Well now that its cool to release your music freely i.e. Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails... It has made quite the statement. Funny seeing it from them though, really, I remember all their antics over music downloading/sharing and they may be saying its okay now, but I only believe that's thanks to other bands out there who had the balls to do it without discretion first.
So I work at one of the Kohl's here in Las Vegas and from what I've seen, her stuff is selling quite well. Even her jewelry line sold pretty much the same week we had gotten freight in. Kohl's does do the whole price drop thing, but that's normal for them. Her items aren't clearance yet, which would probably be the ultimate price slash and we do clearance probably around once a month, that's normal. We have all brands on clearance ranging from Vera Wang to Elle to the more less designer clothing like Sonoma. We did just have this huge back to school sale. Her line wasn't the only thing that was dropped in price. I'm not defending her or anything and I personally dislike the her clothes and jewelry. I'm just stating what I've seen happen at one of the Las Vegas stores.
Congrats on both accounts.
