PRESS RELEASE – CORTO MOLTEDO WOMEN’S SPRING/SUMMER 09
"How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. "
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky
Tangier in the decadence of the late Seventies, is Corto Moltedo's inspiration for Spring/ Summer 2009. The heady grandeur of the North African quarters which seduced bohemians and academics from across the globe.
The softest, exotic skins from eel and python to ostrich are fashioned into Corto Lego a super-chic day bag, an iridescent kaleidoscope with just a whisper of Corto's signature 'C' and Star branding.
The heavily ruched and malleable bronze python Elisabeth bag is the perfect accompaniment for aperitifs against the oriental splendor of the ancient mountains.
Susan Shock, Corto's perennial and much coveted evening clutch in black eel skin and geometric gold squares is reminiscent of the penchant of the period for all that is art deco. A myriad of opulent-coloured satins forge the Cassette Clutch collection, high-octane glamour, perfect for those who see themselves as the beautiful relics of the night before.
Corto Moltedo is coveted by some of the world’s most celebrated style icons including Madonna, Dita Von Teese, Anjelica Huston, Lindsay Lohan, Jade Jagger, Claudia Schiffer, Sharon Stone, and Paris Hilton amongst others.
Corto Moltedo is stocked in specialty shops around the world including On Pedder (Hong Kong), Browns (London), Parlour X (Australia), Isetan (Tokyo), Etoile (Dubai), Podium (Moscow), Raleigh Boutique (Miami), Dantone and Luisa via Roma (Italy), and Colette (Paris).

PARIS - Corto Moltedo (www.corto.com) is set to open its first flagship boutique in the Jardins du Palais Royal. Located in the historic heart of Paris, the boutique, designed by Gabrielecorto Moltedo, is a synergy between fashion and art aesthetics that will offer an unprecedented level of service.
The boutique will feature treasures for women and men alike, including an installation from renowned Colombian artist Federico Uribe (www.federicouribe.com).
Gabrielecorto Moltedo chose the Palais Royal as the location of his first boutique be- cause it holds a special place for him. As a student studying in Paris, he would often walk through the gardens and fell under the charm and elegance of the area, vowing one day to open his first boutique here.
The space, approximately 65 square metres, is a study of where luxury objects are sold.
The interior will feature custom made crated casings adorned with leather handles, walls enclosed in recycled wood and the Corto Signature blue and white stripes. The use of everyday materials to create a luxurious setting is at the core of the Corto Moltedo boutique. This led to Moltedo’s decision to feature two installations by Federico Uribe, “The School” and “Por si las moscas” to inaugurate the opening.
Uribe’s work embraces the use of common materials in contemporary art, creating beautiful objects and installations. This will be the first of several installation pieces in the boutique. The combination of architectural / art / fashion detailing creates a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, keeping in perfect harmony with the spirit of the collections.
The flagship boutique offers over 60 different styles of handbag’s and small leather goods, in addition to custom made to order pieces (bespoke services), seen on clients such as Madonna and Naomi Campbell.
