Byredo is a Stockholm-born luxury house founded in 2006 by Ben Gorham, a former professional basketball player and fine-arts graduate who turned to perfume after a chance meeting with a perfumer. The name is a contraction of "by redolence," and the brand set out to translate memories and emotions into scent, pairing a minimal Scandinavian sensibility with influences from Gorham's Indian heritage. Working with perfumers such as Jérôme Epinette, Byredo built a cult following through fragrances like Gypsy Water and Mojave Ghost, then grew into a multidisciplinary lifestyle house spanning candles, body care, makeup, Italian-made leather goods, eyewear and fine jewelry. Known for cultural collaborations with artists, musicians and designers, Byredo has been part of the Spanish group Puig since 2022 and continues to approach modern luxury as something both aspirational and inclusive.

Founded in 1861 by brothers Joseph and Lyman Bloomingdale, Bloomingdale's began as a single dry goods store in New York City. The brothers' innovative approach of selling European fashions to the American public quickly caught on, and their store soon transformed into a full-scale department store, one of the first of its kind in the country. Over the years, Bloomingdale's has evolved into an iconic brand known for setting retail trends and pushing the boundaries of fashion and luxury.

In the 1920s, Bloomingdale's expanded to fill an entire city block, offering an unparalleled assortment of high-end items and establishing itself as a destination for discerning shoppers from around the world. The store continued to innovate by introducing a curated home department in the 1930s and pioneering the concept of designer shopping bags in the 1960s. Throughout its history, Bloomingdale's has always maintained a commitment to style, creativity, and the highest level of customer service.

Today, Bloomingdale's operates stores across the United States and even has a global presence through its online store, continuing to set standards in the retail industry. The brand has remained true to its roots, offering an array of designer merchandise and striving to create a seamless shopping experience that combines the best of online and in-store retail. With its long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation, Bloomingdale's continues to captivate and inspire customers with its unique blend of upscale merchandise, personalized service, and fashion-forward insight.

Chrome Hearts is a Los Angeles luxury house founded in 1988 by Richard Stark, who started the business in a garage alongside leather-goods maker John Bowman and silversmith Leonard Kamhout. Rooted in the biker and rock world, the brand began with leather goods and sterling silver jewelry, then grew into a full lifestyle house spanning fine jewelry, accessories, eyewear, footwear, fragrance, furniture and home goods, all made in the USA. Owned and run by Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark since 1994, Chrome Hearts is defined by its hand craftsmanship and a signature vocabulary of crosses, daggers, stars, spikes and fleurs. Recognized with the CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year award in 1992, the brand has collaborated with names such as Comme des Garçons, Rick Owens and Baccarat, yet it has always stood apart from the fashion cycle, favoring detail, independence and a deliberately limited presence over trends.

Jimmy Choo is a 21st century luxury accessories brand, with shoes at its heart, offering an empowered sense of glamour and a playfully daring spirit.

Pioneer in the art of celebrity dressing, Jimmy Choo was among the first to bring shoes and handbags to Hollywood where the red carpet proved to be the ideal runway for the brand. Today, Jimmy Choo can be seen on style icons from celebrities to royalty, musicians to heads of state.

The brand’s reputation as a celebrity favourite helped to fuel its rapid expansion. Its iconography was further defined by the bold and dramatic advertising portraying glamorous but strong women in towering heels and luxurious handbags, captured by some of the most acclaimed fashion photographers in the world.

Marc Jacobs created Marc Jacobs International with Robert Duffy in 1984, basing the brand on two very simple concepts: a love of fashion and a commitment to quality. Finding the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, highlighting Jacobs’ exuberant creativity, the brand has become a driving force in the industry. With the addition of Marc by Marc Jacobs in 2001, Marc Jacobs International now offers two complete lines of ready-to-wear and accessories. Part of a generation that’s conscious of the world around it, sensitive to humanitarianism and social entrepreneurship, Marc Jacobs has made its mark as rebellious, unpredictable, original, unique, and authentic all at the same time. Committed to the communities around them, Marc Jacobs International leads by example, supporting over 75 charities and organizations around the world.

In 1984 Marc Jacobs launched his first collection under his brand and became the youngest designer to receive the New Fashion Talent award granted by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
