UP CLOSE WITH: Teamleader Armani & Formal Department Geoffroy André

In honor of our 50th anniversary, we’re celebrating the people behind Fashion Club 70. Up Close With those who have been part of the company for many years. A series of 12 people, the whole year round, that define the half-century of FC70.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE FASHION CLUB 70 IN ONE WORD?

Versatile. FC70 has so many facets: we’re an agency, we operate on a European level, and we have one of the largest showrooms. It’s a place that’s constantly evolving and always finding solutions to the latest changes. For me, it’s special to see how FC70 has grown from its early days to what it is today. From the small three-story office to the large company we are now. Being part of it for 25 years makes it even more meaningful.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITHIN THE COMPANY AND WHERE DOES YOUR EXPERTISE LIE?

I’ve been with FC70 for 25 years and currently serve as Team Lead for the Armani & Formal department. I’ve always focused on Italian menswear, working with leading brands like Pal Zileri, Armani, Moose Knuckles, Sand… the list goes on. :)

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND HOW HAS FC70 RESPONDED TO IT?

The fashion world has changed dramatically since the pandemic. Everyone thought the future was online, but we’ve seen that physical stores remain essential. Consumers want guidance and a real experience when shopping. At the same time, fashion is shifting towards quiet luxury: logo-mania is gone, and everything has become more subtle. FC70 responds by staying innovative, quickly adapting to trends, and supporting local brands wherever possible.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST MEMORY AT FC70?

The legendary parties! We sure know how to celebrate at Fashion Club 70. Theme parties, with full costumes, are my favorite. We go all in. I’ve had so many amazing moments and formed lasting friendships.
