VienneMilano is a Boston-based hosiery brand and online boutique specializing in Italian thigh high stockings. Its website was officially launched November 1, 2011.[1][2]
The brand's name comes from the first name of founder, Vienne Cheung, and from Milan, Italy, a city well known for its fashion.[1]
VienneMilano is one of Multiverse Commerce's brands and microstores.[3]
Origin/History[edit]
VienneMilano was created as a result of Cheung’s interest in Italian hosiery[1] and her wish to change the stereotypes surrounding thigh highs in America.[4]
On November 1, 2011 along with the launch of the VienneMilano online boutique their first line of luxury thigh highs was introduced.[3] In celebration of its launch, VienneMilano held a fashion show and keynote by Giuseppe Pastorelli, the Boston Italian General Consul at the InterContinental Boston on November 11, 2011.[5]
