New licensing deal's got legs!
Xcel Brands signs new licensing deal with United Legwear Company
The
agreement will give United Legwear the license to manufacture and
distribute legwear for the Isaac Mizrahi New York brand.
The collection will be available at retail in Autumn 2012 and will be
compromised of opaque tights, patterned tights, trouser socks, leggings,
and sheers. Patterns will include swiss dots, large dots, houndstooth,
herringbone, and lace. Fashion tights will mostly consist of
approximately 83% nylon and 17% spandex, which will provide excellent
recovery (the ability of the tights to snap back into shape), but this
may vary slightly for each style.
Robert D'Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Xcel Brands, Inc.
said, "I am very excited to be in business with United Legwear to launch
our Fall 2012 legwear collection. This license is a great addition to
our growing brand."
Isaac Mizrahi, Creative Director, Xcel Brands, Inc., said, "Legwear is
such a fun central subject in fashion. I start most collections thinking
about legwear, it's like starting a meal with dessert! I am excited to partner with Xcel in the launch of their new Isaac
Mizrahi legwear line for Fall '12," said Isaac Ash, President and CEO of
United Legwear. "The Isaac Mizrahi brand stands for timeless,
cosmopolitan style with a bit of irreverence, some humor, and a lot of
confidence. ULC will be able to translate those key elements into tights
and socks that will be meaningful at retail and appeal to women of all
kinds."
