About the practice

Fashion and luxury have left a decade of price-led growth behind. Houses now have to earn growth through product, brand and customer, while inventory, channel mix and supply chains put pressure on margins.

Our Principals have led brands, run international sales and retail organisations and sat on the management teams of fashion groups. They help founders, owners and investors decide where the brand should grow, which channels and markets to prioritise, and how to build an organisation that can carry the next stage.

We work close to the business and respect what makes a brand distinctive. The aim is clear priorities and decisions the team can carry forward, with or without us.

Who we work with
Founder-led and family-owned houses, premium and luxury brands, and their private equity and venture investors.
Typical mandates
Growth and market entry, channel and wholesale strategy, inventory and margin, organisation and leadership.
Functional focus
Strategy & Transformation · Commercial Excellence & Growth · Procurement & Supply Chain.
