kathy ireland Intimates & Sleepwear License
PPI Apparel Group first debuted the kathy ireland® Intimates & Sleepwear collection in Spring 2012. The two companies are now celebrating the $100 million sales benchmark. "We were thrilled to be awarded with the exclusive license for kathy ireland® Intimates & Sleepwear several years ago," says Mr. Hanan. "We knew then that a partnership with kiWW®, one of the most successful brands in the world, presented a tremendous and unique opportunity for our company. Our sales projections were doubled and we are now celebrating a major milestone. We are even more thrilled to be able to share this success with Kathy and her exceptionally talented team at kiWW®," he adds.
"Abe, Joey, and Mr. Morris Hanan are three of the most extraordinary leaders and executives we've ever met. The Hanan Family had the courage to return our brand to fashion after our success in the home industry," says Kathy, kiWW's CEO & Chief Designer who this year graced the cover of Forbes Magazine for the second time as one of America's 50 most successful self-made women. "Many, many years ago our apparel was sold at the discount channel. When we decided to reset apparel, after enormous success in home... all the king's horses and all the king's men said our apparel couldn't move forward... but the Hanan's obviously could. Their extraordinary design team, in concert with our Global Creative Director, are making miraculous things happen. We are outselling so many leading intimate apparel brands. Our on-trend design work, in-stock positioning and customer connection has more powerful results than expensive, ubiquitous advertising. Our sales and margins are excellent... and sales and margins are the bottom lines, after all. Aren't they? Congratulations Abe, Joey, Mr. Morris Hanan and every team member at PPI! We started as a business, and became a business family."

Do you remember the limited edition Ugg boots that had been available the last time a Star Wars movie premiered? Here is a reminder of the Limited Edition Star Wars Ugg collection (from when Episode VII The Force Awakens was in theaters).
This year it appears that Columbia Sportswear will be selling Rogue One limited-edition jackets. Working in tandem with Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media, the company has developed three styles of jackets inspired by “Rogue One” characters Sergeant Jyn Erso, Captain Cassian Andor and the Imperial Death Trooper.
Here is a brief description of the outerwear pictured above. From left to right.

Join the Rebel Alliance in their struggle against the Empire. This officially licensed, limited-edition jacket and vest set is inspired by Jyn Erso’s costume in the new film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Crafted of heavy cotton twill, the jacket features leather-like details on the sleeves. The quilted, insulated vest can be worn separately or on top of the jacket for your next mission in a galaxy far, far away…
Men's Captain Cassian Andor™ Rebel Parka:
Inspired by the costume worn by Captain Cassian Andor in the new film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this officially licensed, limited-edition parka is built to withstand the harshest conditions on an ice planet or here on Earth. The jacket features a faux fur hood, Omni-Heat™ Reflective to trap in warmth, Omni-Tech™ waterproof material to keep you dry.

The Imperial logo shows your allegiance.
The Star Wars Rogue One limited-edition jackets will be available starting December 9, 2016 online an in select stores. Learn more at www.columbia.com
A bit about the movie:
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction.
Jyn Erso, a Rebellion soldier and criminal, is about to experience her biggest challenge yet when Mon Mothma sets her out on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. With help from the Rebels, a master swordsman, and non-allied forces, Jyn will be in for something bigger than she thinks.

Impeccably crafted from rich leather, the short silhouette has been lined with natural cashmere wool and finished with our Treadlite by UGG™ sole for increased cushioning, traction, and durability.
Boots made with a luxury fiber are amazing. But how about putting on a cashmere tank top, jogger, and socks and then wrap yourself in a soft robe. Follow that up with by tossing a luxurious scarf around your neck and keeping your hands toasty with an amazing pair of gloves. Before you go out, obviously toss on your cashmere boots. OK, that might be going a bit overboard. But if you really wanted to you could dive head first into luxury from UGG Australia.
Treat your self well for holiday 2016. It's OK to shop for yourself if you think your loved ones will forget to shop for these items on your behalf.
