Let me first say, I don't think I've ever seen a more vague website than the one owned by Kellwood Company. It's so void of information about the ownership, one can only wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. Why so secretive?Anyway, as we get closer and closer to the holiday season, it's important that you know not only that Kellwood "designs manufactures and markets a growing collection of premier fashion brands". It's also important that you know what those brands are. As of this date, on their website, they claim ownership of (in this order on the site):
Vince
Baby Phat
Jolt
Sag Harbor
Briggs NY
My Michelle
XOXO
David Meister
Fundinguniverse.com has a great deal more information about Kellwood, including how the company got its start, but this at Bloomberg Business Week has a more well-rounded cache of information, so check that out too. Bottom line? They're huge and they most definitely knew that handling the dismissal of Kimora Lee Simmons in this manner was inappropriate. --Sugar
