Picking Daisies

We all know about so-called celebrity designers. One day they’re busy promoting their collections and the next, they’re out of business. With the possible exception of Jessica Simpson most haven’t a clue.

Therefore when I was invited to celebrate Daisy Fuentes ten-year collaboration with Kohl’s. Daisy was Kohl’s very first exclusive brand and has become a match made in fashion heaven. Over the past decade the line has expanded from women’s apparel into petites, plus sizes, intimate apparel, jewelry, eyewear, accessories and home.

Viewing the fall/holiday collection I can see why the brand is so successful. Forget about prices (retail ranges from $18-$68), the clothes were very attractive and made well. I especially liked the ponte knit dresses in black or burgundy. Simple, chic and timeless.

Also terrific were Daisy’s knits. If I was younger I’d opt for a cable knit flared dress (very Alaia) available in teal or white. The complete collection will be in-store October/November in all Kohl’s stores nationwide.

Happy shopping, C&C.
