse process that is Simply Green. Simply Clean. Simply Better for you. If you have tried our carbon dioxide cleaning process on the items in your regular wardrobe and noticed the difference imagine what it will do to brighten your whites!

Jeeves recognizes that many people are confused by how this environmentally friendly process cleans better than traditional dry cleaning, so as always he is here to make sure that you understand how to provide the best possible care for your wardrobe.

Ordinary dry cleaning uses filters to keep the dry cleaning solvent clean during the “wash phase”,  however if these filters aren’t kept perfectly clean you end up cleaning white clothes in dirty solvent. It would be the same thing as you taking a bath in water that had been previously used by 10 people before you…no thank you.

Jeeves wonders why  if people wouldn’t do that to themselves than why would they consider doing that to their clothes?!

ECO2 Cleanse cleans your clothing in a cleaning solution that is similar to the ingredients in hand sanitizer. After your clothes are  rinsed in pure liquid CO2 FOUR TIMES!  This rinse phase removes all suspended soil and restores clothes back to their original brightness, and also prevents them from turning gray.

Solvair can even restore clothes that have been turned gray and ruined from previous summer seasons.

So whether you are jet setting to The Hamptons, Fire Island, Martha’s Vineyard, or simply enjoy the privilege of wearing your whites you can trust Jeeves to care for all your dry clean only white clothes so that you can wear them for many more summers to come.

For the best dry cleaner to care for your summer wardrobe the only choice is Jeeves New York.

Today was too hot for Jeeves, so instead of taking a stroll at lunch he surfed the web and came across some very shocking news on ecostiletto.com…

According to the EPA, each one of us throws out 70 lbs. of clothing and textiles every year, that’s 4% of the landfill!!! The ladies at ecostilleto encourage ” closet monogamy”, and discourage ” disposable fashion”.

American Women: Fashioning a National Identity

Not too far away from  your man Jeeves fashionable women have been taking over the Upper East Side ( more so than usual) due to the opening of the latest exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, ” American Women: Fashioning a National Identity.”

As you know Jeeves is a big proponent of the fine arts, so for an exhibit to showcase what he knows best has him a wee bit excited.

The exhibit is a collaboration between The Brooklyn Museum and The MET, as they are both currently showing these complimentary exhibits simultaneously now through August.

The decades covered in the exhibit range from  1890-1940. According to the museum’s website,  “the exhibition will reveal how the American woman initiated style revolutions that mirrored her social, political, and sexual emancipation. “Gibson Girls,” “Bohemians,” and “Screen Sirens,” among others, helped lay the foundation for today’s American woman.”

Jeeves’ favorite part about this exhibit is that the audio guide is done by none other than the epitome of evolving American fashion and a hometown favorite, Sarah Jessica Parker.

This exhibit was kicked off with the annual Costume Institute Gala on Monday, May 3 and all of Jeeves’ favorite celebrities and designers were dressed to impressed. Many of the designers accompanied the celebrity they had outfitted for the evening.

Although Jeeves is partial to British women, he can surely understand and respect all the qualities that make an American woman, and greatly anticipates visiting this exhibit with Mrs. Jeeves.

If the celebrity styles from the Gala, or the exhibit pieces have inspired you and your wardrobe you know that Jeeves’ door is always open, for he is the best in fine garment care all throughout New York City.

Have you been to visit this exhibit? Let your man Jeeves know what you think!

Convertible Wedding Dresses

As a man of style, Jeeves has always been a  big proponent of versatility. There are few things in one’s wardrobe than a piece that can be worn multiple ways…

Recently, many bridal designers have caught on to this trend and are incorporating two piece gowns into their collections. Whether it is the functionality of the gown or an indecisive bride these dresses are making appearances all over the globe.

Some brides have shared with Jeeves that they wanted a classic,traditional look for their ceremony however wanted to be able to let loose and put on their dancing shoes for the reception which is why they opted for a convertible dress.

These dresses come in all shapes and sizes, with detachable skirts so that brides no longer have to worry about someone holding their ballgown skirt over their head while they use the loo , or worrying that some clumsy guest will spill red wine on the train.

With these new fashions brides can remain elegant and poised throughout their ceremony and photographs, and then slip into something more fun for their party. After all isn’t the wedding all about the dress anyways? So why not have two!

Jeeves’ favorite part about these gowns is that their versatility allows for sustainability. Some designers such as Adele Wechsler have pieces that one can incorporate right into their every day wardrobe. Other designers with convertible collections are Carolina Herrera and Badgeley Mischka just to name a few.

Luckily,for these savvy brides your man Jeeves can assist them with the maintenance of these gowns with his chemical free ECO2 Cleanse system. This will keep their wedding gowns as white as they were before they went down the aisle , and for the shorter dress keep it fresh for reuse whenever they like.

Jeeves is the only luxury provider in Manhattan, and among 12 in the nation to feature this exclusive service for the cleaning and preservation of wedding gowns.

For the best in bridal care just pop in and come visit your man Jeeves. There is nothing he loves more than a blushing bride.

Send Your Wardrobe on a Summer Vacation With Jeeves

Have you and your closet become overwhelmed recently by the merging of your wardrobes during this transitional season? Allow your man Jeeves to offer his assistance yet again to ensure that your wool and linen pants will not have to coexist in the limited space also known as your closet.

Send your winter wardrobe away on a summer vacation with Jeeves, and he will store and care for all those bothersome and bulky winter garments you are ready to shed.

Before putting your clothes in summer storage Jeeves recommends cleaning, so that your clothing is returned to you just as you put it away.

  • If stains are not removed prior to cleaning they will set and oxidize during the summer months and it may be too late to remove once taken out of storage.
  • Make sure your clothing isn’t a late night snack for moths as they are particularly  attracted to perspiration, cologne, and stains especially on fabrics such as wool and cashmere.
  • You want to make sure that your clothing is fresh for wear next winter when you are ready to wear it, so that you don’t have to send it out for cleaning when you really need it.

If  you would like for Jeeves and his staff to collect your winter wear for storage all you have to do is ring him.
