"I am thrilled to be able to bring my designs and runway style to real women," said fashion designer Laura Poretzky of Abaete. "Working with Payless has been extremely rewarding, and it is exciting to see my designs in the storefronts of the nation's leading footwear retailer and soon to be worn by women across America."
Abaete for Payless is a limited-edition collection available beginning Sept. 6 exclusively in about 450 Payless stores nationwide and on Payless.com. Payless and Poretzky have extended their alliance and will work together to create Holiday '06 and Spring '07 Abaete for Payless Collections.
The Spring '07 collection will makes its debut at New York Fashion Week at Poretzky's Abaete show on Sept 14.
