^^ I'd say the skincare line just needs quality PR then, she doesn't need the strictness of being "HF" (that term irks me..) in order to branch out as a businesswoman.. the fashion industry does seem determined to make people believe anyone that's remotely associated with them has then their entire set of chances hanging from their ways.. thankfully it's been a while it's gone through extreme democratization, to the point that tiny little elitist archaic bubble isn't the only source of credibility anymore... and proof of this is that they're even taking in girls that did not need them.
And yes I sound hateful but after a few years I'm completely fed up with the obscene solemnity of circles within fashion.. and how delusional they are when it comes to their actual impact, when god knows they're the ones tagging along in most cases, and not the other way around as they continue to present themselves.
Thanks for the info, Balmain!
Totally agree with you MulletProof.
This "you need to have high fashion cred to make it" is so delusional and ignorant. That clique mentality needs to go because it's not true at all.
The general population doesn't know the difference. The general population assumes that Miranda did a lot of HF work somewhere along the lines but they don't really care because she's here, she's famous, period.
Kathy Ireland is actually the wealthiest model of all time with the biggest empire. Heidi Klum has practically no "high fashion" credentials and is constantly being criticized by Karl Lagerfeld. But Heidi has her empire and there are tons of designers who want to dress her now. Michael Kors respects her and he is a designer who turned her down back when she was a new model casting for Fashion Week. Fashion clique is irrelevant. She has power.
I don't see Miranda trying to make Kora Organics into the next Clarins per se. I see Miranda continuing her media relevance as some sort of lifestyle guru and fashionista like Gwyneth Paltrow but less strict. There's no way Kora would be sold at Walmart anyway because of the quality of the ingredients--it's not a cheap line. It's along the lines of Josie Maran cosmetics/Ole Henriksen/Jurlique.
I also personally know an executive at Neiman's/Bergdorf's who is very friendly with Miranda so to say that Kora would never be considered at a high end retailer like Bergdorf's is ignorant.
