Idol signs on with SKECHERS

SKECHERS USA, Inc. has signed 2008 American Idol winner David Cook to a global endorsement agreement.

This deal marks the first male celebrity to make SKECHERS’ roster since 2002 (actor Robert Downey Jr. was the first male face of the global brand).

With exclusive worldwide rights to advertise footwear using Cooks image through December 2009, SKECHERS will feature the 25-year-old singer in various SKECHERS styles through a campaign they say will reflect his personality, interests and appeal.

The campaign launches Fall 08 to coincide with the PopTarts American Idols Live! Tour 2008, and the debut of Davids first post-Idol album on 19 Recordings/RCA Records.

The SKECHERS Cook campaign will include print, outdoor and in-store ads.

 

Let’s hope this goes well for David.

Steve and Barry’s Bankrupt?

Steve & Barry’s LLC has announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Wednesday.

We haven’t yet figured out what this means for the millions of consumers who probably flood their stores in search of easy-on-the-pocket clothing.

Will prices go up?

Will some of the designers and lines like SJP’s Bitten be dropped?

Will they forgo plans to add Ciara to the celeb designer lineup?

Will some of the stores be closed down?

Who knows…

We’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile Steve and Barry’s has released a statement assuring customers that its 276 retail locations are open today and conducting business as usual.
