LicensingSource.net’s Ian Downes featured the Enesco Lolita® display in his “Licensing Lookout” regular column after a visit at Spring Fair. Lolita®’s unique artistry and partnership with Enesco were cited as fantastic examples of global licensees partnering with contemporary artists. Enesco’s prominent featuring of Lolita’s bold and contemporary styles in their recent Spring Fair lineup was highlighted as a “vote of confidence for art licensing.”
