I saw Oprah yesterday and i really think she has some cute pieces, nothing special, but cute and affordable, that's nice
the garments that we have seen so far look nothing like the clothes SJP's audience are used to seeing her in.
there is nothing new about the garments themselves. they are not cut differently than any items that we might see at old navy.
the propriator of the budgetfashionista.com has reported that steve and barrys employees are posting positive things about the line in the comments section of her entries about the line. i find that telling.
i just looked back and saw the pics from the Oprah show....
an boy- what a disaster!...
bad bad bad casting!!!...
they should NOT be pretending that someone's 60 year old grandmother could wear this stuff....
that is very bad marketing...
the website images i just posted above are much more on target...
they seem to be having some sort of identity crisis or stylist crisis or pr crisis or something...
i hope they pull that together...
oy!...
SJP: Madonna’s line for H&M is extremely directional, provocative and sexy. I don’t know J.Lo’s line as well, but I know that it’s much more trendy than Bitten. L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani is much more avant-garde, definitely high fashion. But I don’t want to do that for women, because that’s not really their lives. Bitten is simple silhouettes that are affordable. You’re going to be able to buy $200 worth of clothes, leave that store with six bags and be able to pay your utilities and take your kids someplace special for their birthday. It’s a very different philosophy about shopping. It’s the first and only time I’ve wanted to design. When I first heard about Steve & Barry’s Starbury shoe, I burst into tears.
BM: That’s the sneaker Knicks star Stephon Marbury designed and wears when he plays.
SJP: The idea that you can give a kid a well-made basketball shoe for under $20 that a pro is actually wearing on the court is so wonderful. And I thought, my God! You know, we have an opportunity.
