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.

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.

A complex name like hydrargyrum could be a cool brand of wetsuit. Or, imagine wearing a distinctive piece of boardshorts that could give you superhuman powers. Hmmm. But whether it may be similar to a liquid silvery chemical element like Mercury or moving and thinking at superhuman speeds like a Marvel Comics Avenger, Quiksilver, in its unique identity, possesses super boardriding style ideal for surf, skate, snow and wake culture.

In 1970, Alan Green, previous Rip Curl wetsuit and sheepskin UGG Boots producer, and John Law formed the Quiksilver brand. They ripped apart and reinvented the old trunks into a comfortable design appropriately fit for the avid surfer and water sport junkie. Later on Jeff Hakman and Bob “Buzz” McKnight joined in to establish a warehouse and distribution center in Newport Beach, California. Since then, the Quiksilver brand and company grew massively capturing the minds and lifestyles of the youth.

Quiksilver‘s prowess includes loud and outrageous fashion designs. Furthermore, huge input from top surfers, snowboarders and skateboarders helped mold the clothing line in catering to fellow enthusiasts around the world. The product endorsement from the industry’s top personalities like Tom Carrol and Kelly Slater, to name a few, magnified the brand’s market presence. By incorporating another brand, Roxy, the company stimulated women’s participation and candor. With a socially passionate and environmentally conscious approach in sponsoring and creating momentous events globally, Quiksilver has even strengthened the community.

Bar Brasserie Jour et Nuit. Strolling with your jeans on along Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, France, you’ll chance upon its namesake.

In 1994, when Don Fisher, founder of Gap, and their CEO were visiting Paris, France, they chanced upon a bar brewery named Old Navy. The name immediately caught their attention. This further initiated the establishment of their first Old Navy store in Colma, California.

Old Navy is known as the affordable low priced brand segment of Gap Inc. Their exaggerated sentimentality and melodramatic 1940-60′s retro advertising campaigns placed them on the fashion map. Today, the brand has stores outside of the United States and also expanded its retail presence in Canada.
