Ok–Those of you who follow The Talented Blonde know that she doesn’t mince words when it comes to retail and um . . .those stocks or concepts or managements who suck. $ANF Abercrombie & Fitch is one of those retail names who has lost its way due to the hubris (read laziness?) of its management […]

Um–are you SERIOUS?! Woody Allen is suing uber retailer American Apparel (APP) over using his image in some of their creative. What cracks me up is that Woody believes that AMERICAN APPAREL is somehow tarnishing HIS image. Um, dude . . .didn’t you marry YOUR DAUGHTER? Seriously . . . _TB

Ok-so you can’t be surprised by what happened today with COH’s Q2 earnings. This is a classic case of an aspirational brand getting squeezed by true luxury brands during a recession. Also, a lessoned -learned when it comes to discounting. You can’t be a white knight in this environment. You have to bite the bullet […]
