Noted for its quality materials, use of color, and elegant and femininine designs, Escada successfully widened its clientele and by 1981 established a name in many categories of womenswear, specializing in formal wear and knitwear. In 1982, the company opened their first store in the United States on Fifth Avenue in New York City and opened its first store in Asia the following year in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong boutique became a worldwide landmark, marked for its use of gold in the store's design.
Though debuting in America in 1982, Escada did not gain national prominence until 1984 when the leading fashion and women's wear magazine Vogue published an entire edition devoted to promoting Escada. Its worldwide prominence led its 1986 IPO on the FSE to be highly anticipated and Escada's debut on the stock exchange marked the headlines in hundreds of major newspapers worldwide. 30 years later, Escada has established itself as one of the largest fashion houses in the world. Escada?s headquarters are based in Munich, Germany and Escada?s collections are available in nearly 500 locations in 60 countries. In the United States, the company has 16 boutiques in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Texas, and Washington. Escada has opened several larger stores carrying various fashion lines including Escada, Escada Sport, and Couture and Accessories. The largest of these stores is located in Vancouver, Canada, and is 16,000 square feet.
Like many fashion houses, Escada also has a line of fragrances for both women and men. Source

O simpático ateliê de moda feminina Q-Guai, inaugurado em 2003 na Gávea, virou loja. Depois de dois anos de muito sucesso, as estilistas Armanda Haegler e Maria do Rosário resolveram encarar o desafio de encarar as ruas, sem perder o charme e a sofisticação típicos do ateliê. Hoje, quem passar em frente ao nº 65-A a Rua Henrique Dumont – Ipanema, poderá ver a tradução desse novo lugar: uma loja super guai (cool), com roupas de estilo romântico, onde as peças contracenam com objetos de decoração e antiques. A Q-Guai foi às ruas de grandes centros urbanos, como Londres, Berlim, Nova York, Copenhagem, e de lá trouxe inspirações para sua coleção primavera-verão 2008, que chega com forte influência do final os anos 80 e início dos anos 90.

Primeiro vieram as malhas de algodão e os moletons, comercializados em diversas lojas cariocas. Depois de nove anos e muita pesquisa, foi lançado o primeiro jeans, ainda hoje um dos fortes da marca.

Showroom: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Bahia, Pernambuco, Goias, Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina.

“Em 1994 iniciou-se a trajetória do Comlexo B, uma camisaria e blusaria em Copacabana, onde a idéia era não confrontar o jeans, mas, oferecer um complemento para ele. Não faziam questão de ser o primeiro, mas de ser uma das primeiras alternativas. Em 1997 participaram da Babilônia Feira Hype e Mercado Mundo Mix, com suas calças xadrezes e camisas estampadas, num look totalmente cafajeste carioca. Em 2000 ganharam o prêmio Novos Designs, evento antecessor do Fashion Rio e logo a seguir, repercussão nacional. Em 2005 chegaram à Europa. A marca propõe um estilo com muito humor e alto astral, para fugir do básico. Esse embate contra a mesmice vem encarnado pela figura do guerreiro São Jorge, ícone da marca. Axé para quem é de Ache, Amém para quem é de Amém, Shalon para quem é de Shalon e Saravá para quem é de Sarava.”

Levi Strauss & Co. is a privately held clothing company known worldwide for its Levi's brand of denim jeans. It was founded in 1853 when Levi Strauss came to San Francisco, California to open a west coast branch of his brothers' New York dry goods business. Although the company began producing denim overalls in the 1870s, modern jeans were not produced until the 1920s. The company briefly experimented (in the 1970s) with employee ownership and a public stock listing, but remains owned and controlled by descendants and relatives of Levi Strauss' four nephews. Source
