1/22/16 – This week in Native Fashion News:
REBECCA TAYLOR LAUNCHED ‘CAPSULE NAVAJO COLLECTION’, LATER CHANGES NAME
It looks like women’s clothing brand Rebecca Taylor missed the memo.
Popular women’s lifestyle website Racked published an article about how they received a press release promoting the new launch of Rebecca Taylor’s Pre-Spring Navajo collection.
According to Racked, a PR rep for the brand sent an email in hopes of being featured:
I wanted to be in touch as Rebecca created a capsule Navajo Collection for Pre-Spring and wanted to see if you were interested in possibly featuring. It looks really cute. Lookbook attached for you here. Rebecca was inspired by Artist Simon Beck’s snow art for this collection. Let me know your thoughts when you have a quick second.
