High-end Luxury Fashion Companies Clamour to sponsor the QRs latest World Tour

(Vogue.com -Online) - Ask any seasoned luxury-goods executives what excites them most about the future of the category, and they will undoubtedly launch into a lengthy discourse on sponsoring the wardrobe for the QuincyRockers. Afterall, being the world's best band, sponsoring apparel for the QRs brings about prestige and honour to the company itself.

Countless proposals have been streaming into the QR Headquarters (Singapore branch), all with the same aim and purpose, which is to provide the almighty QRs with a beguiling wardrobe, complete with a variety of costume changes, makeup stylists, fashion consultants, hair products and cosmetics, for their upcoming World Tour 2008 - EXPLOSION.

The President of Jimmy Choo, Tamara Mellon, was so eager to have the QRs don her shoes, that she sent along a gift packaging, [of 4-inch high mules, stilettos and the coveted limited edition Stardust Sandals] wrapped in gold foil wrapping paper, along with her proposal.

Thus far, only Prada and Yves Saint Lauren's proposals have been accepted. Both companies will be sponsoring crystal-encrusted gloves for the 4 musicians, which they'll be using for their special performance item during the Asia Leg of their world tour.

Requests, by MiuMiu [to sponsor sunglasses], Louis Vuitton [to provide totes, pendants and other accessories], Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Versace [to provide perfumes], Lacoste [to sponsor socks], Tory Buch [to sponsor Cat Suits], Christian Dior[to sponsor jewellery], Emporio Armmani Women [to provide pant suits and velvet tuxedos], Vera Wang [to sponsor leather jackets], Gucci [to sponsor feather hats], Rolex, Longines and Voglia [to sponsor timepieces], Valentino [to sponsor red gowns], Tiffany [to provide hairbands and other hair accessories], Clairns,Estee Lauder, Lancome and Guerlain [to provide makeup and fashion consultants] and Hugo Boss[to provide black leather shoes for Quincy], were all downright rejected by QRs HR Department, as they were seen to be inferior goods.

"All their products did not meet the cut! What we're looking for are apparel that consider the elusive ideal of glamour, something easy to to recognise, harder to define and impossible to emulate", said a spokesman from the HR Department. "Our very own label, Q&R, is the epitome of luxury fashion, and no other brand can fit the bill so perfectly."
