MAJORCA OPTS FOR TRENDSETTING
The combination of
“fashion and design” is
increasingly seen as a
symbol of Italian qualities
worldwide, while “lifestyle”
is a leading value within the
Italian social context. The
Majorca group has chosen
to follow or if possible preempt
this trend by
undertaking a new product
study based on an analysis of
fashions and experience
gained in “trendsetting”
courses. For this purpose
Majorca has turned to Andrea
Leonardi, a professional
specifically trained in
trendsetting who has led the
company in search of new
trends, the results of which will
be unveiled at Cersaie 2007.
