The title is a little misleading as they are already renowned in Europe as a cutting edge fashion house. Not only that but they are also in various other non EU countries, ie USA including Saks in New York, Brazil, and I believe Australia too. The UK is on the verge of something special with them from now on.
The early success we have achieved with the company has been encouraging. Although it hasn't resulted in massive volumes of business due to most shops having already placed all their orders for spring this year, we have opened some significant accounts. Other enquiries for the collection are being dealt with on an ongoing basis, some from Ireland, both north and south. The Scots also seem to like them very much.
The reaction from those who have received their first orders has been very good. We have loaned out styles for some shops to use at wedding fairs and catwalk shows for themselves and the customer reaction has been very favourable.
Top up re-orders have been placed for some styles having sold well so far, and it's encouraging to see retailers becoming excited at the general way the company operates with repeat orders available within 30 days.
Antonio is showing all over the place this year. He was in Rome last weekend, is in Essen (Düsseldorf) this next weekend, then Barcelona Bridal and then SposaItalia at Milan 22 to 25 May. He's even doing Sao Paulo, Brazil, in August after Moda
We have been invited over to the Milan exhibition as they will have all of their 2016 styles on show so we are really excited at seeing them early. We will have a chance to see what's coming to MODA in August. I'm told Antonio is also considering doing the PURE Womenswear too.
I was sent the following picture from Teresa (Antonio's wife) today of the stand at Rome. I think you'll see they don't hang about in making themselves known, And why should they? They're as good as you'll see anywhere else.
Have a good May Bank holiday folk and keep your eyes on the blog for updates from the Essen show from where Teresa is sending me more photo's.
