Bernard Chaus Inc. (fka CHBD)

There is a possibility that Bernard Chaus could get the Kenneth Cole New York women's sportswear license in addition to their Kenneth Cole Reaction women's license. On November 2, 2006, Kenneth Cole Productions terminated their agreement with Paul Davril, Inc regarding the Kenneth Cole New York Men's and women's sportswear license. Here is a link:

At this point I would give this a 10% odds of happening as it is pure speculation.

I did listen to the Kenneth Cole Productions Q1 conference call. There was a brief reference to CHBD but they didn't say anything material regarding CHBD.
