I can't say if it is because of the economy.

agree with Rochell. don't think her PR spent enough energy to push the brand to the American consumer. Last time I checked her SOHO store it was completely empty, while H&M next door had girls stepping on each other to score a piece of sequin.

Agree with both of you. Designing has become rich & famous new "playground"

i think its because her fit models were off, anyone try those jeans ? I'm a 25 in denim and i coulden't even fit in any of the pants! my roomate is smaller than me and she couldent either! people arent going to buy if the product doesnt fit, she could do as much press as she wanted.
