PPR Sales Up 20% in Q1

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

PARIS ? Despite a ?challenging quarter? for Gucci, France?s PPR on Thursday said first-quarter sales rose 20 percent thanks to the addition of Puma and robust sales at Yves Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta.
Gucci?s sales in the quarter advanced 2.4 percent at constant exchange rates as sales sputtered in more mature markets, like the United States and Europe. After the impact of negative currency exchange, Gucci?s sales dipped 3.3 percent to 513 million euros, or $769.5 million at average exchange.

?Action plans have already been implemented to enable the brand to regain a growth rate consistent with group objectives,? PPR said.

Overall, PPR said sales in the three months through March reached 4.91 billion euros, or $7.37 billion, slightly edging most analysts? estimations.

Sales grew 4 percent after the impact of currency exchange, reflecting the impact the high value of the euro against the dollar and yen is having on European luxury firms.

PPR?s overall luxury sales improved 9.6 percent at constant exchange ? 4 percent after currency exchange ? to 816 million euros, or $1.22 billion, led by rapid growth in Asia, excluding Japan, and China, where sales bounded 116 percent.

PPR?s stock was down over 1.4 percent to 83.20 euros, or $130.58, in mid-morning trading on the Paris Bourse.

One from the Vault: Der Kommissar, Spring ‘07

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

The game, seduction and escapism are part of the story behind the lingerie and lingerie accessories of Der Kommissar: inspiration for every woman in search of something more. In the new collection designer Annelies Nuy has been inspired by the four magical P’s of Der Kommissar: Please, Play, Power, Passion. The new pieces are high fashion summer wear items in warm colors and retro 50’s pin-up style in tricot and lurex, but also outfits of lacquered fabrics in black and silver – powerful colors that fit with the independent bold woman. Der Kommissar presented its latest collection of lingerie and lingerie accessories during the Amsterdam Fashion Week in July 2007. These fotos were taken by Henk Van Engelen for Glamwire in July of 2006….and cartooned by Cal Rhodes.

Carmen Marc Volvo Fall ‘08

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Carmen Marc Volvo’s satin 1920’s evening wear show was a tad boring, though a snip, quite a snip, elegant. Obvious decco 20s references and beautiful satins marked the collection, but to this reporter, not much else marked it. Though I wouldn’t complain if my date showed up wearing one of these ensembles (they carried kind of sombre austerity with their rich historic elegance, always nice at the Kinsdale Tavern or The Barking Dog on the Upper East Side, my haunts) as a show, and as a collection, it did not dazzle or inspire. — Miles Redfield, Reporting.

Special Note: We’d like to take this moment to acknowledge some of the folks and companies that we took note of in fashion this past season…some that we worked with…others we ‘d love to work with. As we head towards Spring we are keeping our eyes peeled for these great fashion stars, some already realized, some emerging:
