EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Colleagues, Wisteria is all around! This woody climbing plant native to China has been a beautiful inspiration for our Spring / Summer 17 collection and now it spins further: From our Art Basel event in Hong Kong to the SKP Pop up store in Beijing: Wisteria is all around! We are hitting the right nerve here: much acclaimed hotel ‘Claridge’s’ in London shares Wisteria posts. And one of our VIPs who fell in love with the collection invited us to her private Wisteria garden with a 500 year old plant. This is what we need: a beautiful, relevant inspiration, strong product execution and a consistent message across markets. Don’t miss out all the videos in this digital magazine. We like engaging with you. Yours, Raphaël le Masne de Chermont 6 7
