...decade ago, European designer outlet malls fell into two categories: bad and worse. The handful that existed were mainly grubby places in France and Italy. Not surprisingly, they weren't too popular, and retailing experts said that proved Europeans were suspicious of discount malls and cut-rate goods. But why were American outlet centers crammed with holidaying Europeans snatching up bargain brands by the suitcaseload? Washington developer J.W.
