Alice + Olivia Designs For Keds

WWD reports that Alice + Olivia is designing a limited edition line of sneakers for Keds.
Alice + Olivia founder Stacey Bendet created a version of Keds' classic Champion style inspired by her spring collection. Available in four colors -- black, silver, pale pink and safari green -- each slip-on shoe is adorned with colored sequins and retails for $88.

"I don't think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid," Bendet said. "I can't even count how many pairs I had. We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion."

*****

The Alice + Olivia collaboration is the first step Keds is taking in repositioning itself as a modern, fashion-forward brand. It plans to partner with other designers and artists who "can bring their own unique vision and creativity to the iconic Champion silhouette," said Keds president Kristen Kohler Burrows.
The shoes are adorable and are just perfect for summer. The line will be called Alice + Olivia for Keds and will be sold at Neiman Marcus this spring. Later on, the line will be available at other retailers and at aliceandolivia.com.

Bloomingdales Opens Two Stores in Dubai

Bloomingdales is opening two stores in Dubai today. Both are located in the Mall of Dubai. One 146,000-square-foot store features men's and women's clothing and accessories. The other will sell home furnishings in a smaller, a 54,000-square-foot space. Bloomingdale's licensed the stores to Al Tayer Group LLC, which is the premiere luxury retailer and distributor in the area. WWD reports:
"This was a total collaboration, but there is nothing in the stores, from a creative point of view, that Bloomingdale's did not approve," said Michael Gould, chairman and chief executive officer. "What Bloomingdale's stands for is going to be embraced by Dubai." Gould and his team will be keeping close tabs on the Dubai stores, located in The Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping centers. "We envision a monthly communication -- at least," he said.

*****

"The stores are inspired by 59th Street, with Arabian influences tenderly cushioned throughout. There is a modern, contemporary feel to these stores," said Shireen El Khatib, ceo of Al Tayer Insignia, the luxury arm of the Al Tayer Group. "We have insured that the Dubai Bloomingdale's stores will encapsulate a world-class retail experience including the best international brands, a contemporary store ambience and excellence in customer service."
Pictured above is the 9,000 square foot shoe salon, which is the biggest shoe salon in the region, according to the Gulf News.

Foot Locker Plans to Close 117 Stores

Footlocker StoreThe Wall Street Journal is reporting that Foot Locker, Inc. will close 117 stores. The WSJ says this wil make it 190 Foot Locker stores closed for the past fiscal year. The company is also cutting 120 jobs.
The closures, affecting mostly Foot Locker and Lady Foot Locker outlets in the U.S., would bring to 190 the number of shutterings for the fiscal year ending Jan. 30. The company had 3,601 stores as of Oct. 31.

Aside from the economic downturn, the athletic apparel and footwear chain has been hurt by a longer-running fashion shift toward casual shoes and away from sneakers. Foot Locker has reacted by lowering costs, closing stores and weeding out poorly performing products.
Foot Locker's store closing plan is part of an overall plan to merge the Lady Foot Locker chain with the retailer's other brands: Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker and Footaction.

Stuart Weitzman Won't Design Million Dollar Shoe for Oscars

Stuart Weitzman has decided not to design a Million Dollar shoe for the Oscars in March, 2010 because of the recession. Stuart Wietzman told the New York Post, "There will be no Million Dollar shoe for the Oscars this year. With so many people struggling financially, and unemployment at 10 percent, I don't think it is appropriate. The actresses still want to go for glamour, but this year it will be more understated."

Survey: Women More Likely to Remember First Shoe Purchase Than First Kiss

A new survey says that women are more likely to remember the first pair of shoes they bought than the name of the person they first kissed. 92% of those surveyed recalled their first shoe purchase, but less than two in three recalled the name of the person they first kissed.
An overwhelming 96 per cent of women said they regretted having thrown away a pair of shoes, while only 15 per cent felt sorry at dumping a boyfriend. More than 1,000 women were questioned about their feelings towards their footwear and what they could remember about their shoes compared to their relationship memories. Experts said the reasons behind women's fondness for footwear were down to their shoe buying habits. Many women buy a new pair of shoes for a special occasion, like a wedding, birthday or special party. And much to their partner's annoyance, many women hang on old shoes, building up a sizeable collection by middle age, even if many go unworn most of the time.

*****

Glendon Lloyd, director of website tszuji.co.uk, which commissioned the survey, said: "These results show that women are even more attached to their footwear than previously thought. "People always think of women storing old love letters in a shoebox, but in many cases, the shoes themselves are even more precious."
We have no idea what kind of sampling method was used or how accurate the survey results are, but based on our own wildly unscientific mini-poll, it could be right. There's something about shelling out your own money for your first major shoe purchase that sticks with a girl over the years. As for what's his name...
