I cannot believe I get paid to give my opinions. I truly love my job! Check out the latest article waxing poetic on the launch of Vera Wang at Kohl's department store.

"And I never shop at Kohl's. I don't even know where one is."
I know the last quote sounds sorta snobby, I truly have only been in Kohl's once and that was to buy a gift card for my Grandmother. But I didn't end up buying her one there, I opted for a grocery store gift card. More useful I suspect.
Anyhow, my colleague Norm thinks the quote is appropriate. Since I represent some idea of fashion knowledge for Pittsburgh, is it fitting that I do not shop at Kohl's? I bet even if I did know where it was, I would not stop in to browse. The last company I worked for, we sold product to Kohl's. They all got returned to us because they were burning people, that's a whole other chapter.
Many people express the same wonderment of Vera's decision, however. Shirley, recently shopping for beds, browsed the Vera Wang collection of mattresses. Shirley deduced there was a link to Vera Wang's cache from wedding gowns to the matrimonial mattress. And I suppose there are people who could register for a bed, but that might be kinda weird from your in-laws. But heck, Vera's got china, crystal, and now t-shirts at Kohl's. Does seem to be a bit of a stretch. http://verawang.com/ Onward, fashion!

Some say "Vera Wang" is all wong, but I disagree. For years designers have had their intellectual property stolen as soon as it was made public. While new creations were still on the runways, the factories in China were booting up to mass produce copies at sweet profits to the bootleggers. Now, by selling to mass merchanidsers like Kohl's and Target, the designers are able to increase their profits by getting their creative ideas to the masses themselves. Go Vera!
