Monday Afternoon Spree

• Rogan is next up on Target's roster of designer collaborations. How will this casualwear designer's style  work as lower priced adaptations of already laid back separates? (The Fashion Informer)
• Charles Jourdan, once an icon of sexy, French footwear thanks to Guy Bourdin's legendary racy ad campaigns, is being liquidated by the French courts. That may save us from the possibility of a"Kathy Hilton by Charles Jourdan" abomination collection. No kidding. (WWD)
• How could someone have screwed up a Repetto sample sale? (RACKED)
• European tourists are shopping like fiends thanks to the exchange rate. Even the Canadians are getting a bargain. The Canadians! (Wall Street Journal)
• Sales of women's clothing are down, a disturbing sign for retailers who rely on American customers. (NYTimes)
• Max Azria to add an Hervé Leger show to Bryant Park in February. That's a total of three big shows with his name on them in the Tents. Philip Lim will be moving to the tents as well, perhaps reversing the trend of designers distancing themselves from IMG's commercial complex.(Fashion Week Daily)
