GREETINGS FROM MARIO
EXCITING CHANGES IN SEATTLE & ALL OUR STORES!
I’ve always thought of fall as a season of great anticipation and excitement. At Marios, that couldn’t be more true than it is for fall 2017. After a year of planning, designing and dreaming, I can’t wait to share with you the stunning expansion and remodel of what promises to be “the crown jewel” of shopping experiences in Seattle. In women’s you will find a much larger footprint with double the floor space, allowing us to create expanded departments in shoes, handbags, jewelry and contemporary wear, and add some new designer boutiques. In men’s you’ll find a more open footprint, including several new designer shops, new up-and-coming designers and an expanded shoe department. Exciting additions are afoot in Portland and 3.10 as well! Our Oregonian friends will discover lots of new designers and expanded collections from familiar favorites. It is our goal that these developments will enable us to offer you more exquisitely curated product selections than ever and serve you better than ever before. Ciao!

I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED TO SHARE THE STUNNING EXPANSION AND REMODEL OF OUR SEATTLE STORE AS WELL AS LOTS OF NEW DESIGNERS AND EXQUISITE FALL COLLECTIONS IN ALL OUR STORES! 35
“It was important to Mario that all design elements were curated and eclectic and that the space feel welcoming, with fixtures that are more like furniture. Everything is locally crafted. The denim table, for example, is made of Oregon end-grain Douglas fir.” —RANDY HIGGINS, FELT HAT/PORTLAND HEAD DESIGNER, MARIOS SEATTLE TRANSFORMATION
THIS FALL WE WELCOME YOU TO
EXPERIENCE THE TRANSFORMATION OF
MARIOS SEATTLE
Marios Seattle is located in the iconic Decatur, a building of great historical signficance. The Decatur was built in 1950 by John Graham, Jr. One of Seattle’s most prominent mid-century architects, Graham achieved not only local, but national prominence, and went on to design the Space Needle and other noteworthy buildings. When envisioning this renovation, it was key that we work with a local design team, one that would add a Pacific Northwest sensibility to the project. Headed by Randy Higgins of Felt Hat, we strove to create an envirnoment that would be welcoming, beautiful and integrate seamlessly with the level of our merchandise and service. The first step in making this dream a reality was the chance to double our upstairs women’s department, adding 5,000 square feet when the adjoining space became available. This enabled us to expand our women’s offerings, open the space and add dramatic windows. While we didn’t add square footage to our already larger men’s department, we made it feel bigger by taking down walls and reconfiguring it for a more open and dramatic look. 6

The Marios brand has pioneered their vision in specialty retail through their ability to build relationships on trust, dignity and respect. I couldn’t be more honored to be a part of the expansion in Seattle and a part of a family whose soulful foundation and deep connections have given me both inspiration and gratitude.

We are delighted to unveil a new Ermenegildo Zegna shop at Marios this fall, continuing our longstanding partnership with Mario and the Mitchell family. The modernized shop in the restyled store brings a fresh approach timed perfectly for our debut season with our new artistic director, Alessandro Sartori. We are proud to play a leading part in this new chapter of Marios.

Mario Bisio is truly a pioneer in our industry. He’s never lost touch with what I believe is the most important part of our business: the product. You’ll always see Mario spend the time to view collections with his buying team. Not only is he in constant touch with the market, but he has an uncanny ability to project what his customers will love. His passion for product is undeniable, and he’s incredibly generous with his time and opinions, always willing to share what he believes could improve your product. SAMU EL KU PR E S IDE NT & C REATIVE DIRECTOR AG INC .
I think it’s important to recognize that “cyber” relationships are not going anywhere but should be used as a tool; not a replacement for the real personal relationships that are the foundation of this industry. While that fundamental thread of our business has been forgotten by many of our peers, it is one of the defining elements of the successful partnership of Mitchells and Marios. Their evolution should serve as an example to strengthen the retail landscape. VE R ONI C A D U C A - CO RT VP OF WHOLESALE FOR NORTH AMERICA VAL E N T I N O

LYNWOOD’S PICKS
CHLOÉ We are delighted to offer our customers an expanded selection of Chloé ready-towear, shoes and handbags. The storied brand was founded by Gaby Aghion in Paris in the 1500s.
What’s
NEW
AKRIS Founded in St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1922 by his grandmother Alice Kriemler-Schoch, Albert Kriemler has spearheaded design at Akris for over 30 years. His ability to combine innovation with wearability has led to a subtle, sleek and modern aesthetic favored by sophisticated women, including H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco.
IN WOMEN’S
NEW DESIGNERS & COLLECTIONS FROM WOMEN’S FASHION DIRECTOR LYNWOOD HOLMBERG.
VALENTINO The name Valentino speaks for itself! Founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino has been a groundbreaking and iconic world leader in fashion ever since. We are delighted to offer our customers an extended collection of clothing, shoes and handbags by the famed design house.
46
SAINT LAURENT A strong rock influence and youthful spirit saturates the shoes and accessories. The fabrications are unsparingly luxe and everything seems dusted with sparkle, shine and glamour.
PARAJUMPERS
JITROIS French designer Jean Claude Coste started making clothes in 1976 in the South of France, where the royal family of Monaco were among his first and most loyal clientele. After expanding to Paris, Jitrois is now known around the world as a preeminent luxury goods house specializing in leather and fur with exceptional design, craftsmanship and fabrication.
HENRY BEGUELIN
ROSETTA GETTY Rosetta Getty is a brand focused on curating new ideas between wearer/maker and what they mean for construction, process, presentation and collaboration. Collectability is important in the way they approach design. Specialized pieces, some made completely by hand, are designed to have two sides: coming from the inside out, or front to back. Some, void of trims or closures, are offered in multiple fabrics to let the wearer feel free to interpret.
In the early ’80s, a group of friends on the island of Elba started to assemble belts and bags in natural cowhide and recycled materials. This entertaining pastime took a serious turn and Henry Beguelin was born, but its spirit has never changed: objects crafted by hand with ancient mastery, timeless pieces that are always current because they go beyond the concept of short-lived “fads” to become the expression of real luxury.
ADAM LIPPES For young designer Adam Lippes, whose line launched five years ago, the key word is “luxury.” It’s all about fit, fabrication and construction. Lippes’ refined day-to-night luxury has been spotted on many style makers including Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence.

JOHN RICH & BROS. The Woolrich story is a history of over 100 years of success based on American wools woven by skilled workers and developed into quality garments. Today, Woolrich John Rich & Bros. utilizes the most innovative technical fabrics and ultimate-quality wools. Loyal to its origins, each garment speaks function and durability in the same breath with a sophisticated take on outerwear.

COMMON PROJECTS
IN MEN’S
Founded in 2004, Common Projects is a collaboration between Prathan Poopat, an American-based art director, and Flavio Girolami, an Italian brand consultant. As sneaker aficionados, they started way before the designer sneaker craze took hold. Their clean, rubber-soled sneakers, made in Italy of Napa leather, are a must-have to a certain rubber-soled cognoscenti.
BRIONI Since opening its first boutique in Rome in 1945, Brioni has been the lifestyle of choice for movie stars, heads of state and business leaders around the world. Seen on stars from Clark Gable in the ’40s to Michael Phelps, Will Smith and Bryan Cranston in 2017, Brioni is known for sartorial excellence, impeccable styling and innovative fabrics.
OFFICINE GÉNÉRALE
52
Realism, honesty and fairness are the guiding principles of Officine Générale. In the heart of Paris, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Officine Générale creates clothes for everyday life. Full of attitude and personality, they are made in Europe with ethical standards, from Italian, British and Japanese fabrics, offered at fair prices.
ATELIER MUNRO
ROSSO
Offering everything from classic formalwear to laid-back, casual-chic apparel, Atelier Munro in Amsterdam designs, develops and carefully constructs custommade menswear. Contemporary, sharply tailored and with an eye for detail, they provide you with a nearly endless range of possibilities in order to create a unique wardrobe of custom-made pieces for every man at a more accessible price point.
04561 “A trip in a bag’” is the idea behind the collection. The finest qualty, closeness to nature and a touch of luxury: everything packed up in a carry-all to spend a weekend on the most beautiful of all the German islands of the North Sea, Sylt–or on any other of the world’s beautiful coasts. 04651 represents quality, casual chic and subdued elegance, paired with understatement and traditional values, all refined with that touch of luxury.
MICHAEL BASTIAN
GRAY LABEL
Michael Bastian is an award-winning luxury American menswear brand founded in 2006, designed in New York and made entirely in Italy. For fall 2017, he is introducing his Gray Label, which we are thrilled to bring to our customers.

Nothing is more welcoming than being greeted by familiar faces when you enter our stores!

We believe they add great value by helping customers build thoughtful wardrobes, enhancing lives through fashion. Their commitment to providing a unique brand of service will never change.
