Boggi Milano

Opening at Dubai Mall

Boggi Milano undergoes a process of evolution

Boggi operates over 110 stores worldwide, and has recently entered new key markets including Paris, Moscow, Munich, and Budapest, expanding its international development. Future plans involve launching new branches in several metropolitan cities, airports and railway stations.Boggi continuously focuses a great deal on details as it creates Boggi’s exclusive ambience. Through its elegant and dynamic style, Boggi Milano offers its customers a wide collection of quality and style at affordable prices. During the last few years, Boggi Milano has undergone a process of evolution and modernisation. Today Boggi Milano does not only focus on men’s formal attire. The new collection offers businessmen and professionals more causal, comfortable items whilst maintaining a touch of elegance and charm. Since its inception in1939, Boggi has landed a great number of successes. In 1964, the first mono-brand store was launched in Milan, and Boggi began its development of a retail network where customers could choose among items from both the formal and casual collections. The eighties and nineties saw the brand’s expansion and growth in Italy. In 2003, a strong international development began, which led to Boggi’s presence today in Europe (Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Hungary, Greece), Middle East (Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan), India and Russia. The expansion of the Brand in the Middle East due to the very successful and well established partnership with Azadea Group, has enabled Boggi Milano to inaugurate stores at 12 of the most distinguished shopping malls in the region. On March 1, Azadea launched the 4th Boggi store in the UAE at The Dubai Mall — level 1, making it the 12th branch in the region, and the first to represent Boggi’s new concept. The all new fit-out concept is characterised by the elaborate details and shades applied throughout the store’s interior. New elements are displayed throughout, evoking the sixties brought fully up-to-date with the highly innovative finishing. The colour palette, composed of rosewood and ivory coating, is enhanced by the dark rifle-gray color of steel and the eye catching wallpaper. The changing rooms were intricately decorated in wall fabric with a silk-shantung effect and rosewood “boiserie.” In the upcoming two years, Azadea plans to double Boggi’s presence in the Middle East by opening 14 new stores, making Boggi Milano a key player in menswear fashion. The group will be introducing the third Boggi store in Qatar at Lagoona Mall in May 2012 with a new concept that reflects Boggi’s casual line, and the 3rd branch in Lebanon at Le Mall Dbayeh in July 2012. Future plans aim at Boggi’s expansion into new Markets like Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia and at a later stage, Central Asia.

Product / Menu Launch at Dubai Marina Mall

Boggi Milano launches its FW14 collection through styling sessions at the brand's new boutique in Dubai Marina Mall

Dubai, 06 November 2014 - Leading Italian menswear and lifestyle brand, Boggi Milano, recently launched its FW14 collection at its newly opened boutique in Dubai Marina Mall. Held on the 27th and 28th of October on boutique premises, the collection launch was carried out over two days in collaboration with prominent Dubai-based fashion and lifestyle blogger, Christian Kashasha of Men in Style fame. Echoing the warm yet sophisticated setting of all Boggi Milano boutiques the world over, the newly opened Boggi Milano store in the Dubai Marina Mall proved to be the most ideal setting for the fashionable occasion. The events witnessed the attendance of select media from the UAE who were treated to personalized styling sessions with Christian. In each one-on-one session, Christian provided the editors with personal styling pointers and conveyed what style would suit them most. He also introduced the FW14 collection and gave them tips on how best to carry the Boggi Milano FW14 collection. The FW14 collection is built around four main themes: printed season, new comfort, exclusive yarn and black watch. PRINTED SEASON The winter season 2014-15 is strongly characterized by the return of mismatched garments, opening the wardrobe to patterned jackets and blazers in soft light colors. NEW COMFORT Here, garments are more comfortable and closer to tailoring. The brand introduces a range of blazers with shirt-effect rounded shoulders to confer maximum comfort. Another new entry is the Fit Drop 8, a fit suit model with contoured waist and slimmer reveres. The fitted cut of the trousers and turtlenecks give a contemporary style, less formal but elegant with the “new comfort”, that replaces the shirt and tie. EXCLUSIVE YARN 130'S wool yarn suits or jackets in unique mixture of wool and cashmere with patterns and colors that are specially created for the brand. These exclusive fabrics for Boggi mingle with more technical materials, hence providing a wide high quality selection. BLACK WATCH The sports line BM39 sees the return of the British style with the black watch: a check pattern characterized by navy and dark green shades. Included in this mood are also the shirt and pants both embellished with details in dark shades with a sophisticated and at the same time sporty connotation. Boggi Milano has 122 boutiques worldwide in 41 countries and dedicates itself to providing its valuable clientele with the best and most fashionable in formal and casual menswear. About Azadea Group Holding SAL Azadea Group is a premier fashion and lifestyle retail company that owns and operates more than 40+leading international franchise concepts across the Middle East and North Africa.
