Helmut Lang 2011 Spring

Nicole and Michael Colovos had twin boys over the summer, but they had a different baby to show off at their Helmut Lang presentation: a new bag collection. The fresh arrivals—washed and weathered leather envelope clutches, top-handle day bags, and oblong evening sacks on long leather straps—have much in common with the duo's clothes, i.e. they're studiously constructed to appear absolutely effortless. The best part: They don't look like anyone else's wares. As for the Spring collection, the husband-and-wife team's thinking was in line with other designers this week: fresh, airy, and light. Whites, taupes, and nudes for the most part replaced black; natural, organic textures dominated; and the overall silhouette was looser, more relaxed. A great-looking silk crepe jacket with a chiffon lapel, for instance, came unlined, which means it'll be as easy to slouch on as your favorite cardigan, but a heck of a lot more sexy.

Japan Tragedy

Japan is going through the toughest time caused by the earthquake and tsunami. Even worse, nuclear facilities exploded, so Japanese are exposed to the radiation. The prime minister called it Japan’s worst crisis since World War II. The disaster has left more than 10,000 people dead, many thousands homeless and millions without water, power, heat or transportation.



Japanese economy is threatened by this tragedy. Japan is $5 trillion economy. This number is third largest in the world. Most of Industries are all stopped, and they put more effort on finding survivors, evacuating residents, caring for the victims. Not only Japanese economy but also global economy is also predicted to dent. Tiffany & Co., 3.6 percent to $57.68, Louis Vuitton, 2.2 percent to $145.46, and Coach Inc., 2.1 percent to $52.02. All of these company’s shares declined sharply last monday.

NEW line coming in-Kardashian


We are just about to introduce our licensing partnership with Kardashian. She is one of the biggest iconic stars of today. Our exclusive Kardashian line is available at our boutique in down town and web site from March 7th. This is pretty huge project for a small designer boutique like us. However, we thought that this is significant and critical to increase sales and expand our market.

Through this strategic alliance, we are expecting to increase sales and expand our target market. According to our research, average age of our main customer is 42. During last year, our main concern to our business was how to bring in more of new contemporary customers. Thus we finalized our thought that Bringing in Kardashian to our women’s wear collection will be a critical key to this concern.

The exclusive line is specifically aimed at client ages from 17 to 35. They will feature about 30 apparel pieces, 10 lingerie styles, 30 jewelry items, 10 handbags and 12 shoe choices that reflect fashion tastes of Kim.
