Dior, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Mui Mui - they’re all names that spring to our mind when someone says luxury. 

But there was a time when finding these brands in the US market was a luxury in itself. 

Joining us today is the man who introduced US customers to the world of luxury fashion - David Assil. 

David is the founder of Madison Style and he’s been in the fashion industry for the last 33 years. Madison Style is one of LA’s oldest luxury resale boutiques. In fact, he was one of the very first people to bring iconic brands like Prada and Dior to the US market. However, as the years went by and the competition got denser, David realized the need to pivot. Today’s episode is all about how David swiftly transformed from luxury retail to in-house manufacturing and direct-to-consumer sales. 

Join David and Daniel as they discuss how this shift has helped Madison Style maintain greater control over their products and offer customers a more personalized experience. The challenges of navigating the ever-changing landscape of fashion, and the precision and foresight that goes into building a luxury fashion brand.
