WWD.com is reporting that Beyoncé and Tina Knowles are planning to capitalize on the singer's alter ego and launch a junior apparel label in her name: Sasha Fierce for Deréon. The clothing line will be ready just in time for the back-to-school shopping season.
The collection, which is inspired by Beyoncé’s stage presence (she is on a world tour through November), includes a full range of sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry. Positioned to sit alongside the company’s Deréon junior label, which is similarly priced, the line has so far been picked up by department stores including Macy’s and Dillard’s and specialty stores Jimmy Jazz and Against All Odds.

Hot Spots Step into style at Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique
Posted By Aviva M. Cantor on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Looking for chic shoes at an affordable price? Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique in Blakeney is having a sale from July 2-6, including deals of up to 50 percent off regular prices on designer footwear, 25 percent off handbags, and an additional 20 percent off already reduced items. Spend $150 or more and earn $50 off your next purchase starting July 20.
Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique has been open since March of this year. The store carries Cocobelle, DKNY, Nicole, Butter, BCBG Max Azria, Ann Roth, Via Spiga, Taryn Rose, Juicy Couture, Beverly Feldman, and many other trendy designers.
Store owner Jennifer J. Keen describes Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique as a “new gem,” featuring a varied selection of shoes, handbags, and accessories. Many of the store’s shoes are Italian-made and Brazilian-made, and each pair has a unique personality. From flirty Beverly Feldman sandals to versatile BCBG Max Azria pumps, Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique has a shoe for every occasion. “Your handbag and shoes can make your outfit look like one million dollars,” says Keen.
“I have always had a passion for shoes,” says Keen, a Winston-Salem native who graduated with a degree in computer science from North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro. She dreamed of opening up her own shoe store while living in New York City. “It was something I believed in,” she says. Inspired by her “fashion heaven” surroundings, Keen opted to “bring that flavor and flair here to Charlotte” by following her passion and opening Seventy-Two Shoe Boutique.
One of her main concerns is making sure that the store’s assortment doesn’t overlap with department store or discount store styles. According to Keen, her store offers a “new spin” on footwear by embracing color and variety with an edge. Her advice to shoppers is simple: “Wear that yellow shoe and look fabulous!”

News Michael Jackson's 'Suit of Lights' glove for sale
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 10:07 AM
In October, one lucky Michael Jackson will win a bid for one of only two electric white gloves worn by the pop star on the Jacksons' 1984 Victory Tour during a sale by the Profiles in History auction house. And he or she will likely pay up to six figures to have it.
Over the years, he wore many gloves when he performed, of course, but the glove being sold by Profiles in History is one of only two made for Jackson's "Suit of Lights" on stage.Shell not only designed the glove, but he went on the Victory Tour to protect and maintain the glove. After the tour ended, Jackson gave him one glove and kept the other, according to Maddalena.
The glove is emblazoned with bugle beads, Austrian crystal rhinestones and fitted with 50 small lights powered by a small battery placed in the cuff of the glove.
