Founded in 1993, Patrizia Pepe is an Italian label that has developed a reputation for producing collections of high-quality garments that feature a unique combination of strength and femininity.  With the label’s Creative Director, Patrizia Bambi, season-after-season, its collections reflect a particular attention to detail and often, experimentation with textile embellishment.  Patrizia Pepe garments also range greatly in terms of occasion, some even flexible enough to adapt from day to evening wear.

With fifty two stores across Europe and Asia in cities such as Paris, Antwerp, Tokyo and Milan, Patrizia Pepe has grown strongly over the past fifteen years.  Stock will be available soon at Voi!

DSquared2 By Scindya Datt - Wednesday, March 31, 2010

This Milan based label was developed by Canadian twin brothers, Dean and Dan Caten.  Having been in the international fashion business since 1984 and designing for labels including Versace and Diesel, the pair moved to Italy in 1994 where they held their first men’s collection show.  Their vision was to create something completely different, personal and unique to themselves through the clever mix of irreverent Canadian wit, refined Italian tailoring and attention to detail.  This vision has evolved over time, becoming more chic and sophisticated while maintaining the sexy and provocative traits that were embedded in their creative roots.

Since 2002, Staff International became the licensed worldwide manufacturer and distributor of all DSquared2 men and women’s clothing collections.  As a result of this and the strong growth of the brand, the label has been able to provide its followers with products other than clothing, with a strong emphasis on accessories, footwear and fragrances.

 

DSquared has also been a favourite among a number of international musicians since its very beginning.  Names such as Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin, Nelly Furtado, Robbie Williams, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Fergie and Britney Spears have all been associated with the label.

Soon at Voi!

A leading player in the fashion system, Wanda Mode has long been recognised as an important company in both Italian and foreign markets. The company's quick growth, with constantly increasing turnover, convinced Dun & Bradstreet to give it an AA1 rating in recognition of its financial reliability. The business is continuously expanding, a result of its full, versatile range of collections and trademarks such as Clips, Clips More and Clips Tricot, distributed through its commercial network carefully selected.

"L'Altra Moda was created in 1991 by Marco Ferrone. It's a woman fashion brand which met a high success in only few years and became a well-known and valuable landmark in Italy and abroad. Its mission is to give flexibility to the fashion system, always supplying the market with trendy collections and new products. Each season, 2 collections are completed by a "pronto" service. LALTRAMODA has got into the fashion market through a widespread distribution channel by opening boutiques and franchising, and entering in the main department stores and multi-brand shops. The first shop was inaugurated in Rome in 1994, and three years later L'Altra Moda organized a big party for the Milan's flagship store opening. The brand started its international distribution penetrating the European market: Spain, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland. In 2001, L'Altra Moda continues its expansion in Orient with the opening of a shop in Tokyo in partnership with Sanki Shogi Co. Ltd. The label L'Altra Moda becomes LALTRAMODA in 2002.
