PAGE MW1 GRANOFF BECOMES CEO Vince Gets New Team Amidst Talk of IPO By LISA LOCKWOOD NEW YORK — Kellwood Co. is stepping on the Vince accelerator. The company said Wednesday that Jill Granoff, chief executive offi cer of Kellwood, will assume THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2013 ■ $3.00 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY the additional responsibility of ceo of Vince, over- seeing the strategic growth and direction of the Los WWD Angeles-based contemporary brand. In addition, Granoff named Doo-Ri Chung creative director of Vince. Chung will relocate to Vince’s Los Angeles de- sign studio and will be responsible for design, prod- uct development and creative branding initiatives. The moves were spurred by the resignations Tuesday of Vince cofounders Rea Laccone, ceo, and Christopher LaPolice, president. Granoff plans to name a new president in the near future. Granoff said one of the reasons she was hired by Sun Capital Partners to be the ceo of Kellwood “was to accelerate the growth of Vince and unleash its po- tential as a global lifestyle brand.” There has been speculation Sun may do an initial public offering for Vince, but Granoff declined to comment. Kellwood is reportedly working with Goldman Sachs as it ex- plores an IPO or sale of Vince, although it couldn’t be learned if the investment bank has been offi cially hired to put together an offering. If there were an IPO, fi nancial sources believe it would be a partial spin off of Vince, which would leave Kellwood holding a signifi cant stake in that business, as well as its other, less profi table businesses, such as COLLECTIONS Rebecca Taylor, Sag Harbor and My Michelle.

Others costs, like compensating departing Saks executives with change-of-control payments and paying bankers, would raise the price further. The next couple of weeks will be decisive, the Punch sources said. “Hudson’s Bay has never paid full price for any- thing,” said one source. “They are bargain hunters.” Fun in the sun? Not exactly.
