Two months after acquiring Vince, Kellwood Co. has acquired another niche, upscale contemporary brand Hollywould Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“This is a neat little emerging brand that hopefully we can build into something big,” said Robert C. Skinner Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer of Kellwood. “The growth potential would be exponential.”
Founded by creative director Holly Dunlap in 1999 as a luxury footwear line, today the brand includes a limited amount of apparel and other accessories. Positioned at accessible designer price points, Hollywould is sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, specialty stores and its own boutiques in Palm Beach and in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood.
