>>>AZZ ARO>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> History:
Philosophy:
Creator and perfumer, loris AZZARO was a charmer and a lover of life. A man of the Mediterranean, he loved colour, warm human relashionships and women. His trademark exemplifies his philosophy of life. Generous, elegant, bright and cheerful, AZZARO celebrates togetherness, “joie de vivre” and warm encounters. Seduction, quality and refinement have become the hallmark of his brand.
Collections carefully conceived in a resolutely contemporary spirit which mixes very tastefully formal suits and more casual and fashion wear. Colours and rich materials with a sharp cut hit just the right note, at once very refined and with the right amount of casualness necessary to create the desire to wear them. Collections smitten with luxury without ostentation do not fail to strengthen the reputation of the trademark of seducers.
A leader in the field of male fragances, AZZARO is the accomplice of all seducers. A seduction which stamps the personality of each man. A seduction without excessive splendour but always discrete, exuding above all else himself with the humour and generosity which characterises all great seducers.

Philosophy:
3 consonants and 1 vowel for 2 talented designers who have had an enormous success since they took the risk to create a clothing line that is both simple and chic.
Subtly mixing designs that are simple and feminine using soft and natural fabrics their collections are light in spirit but chic, romantic and modern. They follow their instincts and desires. The collections are trendy and made of recurrent elements: prints, fine fabrics such as shear cotton, cashmere and silk presented in fine cuts and shapes.
Childhood friends, Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief love fashion, travelling and meetings of all sorts. It was in July 2003 when they decided to create the « ideal closet » by designing clothes that they felt like wearing everyday.

With a strong sense of identity and image Barbara and Sharon decided to also develop an « urban chic » accessory line to complement their collections.

The eye-catching hip-hugging signature jeans represent everything that is feminine and fun, glitzy and glamorous, sensuous and suptuous about the Baby Phat woman. Denim separates, leather, outerwear, handbags, shoes, lingerie, jewelry, two limited edition Motorola mobile phones and two signature fragrances are tailored for the girl about town intent on raising eyebrows.

Babycham has come a long way since the brand was conceived in the 1940s! Now into its 6th year of footwear, our iconic Fawn logo continues to grace the heel of every shoe we design, illustrating that even today, there is still a place for the lively, sparkling appeal, created by the original drink over 50 years ago.
Not for the faint-hearted, our designs come alive with colour. Funky materials and quirky prints set Babycham apart from other footwear brands. Add to that some glittering diamantes and it’s easy to see why our shoes have such a fan-base. After all, “Nothing sparkles like a Babycham!”
Highlights: So many prints, so little time! Kitsch graphics are at the heart of Babycham and this is evident across the range. For A/W 09 we tackle bright colours head on with a series of rainbow inspired designs, as well as softer pastels with metallic trims. Our Mid-top boot is an exciting addition to the range, whilst the everpopular lace and strap styles continue to be a colourful alternative to plain old plimsoles! Trainers need never be dull again!

Philosophy: The company has always been focusing on the quality of the materials and on a punctual and up-to-date stylistic research, aiming at giving the items always a new and original imprint. Thus the brand meets the demand of a wide age range target (15/40) with homogeneous lifestyle.

Belle Sauvage was established in late 2006 by the talented, London trained duo of Virginia Ferreira and Christian Neuman. Neuman’s prints are juxtaposed onto Ferreira’s wild and outrageous sense of style. Determined to change literal values of mainstream fashion, they have presented a concept, which lifts art off the canvas and places it onto a svelte and sexy living silhouette, without being restrained by traditional perceived values.
As predicted by WGSN, Belle Sauvage has expanded its stockists and is now selling in exclusive boutiques in Cannes, Dubai, London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. www.belle-sauvage.co.uk
Philosophy: Wear it well.

>>>Bjö rkvin> >> >>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>> History: It all began during the CPH Vision tradeshow in the spring of 2005. Rolf and Tue were looking for new brands to cooperate with for their distributing company. Hours later the guys hadn’t found anything they liked and disappointed they went across the street to Carlton’s to have dinner and discuss about what brands they would focus on for the coming seasons. They came up with the idea of starting their own label instead of distributing brands that looked just all the same.For them every style had to be a special item and the look had to be fashionable but with a twist of humour.
To celebrate the start of a new era the guys ordered another round of drinks from the bar. Thereafter no one really remember what happened, except that one day a complete sample line with sheep all over was hanging at the office in Copenhagen. Why sheep? Why not – we say sheep!!! The first international contacts were established from a hotel room during the Bread & Butter tradeshow in Barcelona in January 06. Italy and The Netherlands came to be the first countries to join the Björkvin family as they were introduced to the samples in Barcelona. The following month they exhibited at the CPH Vision in February 06 and there Japan and Sweden were welcomed to the family. What the future is going to bring us is uncertain, but you can be sure you will be surprised each time you encounter a new Björkvin collection. Innovation is the word. Hope you enjoyed the Björkvin story…

History:
Highlights:
Our brand naturally starts off with Björn Borg’s amazing tennis career. But it is not only his fantastic victories, which have created the fundament for our brand. Björn was also one of the most influential style icons during the 70´s and 80´s. Björn Borg was more popular than many rock and pop stars of the time. He was a major celebrity all around the world.
The Underwear collections for Autumn/Winter 2009 are inspired by two different themes:
Philosophy: The implication for the brand is that Björn Borg is naturally implanted in both fashion and sports. To this, we have with our design and attitude added sexiness and style. And finally, we always make certain that our products are comfortable and easy to wear. Sporty, Stylish, Sexy and Comfortable are the cornerstones of the brand, which together create the Björn Borg market positioning.
In the first seasonal theme, we have worked with hand painted prints combined with computer graphics, generating artworks of vivid colours and patterns. Our tennis heritage (which, for obvious reasons, is significant for our brand), is the arena for our second inspirational theme. Here we play with motifs from the world of tennis, as well as Björn Borg himself.

History: New York based BLOCK HEADWEAR was founded in May 2000 by Ciomi McCabe. Prior to launching BLOCK, Ciomi worked at Kangol Inc., for fifteen years. Through her tenure there, she was responsible for many aspects of the headwear business – from sales and marketing to product development – and amassed an unparalled network of contacts within the industry. It’s this extensive experience that drove her to establish BLOCK. In March 2005, BLOCK HEADWEAR was acquired by Concept One Accessories. Ciomi remains as the President and Head-Designer of its BLOCK division.
Traditional materials are updated to lend character to the collections. The ranges are “style-driven” not “trend-driven”.
Highlights: BLOCK Headwear’s Winter 09 collection has a simple yet sophisticated feel. Colors are dark, pattern mixing is more relaxed and fabrics are more luxurious. Artisan touches still apply. BLOCK is currently continuing its expansion into additional accessories categories that will complement its headwear mix.
Philosophy: As one of the very few dedicated hat brands, BLOCK HEADWEAR has its own design identity that sets it apart from the competition. BLOCK takes standard shapes and reworks them discreetly. Dimensions of brims and crowns are altered to provide fresh silhouettes.

All t-shirts are packed in a plastic shaker, personalized wit Blomor logo. Cappuccio & Brioches Ltd. Ed., the emblem of Blomor irony, representing the brand ability to be different from every other brand, with an unique and original item. Here the irony (the hood shaped as a cappuccino cup) is physically part of the item, provoking curiosity and surprise in everybody. All the items are packed in a big sugar bag. The best homage to the Italian breakfast! Blomor costumers are eager for new things and curious to discover the emotion to be watched. Positive and open minded, determined and auto-ironic, ready to astonish people, even only through the spreading irony of simple t-shirts, when these are able to do that.

Philosophy: We are blue blood a New Luxury Denim & Fashion house. Our name is Blue Blood because we have indigo coursing through our veins, symbolizing our love for denim and its history. The lobster is our mascot because lobsters have blue blood just like us. Our name also refers to heritage and Aristocracy. Blue Blood was founded in 2003. Because despite all the great brands out there we could not find what we wanted to wear.
We take inspiration from our friends and ‘”ancestors” we salute and thank them, celebrating their individuality and character like ancestors in a lineage of new global aristocracy. Connoisseurs, who stand out from the masses.
We wanted to take the ‘’fast’ out of fashion; High quality, detailed garments with character inspired by the heritage, skill and craftsmanship of old but with a modern outlook and strong personality. Blue blood’s motto is “‘for our friends”. This is the driving thought behind our brand. Our friends and families are the ones who inspire us and who we design for.That’s why we strive to make the best products and we make that extra effort.

>>>Blu enotch >>> >>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> History:
Philosophy:
Jung Ho Noh and Nara Chun, husband and wife team started the denim business since 1996 from a love of vintage denims and how it ages through time.
“Denim to us, bears soul in which with the wearer grows history. We treat denim with a sense of alchemy and respect that we hope to transfer to everyone that will bear our name.” Blue Notch Jeans are for nonconforming men and women who appreciate the finer details of life without compromising comfort. Every detail is thought out from the logo engraved rivets to the sound the button makes. Our jeans are built with superfine Japanese denim with 5% stretch especially developed for unsurpassed comfort and style.
Fast forward 10 years and they launched Blue Notch in 2007, NYC, to epitomize the best of their denim knowledge. The brand name derives from the reunion of the two co-founders (No+Ch).
The world of Blue Notch is where uptown quality meets down town edge, giving the uptown girl instant edge or the downtown guy inconspicuous class.
Highlights: Bluenotch jeans are based on the slim fit playing up a woman’s curves, while their versatile outerwear makes for a perfect paring. For F/W 09 Blue Notch also introduces corduroys into the mix and unique ombre effects.

The Bogosse story begins with Patrick and Fabrice Tardieu, international travelers, with the spirit of tropical islands in their soul; Patrick, an established entrepreneur and former world-class soccer player, and Fabrice, a former Giorgio Armani Executive in quest of the elegant, colorful, and distinctive enough shirt they had envisioned. Unable to find it, they decided to make their own. Bogosse collections have been showcased in distinct fashion events in New York, St-Barth, St-Barth, Antwerp and Miami.
The name Bogosse Originates from the French term, beau gosse, which is translation for handsome, stylish and elegant. The Bogosse brand is the epitomy of fine European classic tailoring with a touch of playfulness. We give particular attention to details: cuffs and collars have a crisp, classic appearance under jackets or sport coats. The same shirt can be worn in multiple ways. their intricate patterns and vibrant colors express a sense of chic perfectly adapted for nightlife or casual but luxurious looks.
Highlights: Bogosse is distributed throughout North America and internationally, in Europe, Japan and the Caribbean. Bogosse opened its first retail store in April 2008 in St-Tropez, France.

Highlights:
Buddhistpunk was founded in 1999, and represents the meeting of two great philosophies, Buddhism and Rock ‘N’ Roll; of the ultimate form of liberation and expression, while being at one with ourselves, each other and our planet; we are all buddhistpunks. Buddhistpunk quickly became well known for its handworked printed jersey collections and it’s relationship with the rock ‘n’ roll industry.
For Fall Winter 2009 the collection is Buddhistpunk’s own blend of tropical macabre for parties on a post apocalypse Fifth Ave; the Men, modern masculine and streetwise, chaperone the Ladies in their pretty punk looks, revisiting the essence of what makes Buddhistpunk altogether unique and contemporary today.
Philosophy: Buddhistpunk takes its influences from its studios in London and Bali, from the frontline of the culture of uncertaincy; and sharing a natural aesthetic with rock ‘n’ roll it is probably the most integrated fashion label with the industry. Buddhistpunk has collaborated both professionaly and privately with a diverse variety of the world’s best known artists, including The Rolling Stones on two world tours. In 2006 Buddhistpunk launched a second line – House of The Gods to specialise in design driven band fashion allowing Buddhistpunk to follow its true maverick path.

History:
Philosophy:
Los Angeles native Tova Celine has been successfully designing in her hometown for 20 years. After leaving her position as design director for Bebe Sport, she found a new creative niche at Sublimation Factory. With an innovative approach, a new aesthetic for clothing was developed, and the line Butterfly Dropout began it´s metamorphosis.
Butterfly Dropout is an offering. Each garment tells a story, through images collected over a lifetime, from many lands, cultures, and ages, pieced together as a collage of life. The line’s message resonates inside us.
The response to Butterfly Dropout has been exceptional and a cult following has emerged. Saks 5th Ave reports 93% sell thru within 4 days upon receiving the first shipment, and to date continues to boast a 60% sell thru weekly. Nordstrom also retails Butterfly Dropout at a 60% sell thru weekly. Boutiques have a similar response. Fred Segal calls Butterfly Dropout their “Most Anticipated Line.” Monthly collections keep the line fresh and Butterfly Dropout aficionados peruse their favorite shops looking for updated pieces. Using a maverick technique of not emphasizing logo or name, Butterfly Dropout’s unique look has been branded itself.

Highlights: the collection – In one part of our collection we offer you a separate pocket for your laptop. The laptop is of course the new accessory that you don’t want to be without. Now we offer you a nice bag to go with it. We also have nice changing bags, with all the pockets you need. But once again nobody can see the purpose of the bag on the outside.

Philosophy:
Reminiscent of the Woodstock generation, C-Bar-A™ comes to you from ubiquitous designer, Christian Audigier. C-Bar-A™ brings a fresh flair to the imagery of free love, peace, and idealism that was pervasive in popular culture during the 1960’s.
C-Bar-A™ incorporates classic images, such as peace symbols and tie dye with sleek styles and exquisite detailing. Printed on natural fabrics, psychedelic imagery gets a fresh twist with glitter and sequin applications. On certain styles, our exclusive sublimation-on-cotton printing process combines photo-real art with innovative natural cotton and rayon blends. Iridescent foil and rawedge labels add the final touches to this retro-meets-contemporary collection.
Highlights: Discover the euphoria of the Age of Aquarius with C-Bar-A™.

Philosophy:
Founded in 1962 in Nîmes by Jean Bousquet, the company, today internationally well-known, has the name of a bird from Camargue (a region of Southern France).
Cacharel is a very famous brand with a significant emotional strength. Its new positioning, based on strong and different values, is flourishing. The brand is French but international, young but timeless, affordable but aspirational.
Jean Bousquet and Cacharel brought forward the products that installed strong codes for the brand: the shirt for woman, the Liberty and the seersucker quickly became must-haves in ready to wear and are today reinvented with equal success.
Highlights: In the early 70’s the Liberty became the symbol of an entire generation. Liberty blouses, dresses, and skirts appeared, it was a great success for Cacharel. A vintage Liberty collection based on the Cacharel’s archives is coming out this season to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary. Dresses, skirts, scarves, swimsuits, belts …

Nowadays, the “camel active” umbrella brand comprises clothing, shoes, socks, bags, watches, glasses and underwear, convincing with a uniform brand message worldwide. Since 2002 CMLC (Camel Active Master Licence Corporation) GmbH, a global licensor, has been working with prestigious licensees, aspiring to a high quality level and a consistent market appearance. Today camel active is a globally operating lifestyle brand that is sold at 11,000 points of sale in over 50 countries.
In the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection camel active men turn into WEST EAST SCOUTS moving onwards to merge with Eastern cultures into a true multicultural fusion of modern lifestyles. Their destination: Japan. While travelling from urban cosmopolitan landscapes to wild winter nature, the team learns about the life of this culture, which is permanently floating between past, present and future.
Philosophy: camel active is a casual sportswear brand, carrying consumers off to exciting cultures, connecting urban and natural lifestyle.

With the knowledge of two generations of craftsmen, Fluxà combined traditional methods with modern ideas and aesthetics to design products based on creativity and function.
Comfort with Imagination.
After a first store in Barcelona in 1981 and a European step in 1992 with openings in Paris, London and Milan, Camper is now present in over 70 countries around the world.
