BCBG buys a not so great store?

Rave=disposable clothing. Wear once and throw away pretty much. I'd be curious to see how the makover would effect the clothing quality.

i don't understand this, especially since max azria is trying to re-vamp the bcbg line. he is/or was trying to make the collection line high end (he tried this with handbags and they don't sell), and that's why he dropped bcbg in front of the runway collection this year, i feel like buying a cheaper line will take the company a step in the opposite direction. plus, he already has parallel which is a cheaper line.

i really don't understand this, but it doesn't surprise me. max never listens to anyone's input. there's so many things that he needs to change (one being super expensive handbags that don't sell....hello, if women are paying $800 they want a gucci label, that's just the way society works)....also, he sold so many more shoes when they were $160 range, i think $300 for shoes is ridiculous (but i do notice that almost every brand has totally hiked up the prices in shoes in the last two years...it's getting ridiculous).

aghhh. i guess i could go on and on....

I think just about every mall has a Rave. The quality is disgusting. I used to like to go in there to find a cute top for going out in, and my sister refused to step foot in there with me! A lot of there clothes are pretty raunchy, as with most of their employees and customers. I can't ever imagine that store changing for the better.

I have never been to a Rave. There are none in my are that I know of.

I am curious to see the store.
