IRFE

Maison IRFE was founded in Paris in 1924, and bears the names of its legendary creators — the Russian émigrés princess Irina and prince Felix Yusupov. The fashion house, a private venture of the Yusupovs, became a trendsetter in the roaring twenties, competing with the most prestigious Parisian fashion houses of the time, until it was closed during the economic crisis of 1929. Almost 90 years later, designer Olga Sorokina and countess Xenia Sheremetyeva-Sfiri, grand daughter of Felix and Irina Yusupov, decided to give Maison Irfe a new lease on life.
