FASHION LABELS IN THE WORLD
From 1960 until 1965 Tzaims Luksus created silk prints, jacquards and woven woolens in his own textile mill in Bennington, Vermont, USA for America's top fashion designers: James Galanos, Norman Norell, Pauline Trigere, Ronald Amey, Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Oscar de le Renta, Gus Tassell and many others all in the highest echelon of American fashion designers.
After winning the Neiman Marcus and Coty Awards both in 1965 he turned to designing his own couture collection and ready-to-wear and launched the first major Fashion House in America with great success. Luksus was immediately recognized as the New Dior and after several collections in New York City ventured to be the first American Fashion Designer to show in Paris, in partnership with Rebekka Harkness, with the French Couture. [Later Geoffrey Beene took Luksus' example and was the second to show in Paris.] The European press claimed: "Tzaims Luksus presented an haute couture collection in the true mode of the French Couture."
From 1968 to 1972 Luksus printed in Como, Italy, Lyon, France & Zurich, Switzerland. He also created jacquards, warp printed woolens with corresponding silk prints at the greatest fabric houses in Europe. Luksus was the only designer to ever gain entry into the private design studios of Bianchini-Ferier and many of his prints for James Galanos are in the Musee di Tissue di Lyon, France.
During the period of 1966 to his Paris showing at the Hotel de Crillon, on the Place de la Concorde in 1968 every major women's fashion specialty store carried Tzaims Luksus creations.
