"It's a collection to be used everywhere, for everyone. We invite you to live, to say 'let's have a good time'", said the 43 year old artist.

I am heart broken. I bought a gorgeous top with matching pants in October to wear on a cruise. I wore it for the first time and the black on the top bled all over the white! I only want to exchange it and Macys is giving me the run around. They are telling me to keep checking there website because it is out of stock, but also telling me that they not only don't know when or IF it will be in stock again.
