Hear about Melanie’s Paris trip!

Dear G.irls

Last weekend we have enjoyed our trip to Paris with the confashion winner Melanie. She was wearing the most wicked outfits and made a lasting impression on the G.point team!

Paris was a blast, we loved the tradeshow and found some black pearls (metaphorically) for sure! A few days later, I interviewed Melanie on her lasting memories!

Recha: What was the first thing you told your girlfriends when you came back?
Melanie: I showed them the photos, of course! Then I told them about the process of fashion buying. I never thought of the fact that you guys buy the fashion one year ahead, which impressed me! I love how you already see what’s going to be in fashion one year in advance, amazing!

R: Did you love being a G.irl for a weekend?
M: Yes, I had so much fun. You were all so lovely, I had a great time with you guys and I felt very welcome. I loved being a G.irl!

R: Has the tradeshow changed your understanding of fashion and how is that going to have an impact on your life?
M: I didn’t know about tradeshows at all before Paris! To get to know about the amount of different brands that exist, about the huge size of a tradeshow (it’s huge, I tell you!!)  and how many people there are. I will for sure check out the new designers that I discovered with the G.irls and will come to G.point when the new stuff will arrive next winter. I am glad I was there picking clothes with Nadja and loved every single piece she got.

R: What trends did you like most?
M: From the Winter 2012 collections, I loved the colorful pants the most, especially the washed jeans in the colors of burgundy and mint!

R: Thanks for your time Melanie, any last words?
M:
I wanted to thank Nadja, Gabi and Recha (and the G.point team!) for this weekend in Paris! Thanks for picking me. It was a great experience, very interesting and valuable to me. This weekend helped me to be even more interested in fashion and to understand the business side behind it as well! Thank you again, for taking me along on this great weekend, I enjoyed it so much!!

We had a great time with you too, Melanie, and hope to have you back at G.point soon!

All the best from the G.irls,

yours sincerely Recha.

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE

Paris we heart you!

Dear G.irls

We took lovely Melanie, our Confashion winner, to Paris this weekend where she could experience the life of a fashion buyer for two days!

We had picked Melanie as the winner because of her absolutely crazy but truly individual style. We made a great choice, Melanie is not only a very stylish girl, but also a sweetheart!

Saturday morning, we arrived in Paris. Bonjour!

Gabi and Nadja came pretty much straight from Berlin, Melanie all the way from Lucerne and Recha from Zürich (got up at 5am!). United, we had a faboulous first day in Paris and did some serious shopping and store checking!Le Metro, c’est chic.

Who’s next tradeshow in Paris!

Gabi & Nadja are ready.

HELLO MELANIE!!!

Having a choice doesn’t always make things easier… Melanie helped picking like a pro!

The designer Tatjana showed us her cute collection and the G.irls chose the perfect pieces for you.

Recha fell in love with these earrings!

Meli loved this clutch! Spiky!!

We had such a good time in Paris, saw amazing new collections, found some new exciting designers, picked lovely pieces, ate great food, had so many good laughs and can’t wait to show you the treasures we found in Paris!

Adieu, Paris…

Berlin calling

Hey Girls

We just came back from Berlin where we spent three days visiting some tradeshows like PREMIUM, BREAD & BUTTER where we were looking at the collections Fall/Winter 2012 yes…. that is right – already now!

Here some pictures…starting with Bread & Butter Tradeshow at the beautiful, enormous and antique Berlin-Tempelhof airport.

Tommy Hilfiger Denim presented their collection on models which were ice skating. How cool is that?!

After BREAD & BUTTER we discovered this new tradeshow called SHOW & ORDER in an old power-plant which had an amazing industrial, undergroundy ambiance!!! But presenting very chic brands.

Get ready for our report and pics from Paris where we are hanging out in our hotel rooms right now!

Cheers G.irls!

Recha, Gabi, Nadja & our confession winner Melanie!

Paris, here we come!

Dear G.irls,

Do you remember the winner of our confashion contest at the G.point store opening?

Melanie and the G.irls arrived in Paris, we just checked into our hotel rooms and now we are totally going to hit town!

Cya later,

the G.irls.

Southbound Festival

Hey G.irls

Let me tell you about my crazy trip over New Years! I went to Australia on a roadtrip and ended up at the biggest festival of Western Australia called Southbound! 15’000 people and an amazing line up during two hot summer days, what more can you ask for?

It’s summer over there and I wanted to show you some streetstyle shots I took to give you a bit of summer feeling I could enjoy during the last three weeks, ENJOY!

I’ve seen a lot of lace, high waist shorts, bandaux tops, flower prints, ankle boots, flip flops (becuase it was 36 degrees hot) and so many girls with long beautiful hair!

Are you looking forward to our festival summer? We will have plenty of festival fashion at G.point ready waiting for you! Just ask one of our staff to help you find your perfect outfit…!! But that’s a few months to go now so this was just a little teaser!

Isn’t summer just fabulous??!!!

All the best,

XX Recha.
