THE SALE OF ITS MULTIBRAND RETAIL DIVISION ON JUNE 29, 2007. NO IMPACT ON 2008.

    Burani Designer Holding N.V (AIM: BRDH), a company offering Italian lifestyle products and
    services to customers world-wide, today notes that BDH's subsidiary, Mariella Burani Fashion Group S.p.A (MBFG), today made the

    PRESS RELEASE

    MARIELLA BURANI FASHION GROUP

    Cavriago, July 2, 2008

    Precision regarding the adjustment of the capital gain realised by MBFG on the sale of its Multibrand Retail Division on June 29, 2007.
No impact on 2008

    Following the press release issued by MBFG on July 1, 2008, please find a summary of the impact that the recalculation of the capital
gain on the sale of MBFG's Multibrand Retail Division has had on the Group's 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements. 

    As previously noted, the release of the 2007 audited consolidated financial statements of its parent company, Burani Designer Holding
N.V., led MBFG to review the accounting treatment applied in the 2007 sale of its Multibrand Retail Division. The review subsequently led
the Board of Directors of Mariella Burani Fashion Group SpA to propose, for shareholder approval, a revision to its 2007 Consolidated
Financial Statements. The revision entails restating MBFG's 2007 consolidated financial statements to reflect EUR 25.5 million of reduced
Revenues, Ebitda, and Ebit, and an additional deferred tax charge of EUR 8.7 million to reflect a total reduction of Net Income of EUR 34.2
million.  

    The reduced net income on the sale of the Multi-brand retail division is reflected in increased reserves in shareholders' equity.
      
    The Company will apply IAS 8, in the revision on its 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements, while 2008 results will not be effected.  

    The 2007 consolidated financial statements of MBFG (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) are summarised as follows:

    The 2007 adjustments relate exclusively to the consolidated accounts and have no impact on the individual company results, including the
parent company, Mariella Burani Fashion Group SpA. The capital gain on the sale of the Multibrand Retail Division was correctly recorded in
the individual statements of the parent company, MBFG SpA and the Net Income remains unchanged at EUR53.7 million.

    Also, the revision will not impact MBFG's 2007 Consolidated Net Financial Position or Shareholders' Equity or the financial statements
of its subsidiary, Antichi Pellettieri SpA. 

    The revision has not impacted the results of MBFG for the first quarter of 2008 and that Company management is confident in its ability
to meet double digit growth expectations for both revenues and ebitda in 2008
