In 1982, Harry left the wholesale business to totally concentrate on HD's and in that same year the couple opened up their second store called HD's Women's. This concept was again a high tech design, but totally focused on the growing demands of the women's high fashion market. |

But In 1986 after continued growth in both stores, Harry and Vicki traveled to Europe for the first time. From that one experience the company's concept and image would be changed forever. The combination of the pulse of the fashion direction in Europe, and in the individuality that it would offer not only to their store but to their clientele was a driving force. Today 18 years later HD's for men and HD's for women are close to 40% upcoming European cottage designers. |

Harry and Vicki further sealed the fashion fate of their customers by limiting their purchases to 4 to 6 pieces per item, and increasing their number of trips to Europe to 5 times per year. This would allow their clientele to always wear something very unique with no chances that they would be seen out on the town with a repeated item. HD's has survived the rocky road of over retailing, oil crisis, outlet discount chains by maintaining an on the edge, high profile, superb customer respect and service by keeping their store's image unique with defined European designer influence. |
