Re: Kohl's New Vera Vera (by Vera Wang) Line

she obviuosly forgot what happened to Halston when he sold to JCP in the 60s

edited to add- Halston was a huge high end designer in the 1960's- then he sold a line of clothing to JC penny's- it ruined him- his high end customers dropped him

now Vera Wang has expanded her business to high end china and gifts- it makes sense

but ready to wear at Kohl's- it does not make sense

now a less expensive line of wedding gowns makes sense

this does not

Re: Kohl's New Vera Vera (by Vera Wang) Line

I certainly don't know much about fashion and how designers rate against eachother...

but don't a few designers have lines in Target?

I don't really know if you can compaire the two...but I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing. I just don't know why she picked Kohl's....

Yes - it said in one article they are hoping the line will be as big as Isaac Mizrahi's at Target

I certainly dont think its a bad thing

look at martha stewart...shes sells in kmart..and shes coming out with a line for bloomies and other high end stores.
she also sels very expensive furniture. i dont think the kmart thing hurt her at all

and i doubt the interest in vear wang wedding dresses, shoes and high end barware and chine will decrease at all

This is what I was thinking. There's a huge difference between high end wedding/special occasion/formal wear opposed to moderately priced day wear. They are not competing markets at all so I think it could be a success for both Vera Wang & Kohls.

I have to agree with Beth, she should stick with what she does best, wedding gowns.

I guess it depends on what her line loks like, Issac Mizrahi has great stuff at Target & his line does very well.

she's right about that. Isaac is more of a "personality" in the "real" fashion world. I don't think he is even designing high end anymore at all.

but another poster had a point. I think b/c her high end lines (wedding related) will be so different than a ready to wear Kohl's collection she will do fine. Her high end stuff is specialized, so she won't be alienating anyone.

also, the 80's was a different time...

Re: Kohl's New Vera Vera (by Vera Wang) Line

I don't think it makes sense from a business point of view- in maintaing brand imagine and intergrity

but from a $$$$ point of view- I can see why she is doing it

I would rather see her do a less expensive line of wedding dresses- I think that would be better for her

Not really b/c then the people who buy her high end wedding dresses just for the sake of saying " I'm wearing wang" will go elsewhere. Now you have people not in the same legue/class or whatever you want to call it wearing a vera wang wedding gown.... it would not be good for her high end line at all IMO

it's better then her selling clothes at Kohl's IMO- personally I think she has lost some clout to Monquie Luillhier (spelling) you her less and less about Vera Wang gowns

which is why I think a lower line of wedding gowns would be better for her

I think the exact opposite - wedding gowns with a lower price point would compromise her original line. IMO there would be nothing extraordinary about wearing a Vera Wang wedding gown if one can be purchased for 3k instead of 10K.

almost every designer has a lower end line

Prada- Mui Mui
Micheal Kors- Micheal

of course now I am at a loss-
Ralph Lauren sells purple lable $$$$$ and polo jeans $

Donna Karen and DKNY jeans

fashion shows and couture are not what makes money for fashion houses and designers- it's the perfume, sunglasses and other lower end products that make them profitable

fashion shows are to for PR and promotion
