To embody its new autumn-winter 2014-2015 collection, the brand Pallas famous for its tailoringknow-how chose Violeta Sanchez and her beautiful daughter Luz. Violeta Sanchez was known to be Helmut Newton and Monsieur Saint Laurent’s muse. She seemed like a perfect match for the brand, indeed, early in the 80’s young actress Violeta Sanchez used her first paycheck on a tuxedo she got from a local men’s tailor hoping that it would help her become the new Marlene Dietrich. The night she wore that tuxedo for her first theatre premiere, she caught the attention of both Newton and Monsieur Saint Laurent, becoming their muse…

Ever since, that tuxedo brought her luck, it was therefore a natural choice for her to collaborate with Pallas: a petite couture atelier open since 1961 and known for their perfect cut, refined, hand-finished tailoring.
