The deal doesn’t have an end date, but considering how perfectly it encapsulates the ’90s trend happening right now - and given that trends inevitably die out - perhaps it’s wiser to enter an arrangement that allows for a graceful exit. It’s also familiarized shoppers with the various ways a brand can spring back to life after going under - American Apparel and Nasty Gal both sold their intellectual property during bankruptcy proceedings and were then relaunched under new ownership, for instance.Ī licensing contract, like the one Dolls Kill struck with the company that now owns the Delia’s name, offers yet another way to revive a brand. In recent years, this has become a common story: The so-called “ retail apocalypse” that started in 2017 resulted in numerous bankruptcies, including those of giants like Sears and Toys R Us. The following year, the brand’s intellectual property sold for $2.5 million to a subsidiary of HRSH Acquisitions, which bought Alloy from Delia’s for $3.7 million in 2013. Once enormously popular among teenage girls, Delia’s announced in 2014 that it was preparing for bankruptcy and planning to liquidate its assets. “We’re here to help you to unleash your ‘I don’t give a fuck,’” says Dolls Kill buying director Christina Ferrucci of the brand’s outlook, “and we felt like, in a friendlier way, that’s what Delia’s did in the ’90s.” Original Delia’s catalog looks and their 2018 remakes. Even the product photography has an old-school Delia’s vibe, with the models striking fun poses under a slightly warped, wide-angle lens. Visit irl 148 GRAND ST BROOKLYN 415 N FAIRFAX LOS ANGELES.
