Joseph Corré, Co-founder Agent Provocateur, commented: “This new phase in the development of Agent Provocateur will give us the operational and financial platform to realise the company's potential so that it takes its rightful position as the world's most dynamic luxury lingerie brand!”
Serena Rees, Co-founder Agent Provocateur, commented: “From the conception of Agent Provocateur in Soho '94, we have provoked thought and reaction, we brought lingerie to the forefront of fashion, brought sexuality out into the open and have given sex a sense of luxury. I am extremely proud of where Agent Provocateur stands today and am hugely excited about the next stage of growth. The future is bright for Agent Provocateur and 3i.”
Stuart Rose, Chairman Agent Provocateur, commented: “Agent Provocateur is an exceptional company, which over the last 13 years, has built a unique business. I am looking forward to help develop Agent Provocateur's position and building its brand across multiple channels.“
