Dolly Parton To Have Lifestyle Line Including Fashion And Home Goods

Pearlee — Sat, 04 May 2019 14:42:04 GMT

From Page Six of today's NY Post. By the way, I think it's a little presumtuous to assume starting an "empire." Doesn't that depend upon its success or failure (the latter being quite possible)?

"[Dolly Parton] just signed her first exclusive global licensing deal with IMG, and will begin building a lifestyle empire.

According to Women's Wear Daily, the country legend plans to launch clothing, jewelry, accessories and home goods through the new multiyear deal. “I am excited to be working with IMG on a global scale to give my fans products that they will cherish for years to come. You might even see my mug on a mug,” the Grammy winner said in a statement to WWD."

I think there is a real market for her line. Lots of women I see like that sort of western/country/flash type of clothes and things.

There are hundreds of small town botique places in Oklahoma and all of them have exactly the same thing: rustic looking signs with sayings on them, pillows with things written, candle holders with fancy drops, that "country" style of clothing, decor, etc. etc.

Maybe she will bring something new and some affordable furniture that people would want. People buy that stuff that those shiplap people sell. . .

It must be targeting the over 80 year old customer who always wanted to be a cowgirl.

I'm not sure what her taste is, but it's probaby gaudy.

Do we really need another celebrity inspired line? LOL

@PearleeIs that "empire" from Dolly herself or from the Post writer? From her it would be presumtuous, from the writer it's just puff!

There are many square dancers out there. Perhaps some of her clothing items wll appeal to these folks, but it would seem unwise to limit her potential buyers to those who like country/western garb primarily.

Come to think of it, the taste of square dancers is as varied as people can be. The last ones I knew were an office colleague and his wife, and they took Rhine river cruises and that sort of thing.

Odd.

Seems like if she wanted to branch out,

she would’ve done it, oh...a zillion years ago.

Why now?

Seems like writing/producing/performing music would be

all consuming. Maybe teaming with her god-daughter for

the younger demographic? (Miley)

Yeah but THAT career woman retired 20 years ago and now she's buying beach pants from QVC.

That woman is like the energizer bunny!! She just goes and goes. She is business woman to the max. I think even she has admitted she just has so many ideas it boggles her mind. She is one talented, beautiful woman. She is full of humor and is generous to a fault, but not one to be taken on.

i dont know about the celebrity lines. I have never seen one celebrity line that was any good for long. They always scrimp, or sell to walmart or target. That is an okay stratagy, but not a lasting one. They say the one celebrity line that has continually made money and is actually premium quality is the lines from mary kate and ashley. But they do not self promote, go on tours. Etc. they are genuinely masters of their own product and highly involved in all phases. I think one of their lines The Row has won many awards. But it aint cheap, thats for sure

I'd like to see a bit of Country-Western styled shirts. Maybe even pants.

Wishing Dolly well.

I wonder if her fashion line will be like what's in the Dolly's Closet store at Dollywood. Reminds me of bling and flashy instead of country/western.

I love Dolly; she is so generous to those in need and asks for no recognition for it at all. I wish her well on her new business venture. Am sure she will not be designing anything, just putting her name on things she selects. If Jeff Foxworthy can have a furniture line, then Dolly should have no trouble selling clothing, etc.
