David Does the NY Stock Exchange! FarFetch 2018

Shortly after opening at The Shops at the Bravern, our concept and mix of collections drew the attention of FarFetch who was just expanding into the U.S. market from Portugal. Farfetch was a luxury online marketplace originally launched to connect independent boutiques with the global audience at a time when the brands themselves were still leary of online sales.

David Lawrence was one of Farfetch's earliest U.S. partners and has partnered with them since then as the online world has evolved.

In 2018, eleven years after founding the platform, José Neves took the company public. As early adopters, David Lawrence was invited to attend the ringing of the bell on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading floor, located at 11 Wall Street, with a presentation and breakfast to follow.

I had never imagined that my passion for fashion would land me at the historic hub of global stock trading.
