Fashion News: Crocs Could be Their Last Legs

Crocs were born of the economic boom. The colorful foam clogs appeared in 2002, just as the country was recovering from a recession. Brash and bright, they were a cheap investment (about $30) that felt good and promised to last forever. Former president George W. Bush wore them. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler wore them. Your grandma wore them. They roared along with the economy, mocked by the fashion world but selling 100 million pairs in seven years.


Then the boom times went bust, and Crocs went to the back of the closet. Last year the company lost $185.1 million, slashed roughly 2,000 jobs and scrambled to find money to pay down millions in debt. Now it's stuck with a surplus of shoes, and its auditors have wondered if it can stay afloat. It has until the end of September to pay off its debt.

Man Fashion: Leggings for Men

To my surprise, men leggings have been a slow-burning trend. "Meggings" first turned up on overseas catwalks in 2007 - a lifetime ago in fashion years. Even before then, some of Hedi Slimane's leather pants for Dior looked more like leggings than pants. It was actually Slimane's obsession with men who looked like emaciated stick insects that spawned fashion's penchant for skinny-leg jeans and now leggings.


Among the fashion designers in 2009 Fashion collection, Givenchy and John Galliano were both designers who had designed their designs around with leggings.


So for those brave enough, you may want to embrace the latest fashion's craze this summer.

P&G and D&G = ??

High-End Cosmetics. Yes, you’ve gotta give ‘em credit for taking the risk, as Proctor & Gamble are indeed gambling during one of the toughest economic times in decades to venture into the luxury cosmetics market with Dolce & Gabbana.


This is not your or your mothers’ Max Factor or CoverGirl, as prices for “Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup” include $30 lipstick, $44 rouge and $59 foundation; the line is first available at Saks Fifth Avenue starting in April.

In fact, this is not the first time both parties partnering together. Back to 2006, P&G and Dolce & Gabbana had signed a contract to enter into a license agreement with Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l. The existing fragrance portfolio was marketed and distributed by P&G.


Just to differentiate and add to the line, they’re going to throw in some fragrances for men and women. Get ready for this launch!

Mens Clothing Store Close after Near 100 Years

The recent economy downturn really hit everyone badly, and I really mean that.
Even for mens clothing store that has been established nearly 100 years, also can't escape from it.

For three generations, it was a landmark in downtown Henderson.

It clothed farmers and businessmen. Boy Scouts got their uniforms and accessories there. Many youngsters got their first pair of Levi's there. For a while, it was Henderson's connection to British mod fashion.

Now, Bernstein's Men's Wear is a memory -- but a powerful one.


Its three patriarchs -- Ben, Sol and Jerry Bernstein -- were not only successful businessmen but vitally connected to the civic life of Henderson for nearly 100 years.
