Multi Label Showroom.
There are not many multi label showrooms in London’s vibrant fashion palette. We at So Jalouse are prude to promote introduce and showcase new designers to the UK. We at So Jalouse are willing to take a risk on labels we believe in.
We appeal to luxury retailers that like the avant-garde as well as the classic sophisticated retailer, whose attitude to buying leads them to take a calculated risk.
London being the capital of fashion should always lead by example and not play it safe with only established names. We all know times are not easy at the moment.
We at So Jalouse believe in the brand and the concept of the designers we showcase we are enthusiastic about their designs as well as seeing the designers as visionaries in the field that they specialise in.
We realise that for brands to have longevity in the fashion world today we need to pay attention to the environment and social standing of the companies we work with.
So, looking forward to hearing from you...
