Urban Outfitters pulled a t-shirt that read "I Support Same Sex Marriage" from shelves just eight days after it landed in stores and online. It was claimed that the shirt spawned too much "bad press" but there's more to this story...
Retailers report that stores are swamped but that most consumers are going for the heavily discounted items rather than slightly discounted gift-able offerings. This, unfortunately, will not help matters.
Doo. Ri has announced the launch of a diffusion line to act in compliment to her ready to wear offerings as seen during New York Fashion Week. The line has yet to be named but is slated to hit stores in 2009.
Forgive us the awkward turn of phrase but stripes of all stripes were out in force on the catwalk for Spring 2009. Horizontal, vertical, or criss cross the pattern made its way onto dresses, shirts, skirts, and even slacks. Sabysachi, Mara Hoffman, Tommy Hilfiger, Aurelio Costarella, Leifsdotter, Doo Ri, Derek Lam, Iodice, Ports 1961, Carmen Marc Valvo, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc, Tibi, Y3, Catherine Holstein, Alice McCall, Rag and Bone, Michael Angel, and Thakoon all showed a variation on the theme.
