Steve Madden collaborated on the Elizabeth and James footwear collection, so it's no surprise the brand has teamed up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's new venture, Olsenboye. The shoe company is set to produce a collection of footwear and accessories that include suede flats, canvas sneakers, slouchy plaid handbags, and small bucket bags. Starting this Friday, Nov. 6, you can get your Olsenboye on at jcp.com and in 50 JCPennney stores. Look out for a full launch for Spring.

On Our Radar: JCPenney's on a Fashionable Roll

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Hot on the heels of its Charlotte Ronson deal, JCPenney has found its latest collaborator: Allen B. Schwartz. The mega-retailer has enlisted the LA-based designer to create a trendy and fun collection of dresses and sportswear.

Schwartz describes the collection as California cool. “Today, what is exploding is the antifit look, the crop look, the boy jean, ruffle blouses and the new harem pant. It’s very baggy, very ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ inspired said the designer. The line, set to launch in February, will include an array of tie-dyed knit tops, jumpsuits, dresses, and tops such as the ones seen above. Prices range from $30 for tees to $70 for dresses, and the collection will be available in stores and online at jcp.com.

Fab Flash: Charlotte Ronson Hits Mass Market

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:00:21 -0700

Charlotte Ronson's deal with J.C. Penney is a win-win situation. Penney's gets a hip boost in their contemporary department while Ronson soaks in the mass market appeal. Most importantly, we get to purchase her trendy offerings at spot-on prices.

“I really don’t see this customer as a different girl than the one who already wears my line, but for me to be able to offer great quality clothes at these amazing prices - what could be better in a poor economy?” said Ronson.

The I Heart Ronson collection, set to debut in stores and online in February, offers up a variety of styles made in hues of gray, navy, olive green and pink. Looks include casual cotton tees, tanks, cardigans and jackets to feminine polyester and cotton voile dresses. The budget-friendly line ranges from $15 for a tee to $65 for jackets and dresses. Her swimsuit collaboration made a fashionable splash in our books but we're even more excited to see this.

Fab Flash: Kimora Lee Simmons Unveils Her Fabulosity

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:00:22 -0700

In an attempt to get in with the in crowd, JCPenney has teamed up with Baby Phat founder Kimora Lee Simmons, in launching her exclusive juniors line, Fabulosity. The brand will encompass the same trendy elements as its sister label but at lower price points, between $29 to $108, in comparison to Baby Phat's $30 to $200 range.

"The Fabulosity girl is fun, fashionable and chic, but she doesn't want to spend her last penny on something to wear. This collection is fashionable, but also affordable. The days of spending tons on clothes are gone - I mean, I still do it, but young girls can't," said Simmons. Kimora also expressed interest in expanding Fabulosity into a full-lifestyle collection, comparable to Baby Phat's, adding shoes, accessories, handbags, and a home collection.

Offerings of skinny denim, blouses, knit tops, and dresses are currently available online and will be sold in stores this month.

Fab Flash: Ralph Lauren Launches American Living

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Ralph Lauren and JC Penney have teamed up to launch American Living, an extensive new line of clothing. This marks the first time Ralph Lauren has created a brand for another retailer without using the Ralph Lauren name or some indication of the name like Polo or RLX.

American Living evokes the upscale American lifestyle that the Ralph Lauren brand is best known for - tailored navy blazers ($150), madras plaid skirts ($70), cable-knit sweaters ($60) - and is now available at 600 JC Penney stores and AmericanLiving.com.

Although the prices are 15 percent higher than other labels sold in JC Penney, Michael Boylson, chief marketing officer, counters that "with American Living you can have great style, great quality, at an affordable price." Are you convinced?

On Our Radar: Machine Washable Suiting

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:00:22 -0700

The power suit is back: but with a new power. It's now machine-washable and with a flattering cut. For all you young professionals out there whose suits are like a uniform, take a breath of fresh air. No more hauling piles of blazers, pants, and skirts back and forth to the dry cleaners on a weekly basis!

Nicole by Nicole Miller has an affordable "Smart Suit" at JCPenney: $132 for jackets, $72 for pants, and $60 for skirts. Erin Fetherston for Target has the more feminine washable skirt suit at left coming out in mid-November, and Kohl's Apt. 9 label offers a washable tweed pantsuit. Some are also wrinkle-resistant, so you can just wash and wear.
