How do you design fashion that sells in California AND is marketable across the globe?
California clients are more tactile, meaning they are sensitive to anything that does not feel soft, and of course there is the fact that the climate is much milder than in most parts of the world. But overall, buying for a California store is not really that different.
What are your most popular products?
Alaia and Balenciaga shoes, all things Isabel Marant, and our own Satine label.
