A “fashion bug†is a person who places a lot of emphasis on fashion and is always sure to follow the latest trends. Although the term seems somewhat dated, a more modern interpretation could translate to the term “fashionista,†but that term tends to evoke an image of a fashionable woman who is chic and sophisticated.
Lane Bryant, Inc., is
the largest plus-size retailer in the United States. As of 2013, the chain consists of 812 stores in 46 U.S. states (only Alaska, Hawaii, Montana and Wyoming do not have Lane Bryant stores).

On Monday, RTW Retailwinds, the parent company of New York & Company, Fashion to Figure, and Happy x Nature stores, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The firm cited the challenging brick-and-mortar retail environment combined with the effects of COVID-19 store closures as major factors impacting the decision.
The stores to be closed operate under the trade names of Petrie's, Jean Nicole, Marianne, Stuarts, Three Sisters, Hartfield's, Cristina and Diane Marco. Gordon Brothers said liquidation sales at the stores started Friday, with all merchandise marked down. The sales will continue until everything is sold.
Perhaps the brand was already in financial trouble. Six years later, in 2001, Contempo Casuals disappeared from America's malls when all of its remaining stores were converted into Wet Seals and Arden B (which are also now defunct).

More than 150 Lane Bryant stores, including 52 of the plus-size brand's outlet stores, are expected to permanently close as part of parent company Ascena Retail Group's bankruptcy. In 2019, Ascena closed its nearly 650 Dressbarn stores, which now operate as an online-only business under new ownership.
It is issued by CSCG, Inc., and its value may be applied toward any merchandise purchase at Lane Bryant, Catherines, Lane Bryant Outlet, or Cacique stores or at LaneBryant.com, Catherines.com, or Cacique.com. This gift card may not be redeemed for cash unless otherwise required by law.
Ascena Retail Group plans to sell Catherines to FULLBEAUTY Brands for $40.8 million, according to a bankruptcy court filing. FullBeauty's winning bid is more than twice the original $16 million offer initially placed by City Chic Collective.
