Steve Madden, a leading designer and marketer of fashion footwear and accessories for women, men and children, announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Lucas Design International to design and market a women's fashion jewelry collection for the Steve Madden brand. The line is scheduled to launch in better department stores and specialty retailers as well as in Steve Madden stores and on stevemadden.com in Fall 2010.
Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Steve Madden, commented, "We look forward to working with the Lucas Design team to offer a jewelry collection that will reflect the Steve Madden design image. We believe that fashion jewelry represents a great complement to the portfolio of categories that carry the Steve Madden name and that Lucas Design's expertise in the fashion jewelry business makes them an excellent partner for this endeavor."
Daniel Landver, Chief Executive Officer of Lucas Design International, stated, "In today's challenging economy, very few products help a woman differentiate herself more than her accessories, particularly her shoes and jewelry. Lucas Design is very excited at the opportunity to create unique fashion jewelry for the Steve Madden customer."
