Isaac Mizrahi Outerwear will incorporate all classifications of coats and jackets. The silhouettes will be timeless, classic and elegant, yet modern and trend-right. They will incorporate Isaac's signature use of vibrant color and logo hardware detailing.
Robert D'Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Xcel Brands, Inc. said, "I am very excited to be in business with Fleet Street to launch our Fall 2012 outerwear collections. This license is a great addition to our growing brand."

I've innovated and contributed so much to outerwear and now I'm looking forward to creating a strong position in the marketplace."
Manny Haber, President of Fleet Street, Ltd., said, "We are just thrilled to be teaming up with Isaac and Bob's most talented team at Xcel. Our reputation for innovation, fit, and quality combined with Isaac's vision of timeless fashion will produce beautiful outerwear for today's customer."

Today, Fleet Street provides a comprehensive range of outerwear products to an equally expanding roster of clients ranging from exclusive specialty stores to America's largest store groups. From the start, Fleet Street put a premium on innovation that added value to its products. Equally important to the firm's growth is its reputation for quality.
