| Vince is well known for an uncanny ability to zero on the trends and styling them for the contemporary customer who wants to wear luxury garments with a relaxed execution. |
| Setting new trends each, subtle though they may be, like the tonal stripped cashmere crew neck sweaters that are now a mainstay and this year you can find them with a deep-V neck. You are starting to see the same color combination in other labels like Banana Republic. The team at Vince hit a home run with their fur collar zip front cardigan, which has become a seasonal favorite and now available in a variety of colors. Who is Vince, Vince the label and really lifestyle brand was coined or named after a California designer Cynthia Vincent, who helped launch the label in 2001 but left after a few months. |

| Vince’s two founders Christopher LaPolice and Rea Laccone believe that customers want to have a name of the designer that they can associate with the label, and Vince was born. The current creative director of Vince is Michelin IP, former designer for the contemporary label Laundry by Sheri Segal. |

Rea Laccone started laundry in 1988, and it is also where Christopher LaPolice sold sportswear and it is at Laundry the business partnership began. After 9/11, Mr. LaPolice and Ms. Laccone were overwhelmed with travel and the big business of fashion, so they decided to start a small company with a focus on designing clothes they would actually wear, gorgeous fabric in comfy designs, described as the “fashion equivalent to comfort food.” Vince was well on their way winning the hearts of the new jet-set who are interested in laid back sophisticated look that is comfortable to wear. Vince fit the bill for hip quality garments not usually found in department stores. Vince is also known for lux quality that is reasonably priced and for the unique position of having longevity. |
| Vince’s success maybe because the team behind the brand have been in the business for 30 years, visit stores where they have merchandise and check the stock while it is being un-packed. Look at displays and see the response in real time by the consumers. They are engaged with their customer and know what their customers buy. |
