"I love what I do - it's no more complicated than that!" says Guy Rautureau, owner and ‘mover and shaker’ behind the high-quality women’s shoe line Free Lance. His passion for lightness is reflected in styles featuring original designs and features finished with loving attention to detail. Alongside a high-fashion spirit authentic and traditional craftsmanship, high-quality fabrication and innovative colour combinations are the hallmarks of his label.

Fancy, sexy, colourful and happy – this is how US designer Betsey Johnson has been “rocking” the fashion world since the 1960s – her personal favourite is pink and her creativity and enthusiasm are said to be border – and timeless.

Sneaker label D.A.T.E. is a reflection of the London street scene. Street markets contribute the vintage feel while the wild colours, patterns and 70s styles are inspired by the hot nightlife of this metropolis. The careful choice of materials, high quality and craftsmanship are absolutely Italian. D.A.T.E sneakers are available for men, women and kids.

"One zip and you are glamorous" – this is how Mark Badgley sums up the credo of this US fashion label Badgley Mischka. Together with James Mischka he set up his company in 1988 after studying at the famous New York Parsons School of Design. The idea: they wanted to revive the glamorous fashion style of the 1940s.

Their couture is stylish, aspirational, sophisticated and wearable, their no-frills design looks accomplished and elegant – also thanks to finest materials and supreme craftsmanship.

MCM has changed: the famous travel and handbag label with that unmistakable allover look has become a globally successful fashion brand with a wide and varied portfolio over the past few years.

In addition to finest leather goods now apparel, shoe collections and accessories for men and women are also being produced. What has not changed is the image: MCM stands for elegance, luxury and handicraft.
