Finding your brand’s true position is essential.

We chatted with , President of , about the importance of aligning your vision with market realities.

“Positioning goes beyond strategy; stay true to your vision and know exactly where you want to be. Identify your direction and partners. Choose stores that represent you and consider who you’d like to stand alongside. Remember, as your vision evolves, so will your collection."

We asked , President of , about finding the “place to be” amidst constant change.

“Positioning means following your own thoughts but also market research, knowing exactly where you want to go, who you want to be with, and who you want to share your space with. Consequently, your collection will fit and evolve with the right market niche.”
