Spring/Summer 2006 - Paris Fashion Week
Alexander presented his Spring/Summer 2006 collection during Paris Fashion Week in October 2005. An outfit from the collection is shown on the left. It consists of grey cuffed shorts (so popular this season) with a matching jacket over a white blouse. The model is wearing gladiator sandals.
Alexander has changed from the designer who scared and shocked his audience. He sends out his models in orderly fashion, so that we can see the clothes he has designed. His black suits, beautifully tailored as always, have lost their exaggerated waists and jutting shoulder, they are now much more wearable. Spencer jackets with button-down lapels, short flippy skirts and shorts with a girl-rocker look about them, appeared. His evening gowns had the look of Greek goddesses. However a little of the old McQueen appeared in fantasy gowns with metalwork bodices, rather like eighties sci-fi TV programmes. Source

The company started humbly as a small custom tailor shop that Jean Goldberg opened in 1950 on Rue Paradis in Nice, France. By 1958 the small tailor shop was making custom tuxedos for Hollywood stars that were in the Cote d'Azur for the annual Cannes Film Festival. In 1961 Jean Goldberg's son, Albert, took over the shop and renamed it Façonnable, a variation of the word "Façonner," which means "to create." Under his watch the company expanded and in 1973 opens its first boutiques in Monte Carlo, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Lyon, and Marseilles, however it was not until 1984 that Façonnable opened an outlet in Paris.

Tudo começou em St. Tropez, badalado paraíso de milionários europeus no sul da França, no ano de 1971, quando o jovem Fred Pryskel, um apaixonado por corridas de automóveis e fundador da Vilabrequin, sentou-se num café e começou a tesourar uma toalha de mesa em xadrez, um calção de banho simples e elegante que fosse adequado para nadar nas famosas praias do balneário. Após finalizar a prova piloto, resolveu utilizar tela de vela náutica, um material de secagem rápida para finalizar sua criação. Nascia ali o boxer-short, o primeiro calção de banho, que chamava a atenção pela estampa e o corte diferenciado, um verdadeiro ícone fashion nada parecido com os padrões da época. O produto criado por Fred, incorporou alguns itens de tecnologia simples, estampas inusitadas e conforto. Não demorou muito para que bermudas de cores fortes e temas florais fossem vistas vestindo banhistas nas mais badaladas praias européias.
As coleções trazem, geralmente, de 150 a 200 itens, com tamanhos entre 2 anos a 6XL, em 16 modelos de corte.
