Not necessarily longevity (as in historical longevity), but a very forward-thinking brand strategy. The Kaiser already knows (no fool he) that the old market is dwindling and that much of his European and American client roster is teetering on the verge of old age. So he can add some material to those abbreviated skirts for the ladies who lunch and would like to look like seashells, but the BRIC teenagers can start coveting in anticipation. I wouldn't be surprised to see a juvenile bag line either. You recall that they did a huge roll-out of a Coco Mademoiselle fragrance ancillary back in the fall and brought bloggers over to Paris for promotional purposes. (I think it was a solid parfum in compact form, but I may be mistaken.)<BR/><BR/>This all has been very carefully strategized.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, it was like the junior department. Young Miss Chanel, the sophomore line.<BR/><BR/>Watch those purses and the cosmetics.<BR/><BR/>I saw the Mao reference applied to Raf Simons as well. The way he's constructed the collars and removed the buttons from his jackets. It's interesting to draw such analogies since they are so readily apparent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the mention! I've added you as a link.<BR/><BR/>:--)Suzanna Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608476858881481560noreply@blogger.com
