Chloe
The house of Chloe was founded in 1952 by Jacques Lenoir and Gaby Aghion. Chic, sensual and unmistakably French, Chloe immediately
established itself as a house that celebrated a softer aesthetic. Although Chloe was helmed by different designers in its history, they stayed true
to the concept of romantic, feminine fashion. In October of 2006, Swedish designer Paulo Melim Andersson joined Chloe as Creative Director
and made his debut with Chloe fall 2007 collection. Andersson, a graduate of both the famed Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art
in London, spent 7 years at Marni as design director before coming to Chloe. There is no doubt that he brought dramatic changes to the Chloe's
design legacy of past few years, by adding essence of edgy styling rather than the romantic quirkiness.

Ann Demeulemeester
Ann Demeulemeester was born in 1959 in Kortrijk, Belgium. She studied fashion design
at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1981. A year after she graduated,
she won the prestigious Gouden Spoel prize which is awarded each year to the most
promising young fashion designer. In 1986 she made her debut in London together with
the other five members for the "Antwerp Six". In 1992 she presented her first solo ladies
collection in Paris, followed by her men's collection in 1996. Ann is famous for having
minimal and simple silhouettes that have no boundaries for men and women. She also
often creates contrast with fabrics by using textiles such as fine leather with heavy wool.
Demeulemeester treats garments as if they are alive and believes each piece will inherit
the individual form of the person who wears it.

Anna Purna
The history of Italy’s finest cashmere knitwear is also the story of Annapurna
S.p.A. in Prato. Since its foundation in 1978, the company whose name
reminds us of a place in the Himalayan mountains, has been benefiting from an
exceptionally favorable blend of knowledge and skill. Annapurna S.p.A. owes
its impressive growth and leading position in the high-grade cashmere trade to
the intuition of Mrs. Aida Barni. She is one of those enterprising women who
have committed themselves, and their name, solely to the philosophy and
achievement of top quality. Primarily, Annapurna’s production uses only double-
threaded worsted cashmere imported from the Himalayas that is extremely and
subtly twisted to create a softer, more resistant and more elastic yarn than
conventional single-threaded cashmere. Use of the topmost cashmere, unique
design and wide color palette has earned Annapurna a reputation for luxurious
Italian knitwear. 5+1 Annapurna is a new line presented by Annapurna S.p.A.
We look forward to what this promising brand will unveil.

Dolce & Gabbana
Domenico Dolce was born in Polizzi Generosa, in the province of Palermo and began to
work at his father's tailoring business at a very early age. Stefano Gabbana was born in
Milan and after studying graphic design, he worked for various advertising agencies.
These two creatives met in Milan, in the early Eighties, at a design office in which both
worked as assistants. After developing a series of projects together, they opened their
own studio, placing a sign in front that was destined to become world famous: Dolce &
Gabbana. In October 1985, the first women's collection with the Dolce & Gabbana label
was presented in Milan, followed by the Dolce & Gabbana men's collection which
debuted in 1990. The D&G Dolce & Gabbana line was created in 1994 and within a few
years it became an extraordinary style phenomenon. This is a constantly evolving story
that nevertheless remains faithful to the duo's original ideal: combining passion and love
to create fashions that are sensual and contemporary, witty and glamorous, couturier and
innovative, luxurious and creative. These fashions are unique and unmistakable - just like
the Dolce & Gabbana style.
