Jeeves has no doubt that the closets of ladies all over Manhattan are bursting with  with Little Black Dresses, suited for any and all occasion leaving him  overly familiar with the care such garments require.

Yesterday afternoon Jeeves received a call from celebrity stylist Robert Verdi. A client of his was having a MAJOR Fashion Emergency, and as he is a long standing client as well as dear friend of Your Man Jeeves he knew just who to call.

The Problem: The Editor-In-Chief for a very prominent publication hosted a dinner for President Obama, following his fund raising activities yesterday evening, and just hours before they were to be seated the zipper to her Black Valentino Dress broke.

The Solution: After Jeeves had been alerted of the issue, he instructed her assistant to bring the dress to the shop to be repaired immediately. Thirty minutes later the dress was as good as new, and ready for it’s presidential debut!

Jeeves was pleased that his staff was able to so readily assist and resuscitate the dress, as the only thing that would be worse than meeting President Obama with a wardrobe malfunction would be meeting the ever stylish First Lady under those circumstances.

LBD’s will continue to be vital wardrobe staples; crucial to successful event execution it is important to keep in mind that your man Jeeves is here to rescue your Little Black Dress; no matter the time, no matter the circumstance.

As you know, your man Jeeves has the privilege of working with so many brides throughout the New York area, and often times plays a vital role leading up to the nuptials. Jeeves was introduced to a lovely young lady a few weeks ago, who having purchased a sample gown with only two weeks leading up to her wedding required both cleaning and alterations before the big day. The Jeeves team works their magic and the gown is absolutely perfect for her Prospect Park Wedding.

The young bride had been dreaming about a fall wedding her whole life, so it seemed only fitting that she and her husband-to-be select Halloween weekend as the date for the union. Mother nature had different plans in mind as she dumped an unexpected not to mention unappreciated snow storm over New York on Saturday. This freak storm left the bride unable to take her wedding photos, and her gown very soiled. To make matters worse she had a full glass of red wine spilled on her during the reception!

Jeeves now has his work cut out for him to re-restore this dress in order for the bride to take her wedding photos before the snow comes again!

For all your wedding gown cleaning and restoration needs be sure to come visit Jeeves and his team at the shop on the Upper East Side.

Best,

Your Man Jeeves

Have you felt the wind of the latest trend on the streets ( quite literally) of New York? It would seem that no longer is a woman’s greatest accessory her bag or a one of a kind couture piece, rather a vintage hunk of metal; the bicycle.

Fashion meets function?

Jeeves has heard that this can happen, but so rarely are these functional pieces also statement pieces. Don’t tell that to the women of New York who have been cruising all over town from the Upper East Side all the way down to Williamsburg on Schwinns and Raleighs.

The streets of New York have always been like a runway show, but now more so than ever it is impossible to take your eyes off of these woman dressed to the nines whizzing around town…

Messengers and food delivery guys don’t stand a chance.

Jeeves had been wondering how long it would take for this trend to settle in before he saw the first wardrobe malfunction due to mechanical error.

Your man Jeeves knows that the ladies of New York most certainly always look their best, and in order to do so wear their very best. The only downfall to this trend is the anticipated wear and tear on your wardrobe– one missed pedal and torn trousers present themselves. Or perhaps you are riding carefree after one of these pesky fall rain showers and a truck drives by catching you in the backlash of an idle puddle?

The next stop on your route should be straight to 39 E. 65th Street where your man Jeeves will be ready and waiting to tend to you and your wardrobe.

Best of all there is a nice little fence outside ideal for securing your wheels.

For all of your dry cleaning, tailoring, and everyday needs Jeeves of Belgravia can do it all.

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.

Lanvin pieces brought to the Jeeves New York location will receive the best care available in the world, since Jeeves cleaning is 100% chemical free through his exclusive CO2 cleaning system.

Tis the season so Jeeves has another wedding antidote in store for you on this fine summer afternoon. The latest addition to Madison Avenue’s vast storefronts is a lovely bridal boutique hosting the ever classic stylings of J.Crew. After reading the rave reviews posted by the New York Times your man Jeeves simply had to check it out for himself.

This was by no means an arduous task as J. Crew is a mere block away from Jeeves New York, so during lunch Jeeves casually slipped out to investigate.

When Jeeves entered he was welcomed by the familiarity of tradition that manages to permeate all J. Crew locations. Amidst the hardwood floors and sparse decorating Jeeves had yet to see a gown which was odd as this was supposed to be a bridal boutique…when his eyes landed on a stairwell he wandered downstairs and happened upon a fitting.

What was curious to Jeeves about the gowns displayed at J. Crew was their simplicity and understated plainness. It seemed to Jeeves that brides would be drawn to these gowns looking for a challenge. A way to create their dream wedding day to their tastes and not at the hand of some designer whom they had never met.

As Jeeves finishing perusing the gowns he could not help but to overhear that J.Crew does not offer alterations for the bridal gowns that they sell. Fortunately for this bride and all other brides who purchase their gowns from J.Crew your man Jeeves is right around the corner and has the best tailor in Manhattan. Jeeves’ head seamstress has been with Jeeves for 25 years, and has been in the business even longer.

You simply won’t be able to find a more able seamstress or tailor to handle your wedding gown alteration needs anywhere else.

For all wedding gown alteration inquiries ring your man Jeeves, and he will be more than happy to oblige so that you can have the dress of your dreams.

Your man Jeeves has become pretty social media savvy, and can be found frequently perusing various blogs as well as updating his twitter account ( you can follow him @thedrycleaner if you please).

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”.

While your man Jeeves believes that you should love your garments, he finds that the life of your wardrobe will greatly extend with the use of services such as ECO2 Cleanse offered exclusively by your man Jeeves. By selecting a green alternative for the preservation of your wardrobe, you can experience this long term love affair with your wardrobe due to the gentle cleaning abilities of the liquid carbon dioxide cleaning process.

The “ecoistas” also refer to upcylcing within your wardrobe, to keep it sustainable and fresh.  Jeeves loves nothing more than to see a client come in with an outdated piece, present it to his master tailor, and VOILA! You will be turning heads everywhere you go on Madison Ave.

No task is too great for the cleaning and tailoring experts at Jeeves New York. Your wardrobe can truly last you a lifetime if you allow your man Jeeves to care for your clothing.  Residents of New York looking to keep your wardrobe fresh without impacting the environment give Jeeves a ring he will be happy to assist you.

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!

The highlight of Fashion Week NYC for your man Jeeves was the privilege to be a part of Naomi Campbell’s extraordinary charitable show Fashion for Relief with all proceeds benefiting CARE an organization working to rebuild the health care system for women and children in Haiti.

Your man Jeeves arrived at Bryant Park hours before the show was scheduled to begin in order to set-up his table full of garment care supplies to assist all the stylists , models, and dressers backstage before they took to the catwalk.

Upon arrival Jeeves and his staff could hardly believe their eyes at their sheer volume of couture that greeted them backstage. Your man Jeeves had to take a few deep breaths, since he and his craftsmen were there to collect all these   gorgeous items for cleaning following the show.

Within minutes of being setting up Jeeves’ most experienced seamstress, Marcia Moore was put to work to insert shoulder pads into a shockingly red dress later worn by Kelly Osbourne. This was not the only time throughout the evening that your man Jeeves was at the service of the evening’s celebrity guests, all styled by the ever demanding Rachel Zoe. A very distressed assistant rushed over with a Dolce & Gabbana suit that desperately needed to be pressed before rapper Chris Brown took to the runway. Your man Jeeves was right on it.

Despite the high energy of all the models and celebrities present backstage having quite the raucous reunion, the attitude near our workstation was a bit more somber as we were in the immediate proximity of the individuals from Alexander McQueen just one day after the legendary designers unexpected death. The Jeeves team worked on alterations on two pieces that were both worn in the finale, one by the host Naomi Campbell herself.  Marcia also labored over a pair of exquisite shingled shoes that spoke to the true nature of a McQueen design.

As it drew closer to 7 the backstage area turned into pure chaos as your man Jeeves had a line of individuals waiting to have their gowns pressed before hitting the runway. One gown already had a person in it! This person was none other than Cecily Lopez who giggled as a Jeeves staff member informed her that the dress could not be pressed with her inside of it…

Once the show began Jeeves and his team were able to relax and enjoy a little bubbly as the models changed from their couture to their finale outfits which entailed all models wearing t-shirts that read “To Haiti with Love.” Your man Jeeves was more than willing to offer his seat to an exhausted Malin Akerman (27 dresses) and Olivia from MTV’s reality show The City who swore “ she was never one to complain about sore feet!”

After the show was over the real work began for your man Jeeves and his team to collect all the gowns worn during the show for cleaning. Jeeves has donated his services to Fashion for Relief, so that all gowns will be as good as new when they are auctioned on Net-A-Porter after the London show next week. Jeeves of London is also doing all the cleaning for the Fashion for Relief event being held Friday during London Fashion Week.

There were some trips, tumbles, and unfortunately tears but the New York Fashion for Relief show has already raised over $100,000 just from ticket sales. It truly speaks to Campbell’s legacy that she can organize such a remarkable event on two different continents to help out those suffering a horrible ordeal.

Your man Jeeves will have more to share later about all the extraordinary gowns we have cleaned.
