Fashion Designer Introduces Spring 2006 with Lower Prices at Flagship 'Phil's 1908' in Midtown Manhattan

Fashion designer Philip H. Pravda lowered prices for the upcoming spring/summer 2006 season by almost twenty percent at the flagship "Phil's 1908" located in midtown Manhattan.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) March 15, 2006 -- As the Spring season begins for men's fashion, designer Philip H. Pravda has been able to lower prices almost twenty percent on incoming merchandise from Italy.

"It's phenomenal to be able to bring prices down since the Euro has been on a more stable footing for quite a few months. When most designers have no control over their pricing structure because of licensing arrangements, I buy all my fabrics directly and then manufacture directly. With complete control I can better dictate where my retail prices should fall without compromising margins.” Says designer Philip H. Pravda.

Italian made merchandise has been selling at a premium in many department stores and small boutiques mainly because of the large costs involved in advertising and fashion shows. At “Phil’s 1908” located at Phil’s Corner, Third Avenue and 59th Street the men’s suit collection this season consists of slim silhouettes, flat front pants and hand stitched suits from Super 110’s and 120’s wool fabrics.

“I was so tired of skyrocketing prices, especially in New York City for clothing.” Says Philip H. Pravda. “It’s time for New Yorkers to get top grade goods at better prices. I am on a mission to continue on this path with my menswear collection. This seasons footwear will also be lower priced, but still not wear I would ideally want to be. Handmade shoes are labor intensive.” In addition to super light wools there will be many jackets for sport in cottons and linen fabrics in un-constructed models. “I have found a niche in creating garments that do not have shoulder pads.” Flagship “Phil’s 1908” located at Third Avenue and 59th Street in Midtown Manhattan is the department store alternative.
