Landmark International, a division of Landmark Group,

has signed a multi-territory agreement with British fashion brand, Lipsy to launch into key regions in the Middle East including UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon.
 
Lipsy, which was acquired by Next in 2008, is known for its on-trend celebrity fast-fashion styles, and will open its first store in the Middle East in early 2012, with more stores planned in the region within the next five years.

This new partnership further strengthens the division's focus on managing and growing Landmark Group's portfolio of international brands, which operates franchises for retail chains including New Look and Reiss.
 
Commenting on the collaboration, Renuka Jagtiani, Vice Chairperson of Landmark Group, said "We have ambitious growth plans to develop Lipsy within the region and believe their unique handwriting, glamorous fashion outlook and continuous celebrity endorsement will be a success within our markets".
 
Jeremy Stakol, CEO at Lipsy, added, "This is a key milestone in our international expansion and underscores the international appeal of our brand. We are delighted to be working with the team at Landmark and look forward to introducing Lipsy to their customers".
