Pearl by Georgina Chapman/Marchesa for JC Penney

[lucy92]

In the spring of 2013, the company plans to revamp its home section by introducing the MarthaHome stores by Martha Stewart as well as shops by Jonathan Adler, Michael Graves, Bodum and Terence Conran.
Justin Timberlake’s William Rast, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa and Watchgear by Tourneau are also planned to launch in spring 2013. (bizjournal)


this is odd, anyone else surprised by this?

If Chanel can make watering cans,I guess it's not out of the ordinary for a fashion brand to launch into home goods.

sheer tablecloths covered with feathers and sequins for the masses?

 

[lucy92]

i don't think its a home line. i think its a clothing line.

 

[Urban Stylin]

strange match

 

[ChrissyM]

totally strange match... i would have thought macy's would have been a bit of a better fit..

or maybe a collaboration with neiman marcus...
i know neiman marcus doesn't do this sort of thing, but at least it would make more sense.

i highly doubt the jc penney customer has any idea what marchesa is or who georgina chapman is

I don't know, she was the judge on the last season of project runway: all stars plus the brand does get a lot of red carpet exposure, so who knows.

I'm just worried about how the quality will be, we all know how nice JC Pennys clothes look in person

lol marchesa clothes already look cheap when they're on sale at 10 thousand euros. i can only image what will come out of this

Along with matching embellished tulle curtains and georgette flower bedspreads in the latest colors of the season. Sounds like a deal!

So true.. It's a perfect fit. Finally something of Marchesa will actually be worth the price

why some brands decide to work with JC Penney and Target instead of H&M is beyond me...

 

[ParisFashionMuse]

JC Penny!? THIs is not a worllld store h&m would be the best market. doesnt make sense unless money talks

 

[Thefrenchy]

With the ridiculous amount of collaborations we get these days, the only one missing is a The Fashion Spot x H&M collaboration

i'm so curious about this... but i really can't imagine it being good

[Littleathquakes]
