Our Story
Born from an entrepreneurial spirit the Style Lab is rooted in honest, hard work.
Leaving their small village in Italy at just 21 and 18 respectively, Valentina and Silvia Cangiano headed for London in 2007. Prior experience in PR and fashion had given them business acumen; however they had already noticed a hole in the market. How could small, luxury brands compete with the big players? Thus Milletre was born – set in London’s finest residential district, Milletre was one of London’s first concept stores, specialising in showcasing young designers from all over the world.
Fuelled by their passion and energy – plus a few mistakes along the way, the sisters made their boutique start-up one of the most successful in London in a matter of years. The success of the store generated tremendous media awareness both in the UK and abroad, and resulted in a huge network of trusted contacts, which continues to expand today.
This solid foundation in retail, public relations and marketing set the scene for Style Lab. A natural evolution of their talents, Style Lab takes the expertise of in-field experience and turns it into agile communications across all luxury industries.
