#BetseyJohnson is ready for a new chapter.

On Thursday, it was revealed that Betsey Johnson LLC has filed Chapter 11 and, as a result, the bulk of the designer’s boutiques will close and about 350 staffers are expected to lose their jobs.

Betsey Johnson LLC is the licensee that operates the designer’s 63 freestanding stores, women’s apparel and e-commerce. It is run by Castanea Partners, the Boston-based private equity firm that bought a controlling interest in the company in 2007.

Johnson said, “I feel so sad for my store people and all my pink girls. They live and die for me. But I need to be better. I really need to work well and be more efficient.”  Subscription Required For More

#Kiehl’s Testing Entry Into #Fragrance

Kiehl’s is giving the fragrance business the smell test with its new Aromatic Blends line, due in July.

“It’s an unexpected category for Kiehl’s, but it actually was inspired by our company heritage,” said Chris Salgardo, president of Kiehl’s USA.

Fragrance was part of the original Kiehl’s pharmacy upon its 1851 opening, when the retailer sold such concoctions as Money Drawing Oil, Attraction Oil and Purity Oil, he noted, and at one point the pharmacy sold 122 hand-blended essences, including the first commercially sold musk.
