Brand management and licensing firm Dream Theatre has bagged the rights to develop the licensing business of Liverpool Football Club in India and South Asia.

Jiggy George, Founder & CEO, Dream Theatre, said that the Liverpool Football Club has a passionate fan base in India and South Asia. “We will forge long-term partnerships with licensees and retailers to offer authentic licensed products to fans,” he added.

Besides India, the company has also got the mandate to develop the club’s licensing business in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

“At Dream Theatre, we have three key verticals — entertainment, sports, and lifestyle. With the growth in the Indian market, the sports vertical has become a significant part of the business. We are thrilled to add Liverpool Football Club to our portfolio and are aiming for a 25 percent increase in our sports portfolio,” he added.

Main focus

The company plans to launch a range of licensed products in various categories such as apparel, sporting goods, and accessories.

George said, “Our main focus will be apparel and we will work with solid partners who have the wherewithal across product, distribution, and marketing. We will also look at other lifestyle-related categories of footwear, innerwear, bags, personal-care and sporting goods. But our core proposition will be built around a strong apparel portfolio.”

The licensed Liverpool merchandise will be available at leading retail stores and on e-commerce portals.

Dream Theatre represents various brands such as the Smiley Company, Sanrio, Real Madrid, The Pokémon Company and Rovio for licensing and merchandising in India and South Asia.

Jacqueline Fernandez unveils a new active wear brand, ‘Just F’

Jacqueline Fernandez and Mojostar have unveiled the active wear brand exclusively on Amazon Fashion for Prime Day.

Jacqueline Fernandez along with Mojostar recently unveiled the Just F collection exclusively on Amazon Fashion for the eagerly awaited Prime Day! Just F will be available on Amazon Fashion for pre-booking on 16th July on the occasion of Prime Day with an official launch on 17th July.

Comprising innovative, trendy, and stylish active wear outfits for the modern Indian woman, the Just F collection offers over 100 styles on Amazon Fashion curated and handpicked by Jacqueline that includes sports bras, tops, shorts and skirts, tights and tracks, dresses, sweatshirts and jackets. The brand aims to democratize modern active wear for women without compromising on quality, and has priced all its products between INR 1,299 and INR 3,499.

Just F is a women-focused active wear brand, designed and created with the modern Indian woman in mind. It puts women and what they want at the core and looks at fitness and active wear from their perspective, rather than the lens of the men’s domain. A key differentiator is Just F’s approach to construction, sizing, and styling. All Just F products are specifically designed for the Indian female body type and are imbued with crossover styling to bring fun back into the mix, even as it helps women fashionably achieve their fitness goals.

Speaking on the product launch, Jacqueline Fernandez, Co-creator and Co-owner – Just F, said, “I am super excited to bring Just F to the doorsteps of women from all across the country with Amazon Fashion! The timing couldn’t have been better as everyone is looking forward to the second edition of Prime Day. The core idea behind Just F is to highlight that fitness can be fun, fashionable, and unabashedly feminine.” Sharing her thoughts on the exclusive Amazon Fashion partnership, Jacqueline further said, “Women professionals, especially those hailing from urban areas, are extremely comfortable with shopping online. Given that e-commerce is the primary launch medium for the brand, partnering with Amazon Fashion will make Just F products more conveniently accessible and available.”

Jiggy George, Managing Director & Founding Partner – Mojostar, added, “Active wear in India is still largely serving the needs of male consumers, both via product offering and communication. Just F fills this gap by presenting a stylish, fun, yet functional proposition that places women first. The products have been designed keeping in mind the specific needs of our target audience – their body type, fitness goals, and active lifestyles. Our exclusive partnership with Amazon, with its pan-India presence and robust logistics network, will only serve to amplify Just F’s reach.”

Commenting on the launch, Arun Sirdeshmukh, Head – Amazon Fashion said, “Post receiving an overwhelming response on our handpicked selection of fashion brands during Prime Day last year, we are committed to bring together an even more exciting line-up this year. We are delighted to launch the much awaited Just F by Jacqueline Fernandez exclusively on Amazon Fashion for our Prime members across the country. The new customers shopping on Amazon Fashion are definitely in for an extravaganza with Jacqueline’s signature brand coming to their doorsteps with free Prime enabled next day delivery.”
