Partnering with the Camuto Group allows NexCen to offer franchise owners inventory from the most prolific design, manufacturing and development resource in women's fashion footwear. Founded in 2001 by Vince Camuto, the co-founder and former CEO of the Nine West Group, Inc., the Camuto Group offers preeminent brands including Jessica Simpson, BCBG Max Azria, BCBGirls, Vince Camuto and Arturo Chiang.
Vince Camuto stated, "We are thrilled by our new partnership with NexCen. Their track record of building successful premium brands and growing them on a global basis makes NexCen a strong partner.
In addition, the opportunity to add Bill Blass to the stable of the Camuto Group brands is the perfect complement to our existing success and growth in the marketplace. Finally, The Shoe Box stores will be a perfect way to introduce the new Bill Blass line to the consumer."
The owner of The Shoe Box Inc, Richard Kirschenbaum, will become a partner in the joint venture and will also take on a consulting role with NexCen to assist in marketing the new franchise concept, merchandising and training franchise owners.
"We are delighted to be working with NexCen Brands, a world leader in footwear franchising, to grow our operation," commented Mr. Kirschenbaum. "NexCen and the Camuto Group are the ideal brand-building partners. From manufacturing to distribution, merchandising to marketing, they have the broadest depth of knowledge and expertise of any players in the industry."
