Q | Please describe how and why Part Two
has renewed its focus on jeans and pants
A | We know how difficult it is to find the
perfect fit, and we want to be the go-to
brand for just that. Consumers should be
able to return to their favourite fit over and
over again. We have focused a lot on the va-
riation within the pants category - all kinds
of pants are represented. We have paid ex-
tra attention to the fit, and we care for the
details. Pants will continue to play a central
role in the Part Two collections.
Moreover, we have a weakness for casual
elements in our styles, which is also a cen-
tral part of Part Two's DNA and makes our
pants very mix-and-match friendly.
