Iconix Continues Takeover with Ecko Purchase

After a disasterous 2008 left his company buried beneath a mountain of debt, Marc Ecko’s been forced to sell a controlling interest in his Ecko clothing company to a familiar player in the game … Iconix.

Iconix, who purchased Rocawear in 2007 and a 50% stake in Ed Hardy earlier this year, will reportedly hold a stake in Ecko’s entire portfolio of brands when the deal go through (Ecko Unlimited, Cut & Sew, Avirex, Zoo York and several others.)

One has to wonder what the company will look like once the deal goes through. Unlike the Rocawear and Ed Hardy deals, Ecko is being sold out of neccessity, not a desire to expand the business and brand. Because Iconix is stepping in to save Ecko from a potential bankruptcy it remains to be seen if Ecko will be able to negotiate a position within the newly structured company.

Eve Shuts Fetish Down

After a number of stops and re-starts it looks like ex Ruff Ryders rapper Eve is closing her Fetish clothing line down for good.

Several years ago issues with a manufacturer forced Eve to close the line, but she launched again in late 2008 with a more upscale line that she hoped would cater to a more mature audience.

Of course, 2008 also brought a nationwide recession which made it difficult to regain footing in a crowded space that has become dominated by brands like Baby Phat and Beyonce’s House of Dereon.

Fetish items have been heavily discounted and are going fast. Pick yours up today.

Apple Bottoms To Launch Ladies’ Fragrance

Administrator — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:12:08 +0000

Sean John has had such success with their fragrances that it seems everyone is trying to get a piece of that pie. Last year, Rocawear launched a men’s cologne named 9IX, 50 Cent recently announced his own scent and now, well, Nelly is putting his hat in the ring with Apple Bottoms by Nelly.

The fragrance will be priced at $48 and will hit Macy’s shelves just in time for the holiday shopping season.

Diddy Unveils New Sean John Logo and Spring 2010 Line

Puff has pretty much fallen in love with the internet and social networking. He goes overboard with it … a lot … but every once in a while he drops something worth watching.

Today Diddy unveiled the new Sean John logo on You Tube. Nothing huge there, we’ve seen the new logo before. That said, he and some of the Sean John designers previewed some of the design samples of items that Sean John will be bringing us in the future…

Metal in the arm? I don’t know why I want that. But I do!!

Sean John Expands Into Spain

Administrator — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:33:27 +0000

The Sean John clothing brand has made its first major move by expanding operations into the Spanish market with an exclusive deal to sell the line in El Corte Ingles, a high-end department store. In a move that isn’t seen states’ side often, the store will set up Sean John shops within the main store.

Apparently, the move to Spain was largely because Sean John has seen such success with its fragrances there.

Truthfully, I’m a little surprised to hear Sean John hasn’t had a presence in Europe. They’re last few lines have had a pretty European slant to them. Hopefully they’ll stay true to their roots and won’t go overboard in trying to cater to the European market.

Jay-Z and Rocawear will continue their efforts to penetrate the footwear market when they release their Rocawear R+ Evolution sneakers this June.

The above ad leaked online early this month and reaction has been somewhat mixed, some feeling the new shoe lifts its design from the Kanye West designed Nike Air Jeezy’s.

Love them or hate them, look for the new Rocawear shoes to debut in the Urban Corner store later this summer.
