Gucci bags International Luxury Brand Award

Sven Gaede, McArthurGlen's Managing Director, UK, presented the International Luxury Brand Award to Niccolò Moschini, Gucci's Worldwide Corporate Communications Director.

Sven commented: "We are delighted to be presenting this award to Gucci, a brand that embodies all the characteristics of a truly leading international name in luxury - high fashion, Italian style, traditional craftsmanship and a global consciousness."

The Award is given to the international (non-British) luxury brand that has the greatest impact in terms of sales (in the UK and overseas), innovation, customer service, and business and media exposure in 2013.

This is the sixth year running that McArthurGlen has sponsored the Award; previous winners are Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hublot, Hermès and Ferrari.

Gucci is a brand partner of McArthurGlen's, with stores at two of McArthurGlen's flagship designer outlets - Designer Outlet Roermond, near Düsseldorf, and Designer Outlet Parndorf, near Vienna. The luxury fashion house is due to open a further two new stores with McArthurGlen, at McArthurGlen Noventa di Piave near Venice and Serravalle Designer Outlet near Milan, by the end of November.
