On Saturday 2 February, the 21st edition of the Stelle dell’Intimo Gala unveiled the winners of the 2019 competition in the scenic setting of Palazzo Borghese. The top retailers of 2019 were given awards as selected by a prestigious jury of 23 brands and the gala was a seminal moment for the sector in Italy – where brands and shops had the opportunity to meet, share and compare and to feel part of a big ‘family’ of international excellence.
The Jury and Linea Intima select the most representative stores throughout the country, classified into categories that identify the most significant commercial realities for the consumer. The 4 categories are: Reference Shops, New Generation Shops, Concept Stores, Personal Touch Shops, as well as Special Prizes.
