Neiman Marcus Names New Men’s Fashion Director
This week, Matthew Singer stepped up as Men’s Fashion Director for Dallas-based Neiman Marcus. He follows Nick Wooster in the role, who left last May. Via
NM Daily we learned that the 32-year-old New Yorker is currently on a whirlwind working tour of Florence, Milan, and Paris, but we do hope Singer will stop by Big D for a visit soon.
American Apparel Gets Groupon Boost
Oft-embroiled retailer
American Apparel clings to life, while its search for aid in covering massive debt continues.
WWD reports that a pre-Black Friday Groupon offer contributed to a 15% sales increase in the month of December. CEO Dov Charney said to the publication, “We’re getting our groove back a bit.” He was reached for comment in San Antonio, wrapping up a 10-day visit to various stores in southern states. Wonder why he didn’t come to Dallas? Our
Nancy Upton may have a guess.
Collaborations Galore
Earlier this week,
we shared the latest on upcoming designer collabs from both Target and H&M. Jason Wu’s capsule line will hit the bullseye on February 5th. Marni for H&M bows March 8th, but the Swedish retailer is still not divulging whether or not Dallas stores will receive the goods.
Also in the news, Target has announced an upcoming store-in-store program, complimenting its existing designer collaboration strategy. The “Shops at Target” will debut in stores and online on May 6th, featuring limited-time goods from indie boutiques including San Francisco’s The Candy Store and The Webster in Miami.
