Benelux is the perfect location for a separate store. I traveled a lot around the area with my business partners last year and found some gems. Princesses at Smets and Antwerp in Brussels are great if you enjoy discovering new brands.
The coolest boutique a'maree's In Newport Beach, California. It seems to take your breath away. Curation carries everything from major brands to premium jewelry – the exception. I always do serious damage there.
I was blown away Gallery Zlafayette In Doha. It's the best department store I've ever been in. There's the drive itself there – it's so luxurious. I also love Harvey Nichols and Bloomingdale from Kuwait. The shopping experience is fantastic and the editing is fantastic. They both launched several great brands in the area. I went to an amazing Clio Peppiat event in Kuwait. People perceive that the market is more focused on evening wear and there is a lot there, but emerging brands are also very exciting. Chats by C.Dam are brands I've seen a lot over there.
That's my go-to brand right now wall. A Greek fashion brand and knows how to create the perfect island uniform. It is a cotton-based product with mainly silk pieces. There are great matching shorts and shirts, and they also come with pajamas. I love the oversized double cuff shirts because I can wear them in so many ways. It is all handmade in Greece and the craftsmanship is fantastic. ETTE is another brand I love right now.
