Asos addresses accusations of poor factory conditionsAfter a series of allegations against Asos that shed light on poor working conditions in its U.K.-based warehouse, the British e-tailer is attempting to put the accusations to rest with a six-page statement that denies the claims. "I'm disappointed that inaccurate and misleading things have been said about how we manage our warehouse at Barnsley in Yorkshire," Asos CEO Nick Beighton wrote in a statement published on the brand's website. "I take huge exception to the idea that we are secretive and exploit our people. We have nothing to hide and much to be proud of." {Vogue UK}
Tamara Mellon re-launches labelAmerican designer Tamara Mellon is hitting the reset button on her eponymous label after filing for bankruptcy last year. This time around, she's doing things very differently: Her entire range of luxury footwear will be available exclusively direct-to-consumer on her website and will be sold at a more accessible price point than other luxury brands. (From the mainstay "Collection" channel, think $325 for flats and sandals, $350 for leather pumps and $975 for thigh-high boots.) Mellon will also continue to launch new styles throughout the year, eschewing the timeline of the traditional fashion calendar and, additionally, will offer a rotating capsule of more conceptual designs as part of her "Lab" channel.
Christopher Kane responds to putting Crocs on the runway

The designer is breaking his silence to address the mixed opinions from fashion media — and guess what? He really doesn't care what people think. "I don't think anyone's got the right to say right or wrong, unless they're God, otherwise just shut up," the designer told WWD. "I knew people were going to react in that way, but it wasn't about being controversial. Obviously people do like them, and that's a different customer that I want to grab. I want to include everyone and not be a snob.
