Veronique Branquino Shutting Down

Veronique Branquinho s/s '09 via style

The most striking thing about these economic times we are living in , is that longevity, experience and talent sadly  are not  factors  that allow brands to survive…as per The cut: ” Belgian fashion-design star Veronique Branquinho will close her eleven-year-old label after a steep decline in orders for fall and numerous canceled orders and nonpayments for the spring collection.

Branquinho herself has another gig, as the new artistic director of Belgian leather-goods brand Delvaux. “  Jeez…Don’t even wanna think of who is next?
