Department store JCPenney recently announced they would be delving into the world of designer collaborations by launching a series of limited-edition capsule collections.
First up will be a collaboration with Nigerian-born, London-based designer Duro Olowu, who is known for his use of bold patterns and bright colors. Olowu’s collection will include women’s clothes, shoes, and accessories, as well home accessories and luggage. All items will be priced between $10 and $100.
Duro Olowu for JCP is set to launch online and at JCPenney stores nationwide starting in March 2013.

I love JCPenney, the clothes always fit this petite, curvy girl well. I hope this is good

this is really interesting , Debenhams here in the UK has been doing collaborations with designers for a while and does really well for them, I love Duro Olowu patterns and will certainly be taking a look next time Im in the U.S

I hope this goes well, because I haven’t stepped foot in a JCP store in a while and I miss their reasonable prices haha. I also like this new reinvention stage that they’re going through.

JC Penney already has a handful of standing designer collaborations: I Heart Ronson, ABS by Allen Schwartz and one or two others.
I am excited about this one, though!
