GFC welcomes Spanish fashion designer Adolfo Dominguez on his first-ever visit to his Kuwait franchise
Shares trends for upcoming season; brand expansion into Dubai and Iran through GFC

 Kuwait City, Monday, 23 March 2009: Gulf Franchising Company (GFC) welcomed renowned Spanish fashion designer Mr Adolfo Dominguez on his first trip to Kuwait to visit the Adolfo Dominguez fashion outlets managed and franchised on his behalf by GFC . Following a trip to his outlet at the Avenues Mall, Al Rai - which is also the largest Adolfo Dominguez store in the region - Mr Adolfo Dominguez shared his trends forecast for the next season with news media as well as presented highlights of his current range.

The Adolfo Dominguez brand comprises collections for men and women characterized by sober lines that lend an austere, elegance-seeking beauty; Adolfo Dominguez Complementos - a fashion accessory line for men and women; Adolfo Dominguez Joyas - a different jewelry in which the poetic breath is the decisive factor ; U - a young line for boys and girls, garments of which are styled to hug the body, forming a second skin; Adolfo Dominguez Kids - a collection for children aged between 3-16 years; and Mi Casa Adolfo Dominguez - a collection of handcrafted furniture and decorative objects made out of noble materials.

"Adolfo Dominguez's creations are at the forefront of the fashion retail sector offering quality and eclectic designs. This - coupled with GFC 's expertise in fashion retail, procurement, distribution and marketing - will undoubtedly result in successful and enduring business returns for the Adolfo Dominguez brand in Kuwait as well as the region," says Ahmed Sadoun Al Yaqoub, Chairman & Managing Director, GFC .

Adolfo Dominguez is also the first Spanish fashion brand to have gone public and list its shares on the Madrid Stock Exchange. With a total of 558 exclusive outlets around the world, the brand will continue to strengthen its foothold in the region through its collaboration with GFC . While the UAE's first Adolfo Dominguez outlet was opened at the Dubai Mall in early March, GFC will also introduce the brand in Iran later this year for which GFC has secured a prime high-street location of 375 square meters for the Adolfo Dominguez outlet in Tehran. The Store will focus on offering the up-market Adolfo Dominguez main label along with other affiliated Adolfo Dominguez lines, such as like 'U' - the casual youth range, 'Plus' - the women's-wear large-sized range, 'Salta' - the sports and lifestyle range, as well as a range for kids and fashion accessories.
