Those who want to assert themselves successfully on the market on a long-term basis will be confronted with new challenges time and time again. To take on the challenges means to create something unique every season that generates attention and interest and that rouses familiar associations while still leaving enough room for new developments. The A/W 09/10 collection represents the interplay between classic and modern styles, between commercial and fashionable designs. Destined for Munich, Lisbon, Berlin and New York, the 09/10 season will be showcased in London. A city that stands right amongst various trends and cultures, a European metropolis that combines apparent contrasts with one another in creative harmony.
For the first time, MILESTONE is presenting the current A/W 09/10 collection in a showroom at Fashionhouse 1, during the CPD. With this step, MILESTONE is focusing more strongly on the export business, which is constantly growing. "This temporary showroom allows us to pay more attention to our export customers and gives us more time for the orders", says Karsten Matheis, head of sales. The entire A/W 09/19 collection is showcased on an area of more than 300 square metres, as the core of the MILESTONE world. MILESTONE's very own future showroom concept for Düsseldorf is in planning, anticipated to be ready in 2010.
Alongside the CPD, MILESTONE will be represented at the trade fairs JAM, CIFF and CPM. We are looking forward to seeing you at our showroom or trade fair stand.
