Desigual is the Spanish translation for something that is unequal, different, distinct or unlevelled.

Founded in 1984 by Swiss native, Thomas Meyer, Desigual is known for its signature patchwork designs, rich colorful print patterns, dynamic graffiti art designs and vibrant color explosion. From Isabel Coixet’s idea, they chose the name “Desigual” and accompanied it by the slogan of “It’s not the same”.

Based in Barcelona, Spain, the casual clothing brand has been led by Manel Adell since 2002. The key factor for their success is the concept of Fun&Profit. Enjoying work while achieving sustainable growth is the essence. Their core brand values, which are positivism, joy, unconventional spirit, non inhibition, emotion and complicity, make Desigual a unique company and business environment.

Each season, the Desigual design team of 20 creatives, ideates a collection of over 1,000 items which they build around a single unifying concept. They respond to current and upcoming trends while keeping track towards fun, well being and quality of life. In January 2011, Desigual launched a peculiar marketing campaign in Spain, Portugal, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Prague and New York City with the slogan and sales hook of “Come in undressed and go out dressed”.

Today, Desigual employs a crew of 2,800 people of more than 72 nationalities. The company prides itself with 7,000 multibrand stores, 200 Desigual brand stores, 1,700 corners & shop-in-shops all over the world and a global ecommerce website.

Were you milk fed when you were a baby? Either natural breast milk or formula, chances are, you did. Humans, as well as mammals in the animal kingdom, were milk fed when they were infants.

But the real question is. Are you currently milk fed in style?

MILKFED. or Milk Fed is a Japanese fashion brand created by American screenwriter, film director and producer, Sofia Coppola in 1994. The label is focused on womenswear with petite or small/extra small sizes. Sofia Coppola is the daughter of one of Hollywood’s most innovative and influential film directors, Francis Ford Coppola. She interned with Karl Lagerfeld at the french fashion house Chanel. After a stint with X-girl, she launched her own brand, MILKFED. with Stephanie Hayman and Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.

MILKFED.‘s style is a mixture of 1970s-80s Pop culture to classic American casual with a small dash of quirkiness on the side. The products are available at Coppola owned Heaven27 boutiques, international dealers and online stores such as calif and ZoZoTown.

Perhaps one of the most influential pairs in the history of the fashion world is none other than Dolce & Gabbana. Italian designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, started the company in 1985 in Milan, Italy with a debut collection at the Milano Collezioni New Talents. In 1989, they held their first women’s fashion show in Tokyo. The following year, the brand featured their first men’s collection. In 1990, Dolce & Gabbana opened their showroom in New York, 532 Broadway. The debut of another major line entitled, D&G Dolce&Gabbana, launched in 1994 as a youthful and contemporary apparel collection. Two years after, the company staged its first fashion show in New York for D&G Dolce&Gabbana. The new millennium brought collaborations with sports teams and famous personalities such as Madonna, introduction of sub-brand collections like D&G Junior, initiation of a new several fragrances & books, openings of international boutiques and flagship stores in major cities around the world.

Dolce & Gabbana has two central lines. Dolce&Gabbana, without spaces, specializes in luxury items. They are more formal and timeless and geared towards long-term trends. On the other hand, D&G, is a more casual line inspired by urban culture, youth movement and hyper trends of the changing seasons. Unfortunately, the D&G sub-brand is discontinued this year 2011.

Overall, Dolce & Gabbana is a luxury brand known for its stylistic originality and superior tailoring. It has been one of the forerunners of fashion utilizing its strong identity, innovation, unconventional designs and powerful Mediterranean flavour of its origins.

Born in Elmira, New York, Tommy Hilfiger‘s career in fashion started in high school back in 1969 when he opened a small chain of stores called People’s Place. He began designing for several boutiques and decided to pursue a career as a full time fashion designer in New York City. With Mohan Murjani’s business support, he launched his first signature collection in 1985 with a youthful relaxed appeal, modern button-down shirts and updated designs of classics.

Tommy Hilfiger has also collaborated with legendary ad man George Lois in developing influential ad campaigns and media such as the “hangman ad” and the Iconic America: A Roller-Coaster Ride through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop Culture book. In the 1990s, Tommy Hilfiger began featuring emerging talent such as Britney Spears and Lenny Kravitz in his ads. In 2009, the company launched Hilfiger Denim blending quality denim jeans, modern designs and the dynamic music industry. In 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen, owner of Calvin Klein, bought the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.

For 25 years, the brand has brought classic yet modern American apparel all over the world. Under his guidance, the Tommy Hilfiger Group has become one of very few globally recognized designer brands offering a wide range of American-inspired apparel and accessories.
