the spring buy

April 2, 2008  12:11 pm

Balenciaga08

The buyer: Roopal Patel, senior women’s fashion director, Bergdorf Goodman

What did you invest in heavily for spring? Lanvin and Balenciaga, as we launched both collections in the store this spring. The Lanvin washed trench and the one-shoulder navy dress have been runaway hits. Anything floral from Balenciaga flies out of the store. Thakoon, Chanel (the star-print pieces), The Row, Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler, and Roland Mouret are also getting a great response. Our customer is loving bold prints and patterns for spring. The new silhouette of the long dress with a gladiator flat is also translating well.

What had the longest waiting list? The YSL Muse Two Bag, Christian Louboutin’s Yasmine slingback (a cork wedge with orange and black patent trim), Lanvin stacked heels, and Alaïa gladiator flats in metallic python.

What are your customers asking for when they come in? Color and prints! The dress is still important—long or short, day or evening. And statement shoes and bags.
