Thats ok im waiting.. cant w8 for the news:-P

 

[rainy_spring]

Thanks for posting those, silvi!

 

[Shantelle]

Any updates for stocksales yet?

Also I was wondering when Fall 2007 RTR will available at the stores? Few pieces from Ann Demeulemeester's last collection amazed me so deeply, that I would certainly love to purchase them during my trip to Antwerp in April-May! Is it too early for Fall collection? I emailed Ann D store, but no reply yet! I would really appreciate any thoughts and suggestions. Thank you so much!

 

[Shantelle]

Sorry for bothering you, Silvi..... any news about the stocksales?

 

[Baizilla]

The F/W 07.08 collection will arrive the first week in August at the Ann Dem het zuid store. Atleast that's what the last fall collection did.

 

[Shantelle]

Thank you for your reply, Baizilla!

Also.... maybe you can help me... I really need to make a decision and book my plane tickets and hotel asap! As I already stated I am going to Antwerp this spring... well I going to Paris to hopefully have my dream vacation... and since Antwerp just few hours away, I will certainly stop there for a few days. I wanted to visit Antwerp during their sale season (for Ann Demeuleemester mainly). I called the store yesterday - and no dates for stock sales yet! Since I am not American citizen yet, I need to obtain viza first, so I really have to get my tickets booked like right NOW. Anyway... now I need to predict the Ann' stock sale date! Great! Please somebody, would appreciate a comment or suggestion! Most likely the last week of April or the first week of May?!? Help!!!!!!

 

[Baizilla]

You are welcome, Shantelle!

Well, visiting Antwerp while you are in Paris shouldn't be that difficult. I was in Paris last week attending the fashion week, and I took a day off to visit Antwerp... I got the Thalys tickets for 61 Euros (one way) on first class (because I am under 25). The trip is merely 1h 20mins.

I have no idea when the stock sale is... but you should try keep an eye out for it on modenatie.com... they always put up dates for the stock sale.

have a nice trip

 

[silvi]

Hi! The stocksales are in April but no specific dates yet

 

[Shantelle]

Thank you very much, Silvi.

Yeah, I called Ann's store and they said I should try calling them back in the middle of April to get this type of information.

Also, I have some more stocksale questions.... would highly appreciate if someone will contribute!

-1- How big is discount on average (50%off +)?

-2- Merchandise from what season most likely to be there? Just strictly from previous season or from all other past collections as well?

-3- Is stocksale, in your opinion, really worth it (money-and-selection-wise)?

-4- Can stocksale in Europe be compared to sample sale in US? or its more like the end-of-the-season sale?


Sorry for all the questions I have.... I hope it does not sound too stupid.... Thank you so very much!!! Truly appreciate your help!

What is "A magazine" and why "Antwerp shopping" thread led you there?
