PROFILE |
 |
Monsoon rains down fuschia Nehru-collar blouses and purple chenille throws. The company offers women's and children's apparel, home furnishings, and accessories from about 250 Monsoon and Accessorize stores in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the US. Originally a purveyor of ethnic fashions from India and the Far East, Monsoon now sells what it calls "deluxe boho chic" casual and dress apparel. Its Accessorize outlets account for 40% of sales and the company is opening them at a faster rate than its namesake chain. The company has been growing rapidly and plans to double its UK stores (which account for more than 90% of sales) by 2003. Founder and chairman Peter Simon owns about 73% of the company.
