Giorgio Armani is pleased to announce the launch of the new Armani.com website, opening today, Thursday October 6th. This significant project marks the arrival of a major online flagship store, where it will be possible to explore and purchase from five of the Group’s brands.

Furthermore, Armani.com will include editorial content that will be renewed on a weekly basis – always with a new “cover story” – to keep visitors up to date with the world of Armani. The launch of the site will feature an exclusive video of Rihanna, the new face of the Emporio Armani underwear and Armani Jeans autumn/winter 2011/12 advertising campaigns.

This is the latest significant move by the Armani Group to strengthen and develop its presence on the Web. It all began back in 2000, in the USA, with the launch of the first online AX store, followed in 2007 by the launch, again in America, of Emporio Armani online; this opened in Europe the following year. After the launch in 2010 of the first online flagship store for the Chinese market, the time has now come for Armani.com to welcome visitors from all over the world and give them the opportunity to acquire clothes and accessories for men and women from the Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Armani Jeans and Armani Junior lines at a single shopping destination.

The new site adopts a logical and straightforward approach that is rich in content and opportunities. Navigation is simple and intuitive: just a click from the home page leads to individual virtual boutiques, dedicated to the separate brands, where choosing one’s preferred clothes and accessories is simplicity itself. The purchasing process concludes with a look at a customer’s unique virtual “shopping bag” and immediate check out.

Armani.com is supported by YOOX Group, the Armani Group’s global partner for e-commerce, and will be immediately active in 32 countries, in Europe, the United States and Japan, and in 4 languages (Italian, English, French and Japanese). And naturally the site will offer optimum access to iPhone, iPad and Android users. As from 20th October 2011 Armani.com will extend its presence in China with the launch of Armani.cn.

The Giorgio Armani Group is one of the leading fashion and luxury goods groups in the world today, with over 5,300 direct employees and 12 factories.

Innovative and original graphics accompany the visitor into the Moncler world. Navigating it rewrites the rules of moncler.com, which as of today no longer includes the corporate part alone, but also the brand-new virtual store, which is optimized for iPad. As with a guided tour, visitors have the opportunity to discover and familiarize themselves with the latest innovations, news and updates regarding the Moncler collections for men and women, accessories, and the more technical proposals of Moncler Grenoble, taking in the Moncler S and Moncler V collections along the way. They can all be “browsed” in the “news” section, and, most importantly, they can be purchased in the virtual boutique, which is available in 5 languages.

The exclusiveness of the shopping experience doesn’t end at the order, but continues with the delivery in customised packaging that emphasizes the comprehensiveness of the image and the attention paid to the customer; both aspects for which Moncler is renowned.

The virtual store enhances the Moncler strategy, both on the retail front, which is experiencing a period of marked expansion, and on the online presence front, with the new launch of the site and dedicated Web promotion initiatives.

The moncler.com online store is “Powered by YOOX Group”, the Internet retail global partner for leading fashion & design brands. YOOX Group provides the online store with an all-round solution that includes a flexible technological platform, highly innovative interface design, global logistics, premium customer care and many years’ experience of Internet retail.

Remo Ruffini, Moncler President and Creative Director says: “This launch is a crucial point within our global strategy. Our retail network is also being expanded through the Web. Further initiatives that have already been planned will respond ever better to the requirements and the demands of a world which, on one hand, is increasingly globalized and which, on the other hand, demands exclusive proposals in retail outlets”.

DOLCE&GABBANA will be opening its online store on 13th July 2011 with YOOX, its global e-commerce partner.

The men and ladies’ clothing and accessories collections will be available online in seven languages, via computer, mobile and social networks, plus delivery will be free for the first three months.

The DOLCE&GABBANA eStore is the fruit of the brand’s emotional and editorial strategy for the digital world:
- 2004: DOLCE&GABBANA opens its mobile channel, a step ahead of the Smartphone wave.
- 2005: The first fashion shows available in live streaming via internet.
- 2007: DOLCE&GABBANA becomes a digital publisher, launching its magazine Swide.com.
- 2009: The D&G eStore opens, and begins its partnership with YOOX.
- 2009: D&G is the first to invite fashion bloggers to sit in the front row at its fashion shows.
- 2010: Pre-show press conference with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana via YouTube. Snack videos are posted, previewing the collection themes.
- 2010: Stefano Gabbana opens a Twitter account, riding the personal branding trend.
- 2011: Stefano Gabbana opens his own Tumblr account.

The eStore is being launched in the wake of the brand’s deep commitment to the social and anthropological aspects of the net revolution; a revolution that the two designers conceptualise in their Summer 2012 Menswear collection entitled THE NET, which they presented in June 2011.

“We’re fascinated by the idea of opening a boutique that's available to the entire world. We’ve believed in the power of the web right from Day One. Now, even people not living in large cities will be able to experience the Dolce & Gabbana world.” (Domenico Dolce – Stefano Gabbana)

The purchase experience will have a strong editorial imprint since the DOLCE&GABBANA e-commerce platform will take an editorial approach to digital merchandising. The product catalogue interface will be flanked by a “shop-by-look” pagination, with the visual impact of a magazine. Photos can be viewed in 360°, and videos are integrated in the product cards.

The Italian house’s narrative ability and value will interface with each individual market's language, culture and ethnicity. In China, the eStore will be launched on 8th August 2011, because of the importance of the number 8 in Chinese culture. Content and customer care will be provided in Chinese, prices will be displayed in Yuan, and home delivery guaranteed in 400 cities.

DOLCEGABBANASTORE.COM combines Italian style, glamour and DOLCE&GABBANA innovation with YOOX’s technical and logistical excellence. YOOX was chosen for its extensive distribution network and its excellence in customer service.

The eStore is a true all-embracing experience, which places the product within a narrative: the narrative of the DOLCE&GABBANA lifestyle.

The iconic Florentine maison opens yet another flagship in a prime retail location … online. With the opening of the Emilio Pucci Virtual Boutique at www.emiliopucci.com, the brand brings its chic and colorful world to a new shopping frontier.

The Virtual Boutique, is powered by YOOX, the global internet retailing partner for the leading fashion brands.  YOOX Services, division of the YOOX Group, managed the development of the new Virtual Boutique in terms of technology, interface design, logistics, customer care and web marketing.

The Virtual Boutique will open on November 24th with the Spring Summer 2009 cruise collection and will carry a complete selection of ready to wear and accessories which will arrive in-store simultaneously as they arrive in Emilio Pucci brick and mortar stores. Plans are also in place to sell online-exclusive limited edition merchandise.

In a consonant expression of the brand's vision and style, the look of the Virtual Boutique mirrors the design of the Emilio Pucci fashion website, where rich visuals in flash animation are emblazoned with stylized letters and catchphrases that characterize the collection and the brand's philosophy.

In a customized "Shop the Look" section, customers can click onto a revolving set of editorial-style images. These Emilio Pucci looks portray the brand's interpretation of the collection and how it can be accessorized and worn. The visuals mirror those from the in-store catalogue and the fashion website for an across-the-board expression of brand identity.

In another distinctive feature of the Emilio Pucci Virtual Boutique, the collection is modeled by professional dancers in fluid poses, displaying Emilio Pucci's versatile cuts and showing how the clothes move comfortably on the body. Freedom of movement and the way a fabric drapes over the female form has always been at the heart of the maison's design philosophy.

To highlight and draw attention to the smooth silhouettes, the dancers' faces are provocatively overexposed using artistic graphic design techniques. The resulting effect is a glamorous yet anonymous look to the dancer-models, allowing the customer to more easily imagine herself in the clothes.
Laudomia Pucci, Image Director of Emilio Pucci: "We are very proud to have created a unique Virtual Boutique that showcases the ethos of the Emilio Pucci brand and our shopping environment. Today luxury shopping is not just about brick and mortar stores, we believe our Virtual Boutique will be an important aspect of Emilio Pucci's retail strategy."

Didier Drouet, General Manager of Emilio Pucci: "The Virtual Boutique is a key store for our brand as we will finally be able to offer customers on a global scale the opportunity to access the complete Emilio Pucci world. It completes our selective and qualitative network, allowing us to communicate to new customers."

Federico Marchetti, founder and CEO of YOOX Group: "Emilio Pucci is a brand that is recognized for its kaleidoscope of colors and prints, while YOOX offers a kaleidoscope of ideas and projects. Together we have created a tailor-made online flagship store."
