Jones Apparel Tries To Woo Wang

Jones Apparel Group is reportedly looking to make a deal with Vera Wang to produce a sportswear label.

Jones, which owns a number of big-name retail brands, including Barneys New York, Anne Klein and Nine West, is currently up for sale and has interest from a number of private equity groups.

Some are speculating that the group is looking to the Wang deal to make its “For Sale” sign more attractive. But the designer, famed for her bridal gowns, is famous for lengthy negotiations, according to WWD.
