Karlie Kloss Takes St. Louis
Express brought a little bit of New York to St. Louis with a model
search and runway show featuring St. Louis native Karlie Kloss. Express
and Kloss selected the runway models via a contest where applicants
uploaded videos to Instagram, explaining how they live their best lives
and empower others to do the same. The campaign culminated with a
packed runway show at The Pageant.
Store Closure Roundup
E-commerce and other economic variables have had a huge impact on
shopping center traffic, leading to the closure of stores that have been
mall staples for decades. The Limited, BCBG and bebe are some of the
brands that announced closure of their bricks-and-mortar stores this
year. We are keeping an eye on flagship stores like Nordstrom, Sears,
Macy’s and J. C. Penney, which continue to report declining sales. On
the bright side, you can still get what you need online. We look forward
to positive fashion news in 2018.
