Scott said:but i think it really depends on the company. because i love that american xpress is giving Zowie and Brian at Boudicca the freedom and the support to do what they do best. but that's not a group though...just backing. but some of these mega branded companies i don't trust too much.
the trategy that they bought fendi then got big big deficit in that brand then after that they sold to Arnault...*sayan said:It's strange that a company like Prada, with so much talent and a strong(or is he) business leader didn't manage to build the Prada group. It was definitely an amazing selection they had started. Unfortunate.
the dutch ppl has real good policy in attacting firms.. loads from germany, italy ect coming therestyle_expert said:yes that's correct. They're officially based in Amsterdam because of fiscal reasons. (just like U2 being based here)
i think H&M/Zara has different strategy in approaching their customers..Dezzydez said:Then you have groups like H&M, Zara and Whistles trying to diversify and push up the higher "designer" end (style and price wise) taking inspiration from the catwalk and indies along the way but churning it out faster and slightly cheaper - its hard to be independent label nowadays.

No one has mentioned the Japanese Trading Companies who licence brands such as Westwood, Paul Smith, Vivienne Tam in Asia. This is a vital slice of revenue for many designers who wouldn't be as successful otherwise.
Someone mentioned Sonia Rykiel as an independent.
Paul Smith built his business from scratch and is still a private limited company. So I class him as independent.
Any more?..
