COACH
The Coach brand stands for authenticity, innovation, and relevance. Started in 1941 as a family-run workshop in New York City, we were pioneers in the leather goods and accessories space, establishing ourselves as the original American house of leather during the second half of the 20th Century. Beginning in North America, Coach delivered an alternative to traditional luxury. We then expanded beyond our home market, becoming the first American company in our category to bring international relevance to an American leather goods brand. Today, Coach is available on five continents in over 1,000 directly-operated stores worldwide and many more in collaboration with our global wholesale and distributor partners. We continue to build on our brand strengths with a vision: "To become the company that defines global modern luxury."

MARY KATRANTZOU
Born in Athens, Mary Katrantzou studied Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and graduated with a BA in Textile design and an MA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins. Her graduation show in 2008, which featured trompe l’oeil prints of oversized jewelry on jersey-bonded dresses, took the industry by storm, immediately securing a number of prestigious stockists, notably Browns, Joyce, Colette. After her graduation show, Mary Katrantzou established her namesake brand. She now boasts over 100 high-end stockists ranging from Selfridges to Harrods.
Mary Katrantzou was dubbed "The Queen of Print" by the press, a moniker that recognized the enormous influence of her work in the medium. Katrantzou's work changed the face of twenty-first-century fashion, inspiring high fashion and high street designers alike. Prestigious collaborations have included capsule ranges with Swarovski, Victoria's Secret, Longchamp, Moncler, Topshop, Cowshed and Adidas Originals.
“Print can be as definitive as a cut or a drape and allows a woman to filter beauty found in design, in a subversive way. All my prints are constructed through digital technology. Digital print allows me to experiment with print in a way that fine art and other methods could not. It opens up a huge spectrum for possibility; I can create possibility out of impossibility, surrealism out of realism and both vice versa.”

Tanya Taylor
Tanya Taylor is a New York based womenswear brand defined by femininity and eternal optimism. The brand brings modern, feminine shapes to life through an artful use of color and original prints. Each print begins as a hand-painting done by the Tanya Taylor team in their New York design studio. Playing with texture and movement, the brand lends a new desirability to ready-to-wear. Bold in color yet soft in silhouette, the collections promote a lighthearted attitude for women who celebrate the art of dressing.
Launched in 2012, Tanya Taylor is available at retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. The collections have been worn by a diverse range of inspirational women such as Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Tracee Ellis Ross, Beyoncé, Kristen Wiig, Aidy Bryant, Sandra Bullock, Gigi Hadid, Chrissy Metz and Olivia Munn. Tanya Taylor is an inclusive brand defined by a point of view, not a range of sizes. After collaborating with Aidy Bryant and Glamour Magazine on a red carpet look in 2017, Tanya recognized the need for a feminine and joyful voice in the plus size market and the brand is now proud to offer styles in sizes 0-22 each season.
