Ivanka Trump's fashion brand closes shop - Duration: 3:01.

Ivanka Trump is closing shop on her eponymous fashion brand. The first daughter and White House adviser cited her current role in Washington as a factor in her decision to end the business venture now

"After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners," Trump said in a statement

Trump took a leave from actively leading the women's clothing and accessories line, which she launched back in 2014 when she came to the White House to serve in her father's administration last year

While company president Abigail Klem insisted in a statement that the company has seen strong sales even though the last year, Trump's business had become a lightning rod for critics of her father's administration

The company came under media scrutiny over labor practices employed by the company, with reports that workers in foreign factories where the Ivanka line was produced struggled to make a living wage

"We are incredibly proud of the brand we have built and the content and product we've developed for our customers

Our platform has become an indispensable resource for our loyal community of women

We've seen strong sales since the brand's inception, which continued through this year with the successful launch of our rapidly growing e-commerce business," Klem said in a statement, adding that she knew it was a "very difficult decision for Ivanka" to end the venture

Last year, major department stores Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus said they would no longer carry Trump's collection, citing the brand's performance in their stores

After Nordstrom dropped the brand, President Trump took to Twitter to blast the company for the decision, saying his daughter had been treated unfairly

Ivanka Trump Was Upset Over Decision to Shutter Namesake Fashion Brand, Source Says: 'She Was Proud - Duration: 4:11.

 Although Ivanka Trump announced today that she is officially shutting down her namesake fashion and accessories brand, the decision apparently wasn't an easy one

 A year and a half into her father's presidency, Trump "recognized that where her focus is now is on her work in Washington," a source close to Trump tells PEOPLE

"She realized that this was the most practical path forward."  Trump stepped away from the company in an official capacity when she went to work as a special counselor to her father in Washington, D

C., but until now, the label had remained in business with her name attached to it

Trump has received criticism for profiting off of her position, as well as for publicly championing American-made products while her own line is made in China

(She recently received seven new Chinese trademarks for the label at the same time her father promised to save jobs at ZTE, a major Chinese telecommunications company

)  Even before President Trump's election, Ivanka's line was boycotted by many shoppers via the grassroots #GrabYourWallets campaign, which was a direct response to the Access Hollywood tape in which Trump boasted about groping women

The line has also been pulled from department stores like Nordstrom and Canadian-owned Hudson's Bay, which officially dropped the line last week

 "As part of our regular course of business, we review our merchandise offerings and make appropriate changes," Hudson's Bay said in a statement, obtained by the Washington Post

 The source says that the company was "still profitable" in its final days. (According to fashion website Racked, Ivanka Trump sales sharply declined in 2017, from 228 percent growth in March to negative-one percent in September

However a spokesperson for the Ivanka Trump brand says the decision to close "has nothing to do with the performance of the brand

")  "It was a very emotional decision for her to fold the brand," the source adds

"Obviously she has been very involved in her brand and she cares a lot about it. She was very proud of it

"  Ivanka's decision ultimately "speaks to the fact that she plans to remain in Washington, and there is no timeline for her to return to the business," says the source, echoing the statement she herself put out today

 "After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners," Trump said in her official statement announcing the label's closing

 Ethics requirements placed on the company due to Ivanka's position also became "extremely limiting," adds the source, who added that "They had to pass on a lot of opportunities in order to be cautious about ethics concerns

Ivanka Trump Forced To Close Fashion Brand 18 Months After Her Father Took Office - Breaking News 24 - Duration: 3:09.

Ivanka Trump is shutting down her namesake fashion brand, it was announced on July 24, after potential conflicts of interest became too complicated for the White House Advisor

   Ivanka Trump, 36, daughter of President Donald Trump, 72, launched her fashion brand in 2011, but since her dad became the commander in chief, things started getting a bit hairy

She announced she would be shutting down the company on July 24. "After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington

So making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners," Ivanka said, according to the The Wall Street Journal

   Ivanka separated herself from being the head of the company in the spring of 2017, but was still an owner through a trust

Ivanka wore her own brand during her father's presidential campaign and once she was in the White House as an advisor, theoretically making money with each Instagram post she shared

Sales did rise in 2016, but after her father assumed office, some brands like Nordstrom stopped selling her line, while Neiman Marcus Group and T

J. Maxx "scaled back," reported the WSJ. In fact, just last week, on July 13, Hudson's Bay Company pulled the line from its websites

The group owns stores like Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue and cited declining sales

Perhaps that was the final straw? Ivanka Trump's store within Trump Tower in NYC  Of course, with manufacturing and oversees trading, you can assume how this might not work for a government employee

 Abigail Klem, who took over as president when Ivanka stepped aside in 2017, told WSJ that she was "incredibly proud" of the brand they had built

"I know that this was a very difficult decision for Ivanka and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have led such a talented and committed team

 Apparel sales at the brand, which Ms. Trump launched in its current form in 2014, soared in the year of the 2016 presidential election

But the company also became a lightning rod for critics of her father's policies, with one anti-Trump group last year urging shoppers to boycott stores selling Trump-branded goods

Retailers including Nordstrom Inc. and Hudson's Bay have stopped selling Ivanka Trump products in the past 18 months, citing their performance

 Abigail Klem, who took over as president of the brand last spring, informed its 18 employees Tuesday that the company would be shutting down

Ms. Trump is set to address the staff later in the day.  Ms. Trump had contemplated the move in recent months as she grew frustrated by the restrictions she placed on the company, IT Collection LLC, to avoid possible conflicts of interest while serving in the White House

✅ Ivanka Trump is closing her controversial namesake fashion brand - Duration: 4:00.

First daughter Ivanka Trump has shuttered her namesake clothing brand "ASAP" and layoffs have begun more than one year after she distanced herself from the brand

"When we first started this brand no one could have predicted the success that we would achieve" Trump said in a statement according to The Hollywood Reporter

"After 17 months in Washington I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners

"Company president Abigail Klem added "We are incredibly proud of the brand we have built and the content and product we've developed for our customers

Our platform has become an indispensable resource for our loyal community of women.We've seen strong sales since the brand's inception which continued through this year with the successful launch of our rapidly growing e-commerce business

""It's just never recovered since she stepped away from the company" a source told Page Six of the company Trump launched in 2007

Market Watch also reported that Klem broke the news to her 18 employees Tuesday while Trump herself is expected to speak to the staff

Since Trump accepted her role as assistant to the president her fashion brand has been under attack. Per theWall Street Journal she often showcases her own designs (for example between March and October 2017 she wore her brand in 46 of 68 photos posted to social media) and was often accused of being a "walking billboard

"As Guian McKee Ph.D. a professor of presidential studies at the University of Virginiatold theJournal"Ivanka Trump is testing the boundaries on federal rules that bar government employees from using their position to promote brands that personally enrich them

"The clothing brand wascategorized as unpatriotic for not making the majority of its clothes in Americaand for using a Chinese factory that severely underpaid its workers only offering them about $60 a week

As NBC News reports the unnamed factory produces multiple fashion brands not limited to that of Trump.Social media was also upset that the brand did not offer maternity leave to its employees as alleged by former worker Marissa Velex Kraxberger in a 2016 Facebook post

Klem has since clarified that the brand has offered maternity leave since 2017 saying the "business was new" duringVelex Kraxberger's tenure

In 2017 counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway was admonished for promoting Trump's brand on television — and possibly violating rules set by the— telling Fox & Friends "It's a wonderful line

I own some of it. I fully — I'm going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today everybody. You can find it online." According to Politico Conway had "been counseled on that subject and that's it

"Trump's brand also landed on the #GrabYourWallet list a movement aimed at discouraging business for companies affiliated with the first family

Due in part to the list Trump's clothing has been pulled from various department stores such asNeiman Marcus Jet.comNordstromDSW and most recently Canadian storeHudson's Bay

Ivanka Trump, US President Donald Trump's oldest daughter and close adviser,  is winding up her lucrative her fashion business to focus on an "indefinite" career in politics

Perspective | Ivanka Trump's fashion lie is finished - Duration: 6:37.

Ivanka Trump arrives at a "Pledge to America's Workers" event in the East Room of the White House in July

Her fashion brand, which is manufactured abroad, is shutting down. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) by Robin Givhan July 24 at 5:35 PM Email the author The Ivanka Trump fashion brand is shutting down

Its death was pronounced Tuesday afternoon. In the past two years, the brand has been pummeled for business practices at odds with its namesake's political rhetoric

 Employees will lose their jobs. Ivanka Trump, the woman, will focus on her work in Washington

Partisan politics will roar on. The fashion world will survive. The womenswear brand, founded in 2011, was built around the public persona of Ivanka: the tall, blonde corporate executive with the famous last name, a mother of three with a lifestyle glamorously — no, adorably — curated for Instagram

The label was aimed at young, white-collar working women, and so the collections were filled with sheath dresses, simple silhouettes in feminine floral prints and office-ready shoes

There was nothing particularly unique about the products. Indeed, the company was accused of knocking off other brands

But there was nothing wrong with the clothes, either. And that, along with the price and the marketing, was what made them sell

The company aimed to dress a group of women that much of Seventh Avenue has shunned, because designers like to make clothes for daring hipsters and wealthy CEOs

The on-a-budget middle goes wanting. The Ivanka Trump fashion brand catered to managers, bureaucrats, assistants, junior executives and the like

For about $150, a woman could buy a perfectly appropriate work dress that made her look a little bit stylish

It gave her an alternative to the Ann Taylor ghetto, a break from the self-consciously trendy J

Crew, a reprieve from mass-market bland. The Ivanka Trump label sold a narrative focused on professional glamour and mothers who have it all — preferably in an Upper East Side co-op

The story it told was of an idealized working woman whose light and airy home was always filled with fresh peonies and hydrangeas and whose daily schedule was a color-coded symphony of organization: morning run, board meeting, parent-teacher conference, date night

The brand was Ivanka. Or at least the flawlessly coifed version of herself that she presented to the world

The modestly priced Ivanka Trump brand was aimed at young, working women. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) The gloss peeled away when Ivanka, the daughter, came to Washington as an adviser to her father, the president, who said he wanted to put America first and who touted the importance of manufacturing in the United States

Because her brand was no mere vanity project, and making money was the point, her name was licensed to manufacturers, who did the work overseas, where labor was cheap

Business wasn't pretty, but it was profitable. In 2017, she published a book offering women advice on how to be their own best advocates and fight for their interests in the workplace, while the company that bore her name failed to offer the kind of work-life benefits that her book was telling women that they deserved

[Ivanka's advice for working women who already have it pretty good] Politics, with all of its hot air and bluster, made Ivanka Trump a walking contradiction

By extension it made her company's sins plain.  Shoppers boycotted it. Social media trolls attacked it

Department stores dropped the brand. In truth, none of these business practices are especially unusual in the fashion industry, even if they have increasingly been recognized as flawed, unsustainable and even immoral

Consumers are also skilled at ignoring fashion's dark underbelly when it benefits them

Most sneakers are manufactured overseas. Fast fashion thrives on depressed wages

Landfills are stuffed with our castoffs. What made the ire over the this brand notable is not the nature of its business practices

It was the hypocrisy that outraged critics. Still, there's plenty of that in fashion, too

An awful lot of brands that exploit Americana are manufactured overseas. Plenty of brands are accused of copying

But only the Ivanka Trump brand has Ivanka. [Ivanka, Inc.: How the practices of the first daughter's fashion line collide with political principles] Intertwined with the fashion narrative of tasteful work attire, accessible pricing and woman-friendly rhetoric was the political story line

She was supposed to be the gleaming beacon for women in the new administration, the voice of the family, the Trump-whisperer

It's hard to say which made people angrier: the fashion company that shunned American workers or the company's founder who disappointed a contingent of American voters

Ultimately, the two grievances became one. And a fashion lie became a political one

Ivanka Trump will focus on her work in Washington. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)

Ivanka Trump Shuts Down Fashion Brand; Firm Cites Limitations From Ethics Rules - Duration: 5:01.

Ivanka Trump Shuts Down Fashion Brand; Firm Cites Limitations From Ethics Rules

Ivanka Trump is closing her fashion company, saying her commitments in helping her father in Washington — and the limits imposed on her business as a result — have left her with no other option.

"After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business," Ivanka Trump said in a statement, "but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.

The move comes after Trump faced scrutiny for her commercial enterprises as she joined her father to work as a senior adviser in the White House.

Questions of potentially preferential treatment were raised after China granted more than a dozen trademarks to Trump's company.

Chinese officials said there was nothing improper with the government handled the trademark applications.

The fashion and clothing brand generated at least $5 million for Trump via the trust she formed to control it last year, according to documents that the White House released in June.

Taken together, Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, reported earnings of at least $82 million in 2017.

Confirming the shutdown, the company released a statement saying, "This decision has nothing to do with the performance of the brand and is based solely on Ivanka's decision to remain in Washington indefinitely.

The company also cited the "strict limitations on the business" that were put in place when Trump resigned to take up a job in the government.

The original business had been structured around growth, the company said, adding that the restrictions placed on it due to ethics rules "limited the brand's ability to grow — both domestically and abroad.

Abigail Klem, president of the Ivanka Trump brand, called its closure "a very difficult decision for Ivanka.

Critics had questioned several instances when Trump's role in her father's administration was seen overlapping with the business that bore her name.

After she appeared on 60 Minutes with President Trump, for instance, the company pushed out an ad for the expensive bracelet she had worn during the segment.

And less than two weeks into the administration taking office, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Fox News, "Go buy Ivanka's stuff.".

Existing Ivanka Trump products will continue to be sold under existing licensing contracts that have put the company's wares on shelves at stores such as Lord & Taylor, Dillard's and Bloomingdale's, and online at Zappos, Amazon and other sites.

Ivanka Trump first ventured into the fashion business in 2007, when she started selling a line of jewelry.

She launched her brand in its current form in 2014.

Soon afterward, the company added footwear and handbags, before expanding into areas from denim and activewear to baby bedding products.

The number of full-time employees at the Ivanka Trump brand wasn't included in a news release about the closure.

The company's website currently lists a staff of 12.

In her statement about winding down the company, Trump added, "While we will not continue our mission together, I know that each of them will thrive in their next chapter.

O SPFW, que contou com show de Anitta na edição passada, costumava revezar suas edições entre o pavilhão da Bienal, no parque do Ibirapuera, e o Parque Villa-Lobos e agora anuncia que agora passa a acontecer num galpão industrial no bairro Vila Leopoldina

Chamado ARCA, o imóvel de 9 mil m² passa a receber o evento, pelo menos até 2020

"Com Alma para se reinventar constantemente em direção ao futuro que queremos, o SPFW, que apresenta coleções dos principais estilistas brasileiros, se lança a partir desta edição ao desafio de ocupar novos territórios em São Paulo, Vila Leopoldina – espaço ARCA, novo eixo de fomento à inovação, tecnologia, transformação e economia criativa, ressignificando o espaço principal do evento", anunciou Paulo Borges, criador do evento, em texto anunciado como sua primeira coluna para o FFW, site oficial do SPFW

  Ingressos vendidos para programações paralelas  Em uma guinada também em seu formato, o SPFW anuncia ainda que desfiles de moda continuarão tendo entrada destinada somente a convidados, porém haverá programações paralelas no evento, que incluem workshops e mesas de debate, cuja entrada terá ingresso vendido

A cobrança de ingressos na semana de moda de SP é algo inédito. Antes, mesmo a entrada nos pavilhões principais era restrita a quem ganhava convite

  Evento tinha tido parte vendida a grupo árabe  Sob o comando do empresário Paulo Borges (da Luminosidade, braço do grupo Inbrands, que está por trás de marcas como a Ellus e a Richards) o São Paulo Fashion Week, que foi palco de gravação de novela em sua última edição, teve 51% foi vendido, em abril deste ano, para a empresa IMM Participações, propriedade do fundo de investimentos árabe Mubadala Development Company, com sede em Abu Dhabi e detentora de parte de eventos como o Rock in Rio, Cirque du Soleil e Rio Open

Esta foi considerada a maior guinada do evento desde a sua criação, há 23 anos. Segundo a Inbrands, essa associação tem o objetivo de expandir o portfolio da SPFW para além de uma semana de moda

Ao longo dos anos, o SPFW tem acumulado perdas – de glamour e de patrocínios – e em 2017 o evento teve cortado o patrocínio da Prefeitura da cidade de São Paulo

A venda e a mudança de formato dão novos ares à principal semana de moda brasileira
