A-STYLE LICENSING GOAL

In only a few years, and starting with a "zero marketing budget", A-Style has become a phenomenal fashion brand in Italy, one of the most competitive markets for brands.

While the brand still embodies the values of the early days, several years of solid distribution and product development are the basis for expanding into international markets through licensing agreements.

The new licensees should replicate in their domestic markets the path successfully implemented in Italy, Spain, and other markets through viral marketing while building consistent distribution.

Apparel is the key category to develop, while bags, footwear, leather goods, back-to-school, phone accessories and many more can also follow…

The brand enjoys international recognition but many markets are still to be penetrated, so to make the commercial opportunity extremely attractive.

A-Style provides unmatchable guidance in marketing and design.
