BLOOMINGDALE’S ANNOUNCES THE CAROUSEL @ BLOOMINGDALE’S: FEMALE FOUNDERS CURATED BY TIKA SUMPTER

Bloomingdale’s has announced The Carousel @ Bloomingdale’s: Female Founders Curated by Tika Sumpter – a celebration of female entrepreneurs in honor of Women’s History Month. Bloomingdale’s is partnering with Actress and Producer Tika Sumpter to take over the retailer’s Spring Carousel and showcase a curated assortment of must-have home, self-care, fashion, accessories and kids’ products from 50 female-founded and -owned brands including Kaleidadope, Kim Hill, The Spice Suite, Candice Luther, Estelle Glassware, Cult Gaia and more.

The Carousel will also feature products designed exclusively for Bloomingdale’s from Tika’s own brand, Fort Sumpter. The Fort Sumpter x Bloomingdale’s capsule collection is inspired by the fort of love, laughter, care and respect Tika’s parents built around their children. The collection was designed to tell the story of Tika’s childhood, full of love through items that are committed to women, children and joy.

“I’m so grateful that Bloomingdale’s has entrusted me to curate amazing products from women-owned and -founded brands for The Carousel @ Bloomingdale’s,” said Tika Sumpter. “Bloomingdale’s is giving these women and their brands a platform to honor their success. It’s a dream come true to be a part of this incredible moment to celebrate women and Women’s History Month. Little Tika is smiling at me now in disbelief.”

From February 23 to April 24, the space within the 59th Street flagship and online at Bloomingdales.com will be dedicated to amplifying female entrepreneurs and their products; a space where these women can tell their stories and inspire others. Throughout duration of the Carousel, additional events and activations will take place including:

• Female Founders Homepage Takeover: Shoppers can visit Bloomingdales.com to learn more about these 50 incredible women, their stories and brands.

• On Screen with Tika Sumpter: On International Women’s Day, March 8, Tika, joined by Co-host Angel Gregorio from The Spice Sweet, will host an On-Screen shopping event in the carousel at Bloomingdales.com, highlighting products and brands.

• Saturday’s Generation: On March 11, stores around the country will host a Saturday’s Generation celebrating female founders, featuring events, activations and surprises from the women-owned companies.

• Weekends with Basquet: Each Friday-Sunday, Basquet, an emerging female-founded, allergen-friendly online grocery store, will be offering samples from 1-5 p.m. A curated selection of products that promote joyful food discovery and shopping will also be available throughout the Carousel.

“As we look to define what’s next, seeing this carousel come to life means so much to Bloomingdale’s,” said Anya Deweerdt, marketing director, Unique Merchandising Initiatives, Bloomingdale’s. “By partnering with Tika Sumpter and the incredible group of entrepreneurs, we celebrate female empowerment through the lens of women who have broken barriers and successfully created successful brands in a range of spaces.”

SUPERVSN STUDIOS RELEASES SPRING STUDIO COLLECTION, THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THEIR PHILANTHROPIC FASHION PARTNERSHIP WITH PACSUN

Studio powered by Supervsn launches the first segment of their spring collection. The ultimate creative uniform is back in the evergreen black and debuting a new chocolate hue. The statement graphic tees are a forever staple in the Supervsn universe. The black hue features the statement “Never Not Creating” and the chocolate is emblazoned with a Studio logo, in their standard fit priced at $40 USD. The true hero piece of the collection is the cut-and-sew nylon anorak half-zip jacket, with a Studio graphic. The anorak half-zip retails at $120 USD. “As we go from collection to collection, we are designing with the creator in mind and thinking of ways to improve the product and best suit the creator’s lifestyle,” said Gavin Mathieu.

The visuals for this round of Studio drops are intriguing as usual, as most have come to expect from Supervsn campaigns. The brand took a unique approach to capture those who embody the true essence of fashion meeting function and combining overall utility.

“With this shoot, we decided to break the fourth dimension by putting the consumer behind the camera. Studio is activewear for the creative, it is for the people behind the scenes making it all come together; shoots, lookbooks, campaigns, production of products so the purpose of the shoot was to capture the creative in real-time. What’s unique about this shoot is that we actually captured the creative team in Studio while shooting an upcoming Supervsn campaign. It was a moment to bring it all together, and we are really proud of the result,” said Gavin Mathieu.

With the new year underway, Studio’s philanthropic partnership also kicks off this month with AEG Goldenvoice and Round Two programming. Interns will undergo a 12-week work experience at each company, with opportunities at Goldenvoice ranging in departments such as touring, talent, finance, ticketing and marketing; and an immersive public relations internship at Round Two.

“After the well-received response from our community around the initial Studio by Supervsn launch last year, we look forward to giving them new styles and colors from the Spring Collection,” said Richard Cox, VP of men’s at Pacsun. “The campaign creative aligns with Pacsun’s continued mission to give an authentic look into our brand and provides a unique lens by showcasing consumers and their creative team.”

The black and chocolate Studio collection dropped on February 16, 2023, exclusively in 100 Pacsun stores nationwide and online at supervsn. com and pacsun.com.
