Rio de Janeiro - New York - Paris
WHO WE ARE
Fashion has always been present in Simone's life. She studied at ESMOD in Paris and soon realized she thoroughly enjoyed the commercial aspect of fashion. While working in well known fashion houses she fine tuned her expertise taking courses in Fashion and Buying Management at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and Parsons School of Fashion in NY.
With experience in the international fashion market including 7 years with Ralph Lauren in Europe, Simone returned to Brazil leading the international expansion of the Brazilian fashion brand Osklen. She experienced first hand the difficulties that Brazilian companies were having in expanding internationally. They venture out of Brazil but are unable to establish themselves and grow in foreign markets.
A strong believer that successful growth in the international fashion markets depends on careful planning prior to launch, Simone opens in 2014 her fashion consulting office, SIMONE FASHION BUSINESS CONSULTING, focusing on developing and expanding Brazilian fashion brands internationally.
