PHV Agency
PHV Agency was founded by Philippe Verschueren in 2000. Philippe has been active in the fashion business for about 30 years, first as a designer of his own brand, afterwards in the wholesale business that resulted in the creation of his own agency.
Thanks to the large network that Philippe has created over the years, the agency now takes care of the commercial and press relations of well-known international fashion brands such as:
Curiosity is an attitude, an instinct. Being curious to steal with eyes, to perfceive every slight change: always discover new textures or yarns, experimenting the most unusual colors mixing and materials. Seek and wonder, over and over again.
A symphony of colors. An explosion of light. Each Amambaih creation tells a story of the rich heritage, traditional artisanry and unyielding passion that imbues it. Unique, sculptural creations inspired by a desire to bring about change. Designed in Paris. Woven in Paraguay. Handcrafted in Spain.
Sartorial tradition and sparkling creativity.

Already from his beginnings, we perceive the freshness and poetry of his creations, which recall Italian gardens and the typically romantic and delicate fantasies of a bygone era, but always current and timeless, such as Vichy paintings and stripes. The infinite desire to express beauty appears after the birth of her two daughters, from whom Cinzia Cinotti will draw inspiration for the two names of her brands “Piccola Ludo” and “Lavi”.
Le Sarte Pettegole, The Gossiping Seamstresses, encapsulates perfection that is seemingly randomly achieved. “Forgotten” stitches, incomplete lines, clashing fabrics that somehow find common ground. Almost as if to say that nothing is predictable, that anything can happen. It is the beauty of the unexpected that elicits a feeling of wonder.

A mix of prints and unexpected color combinations blend with precious materials and linear designs, always with a touch of femininity.
The name MYTHS refers to the myths of Magna Graecia, a symbol of timeless beauty. The same philosophy that is applied to the production of trousers, which embraces a unique style, always current and in search of new experiments in fabrics and washes.
Created in 2016, OOF is inspired by the concept of reversibility: two forms and two different colours, one inside and one outside. Two jackets in one. A “must have” conceived and lived in the name of colour. Practical and comfortable, but with style. The result is the OOF creations which today stand out for their reversibility, style and colour range.
Materials are extremely important to the company, as they are the essence of product quality.
A careful internal selection process of raw materials and ethical suppliers ensures the highest quality standards.

Renato Scaglione was born in Turin in 1932. He studied painting under Felice Casorati and while he demonstrated great capabilities as an artist, he had to join his elder brother, a sewing company representative, in Milan to seek greater economic opportunities. Renato traveled throughout the small villages outside of Milan selling sewing machines; it was during one of those trips that he met Celsa, fell in love with her and decided to marry her. Renato and Celsa shared a strong passion for art and beauty and they decided to use their creativity and artisanal knowledge to launch a new business: in 1966 they established the company, that we know today as Maglificio Scaglione.

Susanne Bommer’s dresses pose questions and question, they break with conventions and play with values. A clever dress is not a costume, not a product, not an object of desire. It is itself an protagonist. Like the woman of the 21st century.
As a designer and entrepreneur, Susanne Bommer is a visionary: since 1993, her collections have impressively demonstrated how she succeeds time and again in combining elegance and experimentation, continuity and innovation.
The Whyci collections primarily rise from a deep knowledge of the raw materials. Silk, wool, cashmere, linen and cotton are mixed to find ever new combinations that make each garment soft and comfortable. The Italian production is of the highest quality, and uses only the purest untreated fibers, with a classic taste and always composed.
