Skineez compression shapewear garments contain a patented formula of anti-cellulite and moisturizing ingredients, including retinol, caffeine, red algae extract, shea butter, apricot kernel oil, rose hip oil and vitamin E. The combination of ingredients is meant to moisturize, firm, energize, lift, smooth, and tighten the skin as the garment is worn. These new Skineez products, which the company touts as “skincare that you wear,” will appear on HSN, July 15th and 16th. I imagine the HSN legal staff is double-checking all the product claims — there’s a host of them in the press release — but I sure hope the alliterative “Tummy Tuck Technology” passes muster.

In the midst of hard economic times, brands as diverse as Keds, Halston and Eddit Bauer are turning out heritage lines so consumers can assuage their anxiety by grabbing hold of something comforting and familiar. And some of those consumers are paying a premium for the privilege; L. L. Bean, for instance, charges about 25 percent more for its “Signature” pieces. Even cereal makers are getting in on the act. Earlier this year, General Mills sold Lucky Charms and Cheerios in limited-edition vintage boxes. The New York Times Jun. 11, 2010

Sure, the movie has been panned to smithereens even by fans of the original TV show, but SATC 2 does offer savvy viewers the chance to guess which uncredited designer created this piece of apparel or that piece of jewelry. Perhaps more important, according to Cynthia Sliwa, writing at JCK Online, the movie conveys several key marketing messages about jewelry — about its romance, its universal, cross-cultural appeal, and its ability to add one-of-a-kind distinctiveness to the wearer.
