VINCE launches Kid’s Collection
Vince (NYSE:VNCE), a leading contemporary fashion brand, debuts its first kids collection for Fall 2014 with Tawil Associates, the company’s second licensing partner. This launch is another benchmark for Vince as the company evolves into a global lifestyle brand, becoming a destination for women’s, men’s and children’s apparel and accessories.
Jill Granoff, CEO of Vince states, “We are thrilled to expand Vince into childrenswear, and offer our customers cool kids clothes that embody the Vince brand DNA. Tawil has done a great job translating Vince ready-to-wear to the world of kids and we are delighted to take this next step forward as we evolve Vince into being a global lifestyle brand.”
The Vince Kids line displays a cool, modern aesthetic and is reflective of the brand’s relaxed yet sophisticated approach to fashion. Signature styles include Vince’s best-selling cashmere sweaters as well as the Scuba Leather Jacket and Jogger Pant for girls, and the Waffle Knit Hoodie and 3-in-1 Jacket for boys.
Designed for children ages 4 to 14, the collection features classic pieces for everyday effortless dressing. A palette of heather grey and coastal navy is offset by notes of fuchsia, imperial purple, raspberry and horizon blue with pops of winter white. For girls, the Dip Dye V-Neck and Side Split Crew Neck Sweater with contrast stripe detail are classic yet striking pieces; the Faux Fur Vest is a luxe topper. For boys, the Dobby Button Down pairs well with classic denim topped with the Birds-Eye Beanie and Scarf.
Rebecca Damavandi, Group President of Global Business Development at Vince says, “The launch of Vince Kids is not only a natural extension of our brand, but is also the result of high demand from our retail partners and core customer base. In executing the collection it was vital for us to ensure that the product would uphold the same design aesthetic as our existing RTW lines, with equal attention to detail, quality, comfort and style to deliver the everyday luxury essentials that Vince has become known for.”
Beginning June 2014, Vince Kids will be available at national retailers including Barney’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom as well as select Vince retail locations and at Vince.com.

Too Cool and For A Good Cause @BangsShoes
The BANGS Shoes Story from BANGS Shoes on Vimeo.
Hannah Davis, founder of BANGS shoes discovered a pair of old-school Chinese work shoes while teaching English in China, which inspired the creation of BANGS Shoes. BANGS comes from the Chinese character for the word “help,” which is spelled b-a-n-g. When you purchase a pair of BANGS, you’re rocking sweet kicks while joining a mission of helping people help themselves.
BANGS Shoes partners with an amazing organization called Kiva, a non-profit organization, and represents a movement toward giving people tools and training to stand on their own two feet. BANGS are uniquely simple, funky and fun – and for men and women! BANGS Shoes are classic yet trendy, with monochromatic styling as a signature.
We love our Red BANGS because they’re aggressive, edgy, but still refined. Whether you need some kicks that stand out on the way to class or you’re hitting the half-pipe, these have you covered. The best part about these shoes is 20% of net profits go towards helping people help themselves.So what are you waiting for? Grab a pair of red BANGS and start making a difference in style. -
