09/25/2007


Firm to lead national expansion of chic apparel retailer

New York, NY — Robert K. Futterman & Associates (RKF), the nation’s leading independent real estate firm specializing in retail leasing, investment sales, and consulting services has been selected as the exclusive national retail leasing representative for popular French women’s apparel retailer Diabless.

Samantha Feld, senior managing director of RKF, will develop and execute a strategic growth plan for the retailer’s national expansion.

With three Paris boutiques, a U.S. flagship location at 8406 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, and the first-ever Manhattan store to open in September at 1138 Third Avenue, Diabless is seeking sites in lifestyle shopping centers and urban street locations in major cities including New York, Las Vegas, Miami and Newport Beach, CA. The retailer plans to open an estimated four locations over the next year, with store sizes ranging between 1,200 and 1,500 square feet.

“Diabless is a young and successful fashion retailer, known across Europe for excellence and whimsical designs. It is only fitting for them to be situated in upscale, fashion-conscious urban markets that complement the brand,” said Feld.

The trendy retailer, popular with celebrities, is the go-to brand for women who thrive on inner personalities and have clear, daring fashion instincts. Sophisticated cocktail dresses, sultry sequined minis and sassy separates, Diabless redefines a devoted and yet, defiant, opinion of fashion. The brand illustrates their take on the temperamental school-girl, the Parisian sophisticate and the glam rock socialite. Chic and charming, Diabless carries any girl’s inner personas from day to night.

The country’s leading independent real estate firm specializing in retail leasing and investment sales, Robert K. Futterman & Associates (RKF) serves a broad spectrum of domestic and global clients in services ranging from national tenant and owner representation to advisory, consulting and disposition. With over $7.4 billion in aggregate real estate transactions to its credit, RKF has been responsible for identifying scores of real estate opportunities throughout the United States for leading American and international chains, retailers, developers and institutional clients. RKF is headquartered in New York with offices in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
