Business News Diesel opens flagship store in Tokyo On April 23rd 2008 Diesel opened its largest retail selling point in Japan and one of the biggest flagship stores on the Asian continent. The store is situated on Nishi Ginza Dori (Sotobori Dori), close to the Sukiyabashi intersection in Ginza, a trendy Tokyo neighborhood. The new boutique, which is divided on three floors, stands out for its innovative design and for the sleek furnishings. On offer are a wide variety of items including jeans, bags, watches, shoes, accessories and intimate apparel without forgetting the brand’s new high-end collection Diesel Black Gold, distributed at an international level as of autumn 2008, as well as items from the New York Collection. Further, customers will be captivated by a range of interesting fixtures disseminated inside the store: on the second floor the latest interactive mirror which transmits images onto a digital screen in real time where customers are able to see themselves from all angles and put images next to each other to compare different attires. Also, as you descend the escalator don’t be surprised if you hear someone whisper something unexpected in your ear! Gianfranco Ferré expands business in Asia The Gianfranco Ferré brand strengthened its relentless expansion in Asia with the recent opening of a new monobrand store in the heart of the prestigious Times Square in Wenzhou, China.
