neutrocks Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well, at least she's embraced the "Material Girl" name, after years of denouncing it. Guess it's a can't-beat-em-join-em kinda thing. Actually, the M and G stand for Madonna and Guy since it's both their venture. And it sounds to me this is something that Madonna is probably doing to get Lourdes into the action since she has an interest in fashion. It may end up being Lourdes' company down the road. Anyway, she didn't become an astute business woman by just sticking to music. It's obvious to me the woman knows that music will always be part of her life, but as she gets older it won't be her bread winner, so it makes total sense to branch out to other interests. And just because she's had great success in music shouldn't mean she should stick to one thing. After all, none of us stick to one interest all our lives, so why would we expect Madonna to do the same?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually have any interest in her clothing endeavors or her kids books, but I admire her versatility and business acumen. Props to her, but I would love some news on the album some day.

I thought it was just a wannabe boutique area in the Macy's junior department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOUR2008 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Madden Close to Madonna Deal With Iconix, Macy’s Madden Close to Madonna Deal With Iconix, Macy’s by Katie Abel Posted Friday March 12, 2010 From Footwear News Add Note Multiple sources told Footwear News last week the company is teaming up with Iconix Brand Group Inc. and Macys Inc. to produce the shoes for Madonnas new Material Girl juniors line, set to launch exclusively at Macys in August. Last week, the superstar and Iconix announced the formation of a joint venture called MG Icon LLC. A number of projects are expected to bow as part of the partnership, with the Material Girl line hitting first. Footwear and accessories are going to be an essential part of the Material Girl collection, said Iconix CEO Neil Cole. Footwear is an easy way for juniors to change their look, and we are going to offer them a wide array of trend-right items that will fit into their style. For their part, analysts were upbeat on Iconixs newest partnership, even though they were unsure how much of an impact it would have in the near term. We believe this deal offers a number of positives for the company and is a somewhat risk-free way to increase its star power and drive upside, Eric Beder, SVP at Brean Murray, Carret & Co, wrote in a note. The analyst expects Iconix to continue to aggressively pursue acquisitions to maximize its over $200 million cash hoard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUR2008 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Iconix-Madonna Collaboration Announces Sunglass Line Article Email Printer Iconix Brand Group's (ICON) newly formed joint venture with Madonna and her manager Guy Oseary has announced its first collection of designer accessories, a sunglasses collection called MDG. The MDG line of sunglasses, which is set to debut in May, was designed by Madonna with the help of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. It is the first co-branded project Dolce & Gabbana have done. The sunglasses will retail from $248 to $289 and will be carried at Dolce & Gabbana stores worldwide, plus in Sunglass Huts and at some opticians. The joint venture, MG Icon LLC, is half owned by Iconix--a brand manager whose holdings include Candie's and Roca Wear. The other 50% is owned by an entity controlled by Madonna and Oseary. The collaboration was created earlier this month. Shares of Iconix closed Tuesday at $15.25 and were inactive premarket. The stock has risen 89% in the past year. -By Nathan Becker, Dow Jones Newswires; 212-416-2855; nathan.becker@dowjones.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 So does anybody know what the LLC stands for in MG Icon LLC I'm thinking Lourdes/Lola Leon-Ciccone? It's a standard business suffix. It means limited liquidity corporation. It's just a type of corporation that limits losses to its owners by having a separate tax ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afrolito Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Madonna debuts a new, fast-fashion junior collection exclusively at Macy's this August called "Material Girl," and the Material Mom tells ET that her daughter Lourdes serves as her muse for the collection! "I've used fashion to make statements through my work all my life and now I have a 13-year-old daughter who's obsessed with fashion, so it seems like the natural progression of my life," she says. "If you're a Material Girl, you're a girl with a sense of humor." The Material Girl collection consists of edgy apparel, footwear, handbags and jewelry, all inspired by music and much of Madonna's early fashions, with plenty of studs, layering and lace -- and even a bustier. "I trust [Lourdes] because she has great style," Madonna tells ET, adding that her daughter makes most of the decisions about the collection. "We rarely disagree when it comes to clothes, I have to say. That's why most of my closet is being raided on a regular basis." Watch ET Monday for more of Madonna's interview!
