Tom & Dom End With Bang

Just as Tom Ford and Domenico De Sole are getting ready to leave
the empire they built, comes a third-quarter report that will
knock Francois Pinault's socks off. The Gucci Group revenues
surged 12.8%, and for the first time ever, there was a profit for
the YSL label. Alexander McQueen's sales also grew with 20.8%. But
the big winner was Stella McCartney, whose sales were up 65.5% in
the period that ended in October. And the trend continues. During
the first two weeks of December, Gucci-brand sales rose 21.6%
while YSL ready-to-wear and Bottega Veneta shoes and handbags
jumped 39%. Perhaps Tom's fans are stocking up on his designs
before he disappears to Hollywood. :lol:

Stella's doind well after all. :shock:
 
wow I thought stella was losing money, this is surprising
glad for all of them though
 
sales are probably up due to the release of her fragrance....frangrances are always guaranteed sales.
 
From Monday's (December 22nd) WWD:

Stella McCartney’s sales for 2003 were between $29.7 million and $31 million. “We are in line with our plans to reach profitability and we’re happy with the business. It’s doing well,” said De Sole, adding that he “cannot understand the irrational fury towards Stella in the British press.

“The whole thing is just bizarre and crazy,” he said, referring to recent accusations by designer Jeff Banks that McCartney owes her success to her father, Sir Paul McCartney. “Stella McCartney is a business, plain and simple. When Tom and I get together to talk about it, we don’t sit around and discuss Paul McCartney. We talk about the business.
 
Good for them, this should put those people at PPR in their place. They'll see what there letting go.
 
:blink: so stella is or is she not making money?
and if stella is considered the best 'player'..
i wonder what the rest are selling :rolleyes:

:unsure: gucci made first ever profit :wacko:

i really dont get this article, sorry :ninja:
 
i think Stella is making money and good for her! i think she isn't doing as bad as ppl are making out. i wish the British press would give her a break too. I hope the media doesn't do that to Jennifer Nicholson. I've seen some her work and it's nice. I like. :flower:
 
:lol: a 65% rise for stella ??

65% of what? the minus figure she was making in profit :lol:
