Male Appeal

The French design house Cacharel, best known for its ready-to-wear womenswear, has opened a pilot store in Paris filled with the company’s first men’s collection. The store is called La Chemiserie Cacharel, or the Cacharel Shirt Store. The store opening comes after the recent appointment of Phillippe Cardon as the new chief executive. In 2006, Cacharel was in the red, but it expects to break even this year.
